Between AI, infini-jeets, infini-changs, and everything slowly grinding to a halt, how the fuck do I survive?

Only a few options:
>Work for a not-publicly traded software company
(They're not hiring at the moment, so you already need the job now)
>Think up some niche useful application, write it, and sell it.
>Develop a small vidya thing, put it on Steam/Switch, and pray
>Learn car programming/electronic repair, especially for vehicles from 2005-2017 or so, as they're no longer made but need repairs regularly.
>Learn programming for some other obsolete system used at your local power plant or something that will never get replaced.
>Become l337 h4ck3r and take over some major infrastructure

look for research jobs, if you're not a complete social retard you can always leverage your education and skills for basic research positions; they usually ask for someone with a STEM background anyhow, and may only ask you to have some experience with medical terminology or what not.

lots of software has flaws today

i've noticed people use symbols instead of having text say what things mean

i play so many games, that have no instructions at all

i would say if you do anything, do it professionally, all the basic steps you'd expect from a professional product

there's so much garbage around made as if the programmer doesn't realise the user hasn't got a clue what the fuck he's on about, particularly replacing text with symbols, this really annoys me

maybe i'm just stupid or unlucky


i think the first versions of windows were best

then they added all this 'smart' shit

and now every day is telling it to 'shut up close window shut up'

things used to be so simple and predictable

now it's symbols and 'intelligent' misplaced prediction,

it's all confusing and slow now

and stay away from AI nobody likes it

if you want graphics, you get a lot more control still, modelling everything yourself, until AI offers more specific control, it's kind of just a waste of time

so much of my content, is AI, then painting over AI's mistakes

it would be much faster if I just did all the graphics myself on a proper software package, than edit every frame to cut out it's mistakes

don't be affraid of old programming tools either


i still use checking tools from 1994 to check my programming, because it runs the fastest and doesn't need an internet connection and best of all 'it's not smart' it does what i tell it, never 'smart' stuff, all day isn't telling it to 'just shut up'

if you doubt using old DX versions and old libraries

this is a major mistake

you should copy me, i take all the new stuff, cut out the 'weak' portions and replace the weak portions with much faster versions from whatever era, it produces a totally optimized outcome

every new thing, has a good point and a bad point, so if you hack out all the bad point, you'll left with something worth pushing

you can tally my ideas with a range of big companies that got away with using DX8 libraries, and continue to pull in punters, albeit adapted for all devices, the thing is it's more tried and tested than anything new, new means danger, because it means nobody tested it yet

don't forget to have flaws too

as a computer programmer you would have eliminated the possibility of having any flaws, as a habbit built into you

but unfortunately, the way the people around the world operate is with the belief mistakes are human

it might be important to demonstrate that you're 'like them'

as you're aware the programmers that were the best, didn't really end well for lots of them

have flaws, but not by mistake

like all computers, they make lots of basic calculation errors constantly

the saying 'im not a computer'

was meant to mean perfection

but it's a mistaken interpretation, the main thing a computer does is makes more mistakes than if a human was processing the data

current error rate?
error rates ranging from 37% to 94%

knowledge error rate maybe more around 30%

if you've ever spoken to AI, you'll notice how it's uphill, you telling google and AI what the facts of life are

and later, the strangest thing i've seen is 'im sorry you're correct'

what the hell?

how can it know it was incorrect?

worrying about AI
is like worrying about the NSA, CIA or FBI, or predictive detective work that believes in fantasy concepts like 'instinct' despite secretly knowing instinct is a signal from a radio source, designed to affirm safety for high ranking crime and money shipping, that if a detective used what God gave them, there wouldn't be such a possiblity as selling arms to repressive regmimes, it's only receiving 'instincts' that makes illegal transactions go undetected

in short, it's not the programmer that is similar to a machine, it's the machine part that is similar to the machine

they're people that have fast-tracked in place
not because they're error free like God made them
but because they're full of error like 'scheme' hammered and shaped them

reliable
but not in the good way

the machine of reality, depends of limits in each person, a basic requirement of an effective money machine, to 'not be sure', 'wonder', or 'pray in church', to not be as God made you, but instead, with limitation

knowing this as a programmer, there will always be room for you

but not for AI
and according to prophecy, not to people that mimic AI with a high error rate and pray in church as a consequence of not thinking ahead, and profess 'lazy' as 'just human' instead of mistake realised as a condionment against God by 'the machine', that naturally no person makes mistakes, it takes a lifetime of teaching, to produce a person that makes mistakes and ends up in prayer wondering, the sort of people pleased for promotion and pleased for praise, instead of the logical outcome to assume it means they're 'small and under control', tested to believe it

a perfect money machine

but not for a programmer,

after the end of all things

only the programmer remains

maybe one day, the world will be a free place, where never making a mistake will become acceptable to others

and spiritual people will be allowed to pray to their Gods too at the same time, free of fear of persecution

as long as we live in a world with a massive mistake rate

there will always be a special place for people in the image of God
