It’s happening
also there's a decent chance imho that it's "good" as in "advanced" but ends up affecting more people in a negative way (job loss, slop, cultural rot, etc) than in a positive way, so it doesn't win that many adherents outside of the tech sphere
i think it has a lot of pizzazz but virtually every time that it gets deployed in some situation where it has to give a correct answer it sorta blows up or does something that costs some company or person their reputation. matthew butterick stated it as, a lot of cases where 90% right is as bad as 0
🤌
if ai ends up being as good as the hype says it is, i think it's less likely to inextricably linked to one side of the political sphere. but if it stagnates and is used for propaganda, to justify mass layoffs, and to make much-hated slop, i could def picture it becoming a rw thing
imho at this point crypto is almost entirely polarized as right-wing in the united states, i really wonder whether ai will be polarized (probably as the same) in a couple of years

Guess what? Mise makes it so you can skip the "bundle exec" prefix when running Fastlane. That's right! It's a fantastic tool for enhancing the developer experience of your Xcode projects and Swift packages. 🚀
