I installed antigravity when i was looking into agentic coding.

I asked it to fix a bug in a game i was working on as a side project.
It took 4 hours, asked for permission maybe twice and then was like "hey here's my slop version of the game that I assumed you wanted me to waste 500 African families' weekly fresh water supply on 3 data centers to code based on the vague notion you told me you were looking to do when i asked you what you were up to".

The bug was still there, along with i don't even know how many new ones. This actually happened. I still have the game.

thats a lot of water you used. far more than data centers themselves you used a fifth of the water golf courses use, a 10th of what almond farming uses and a 20th of what water the lawn takes but you take more.

Don't worry, I also fight everyday with speech-to-text imagining things.

[–] Pudutr0n@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bro uses a Google "product".

Surprise surprise a workflow built on top of a probabilistic slop generator is a house of cards, and not owning tools that create reproducible output is asking to have it blown down.

A Google Adwords update removed some of my "unremovable" rules recently . Seems like Google's updates are a problem.

He's an imbecile for using this scam in the first place, but I agree that auto-updates should not be used to replace software with something entirely different.

Pycharm with Claude running in a separate terminal works well for me. I tried Antigravity a while ago, until a previous update broke my workflow.

My use-case focuses on finding and organizing information. I do have a bunch of python and bash scripts, but they're all quite short.
