Executives are mostly irrelevant as long as they’re not forcing the whole company into the bullshit.
I’m seeing a lot of this, though. Like, I’m not technically required to use AI, but the VP will send me a message noting that I’ve only used 2k tokens this month and maybe I could get more done if I was using more…?
More as an alternative to a search engine.
In my ideal world, StackOverflow would be a public good with a lot of funding and no ads/sponsorship.
Since that’s not the case, and everything is hopelessly polluted with ads and SEO, LLMs are momentarily a useful tool for getting results. Their info might be only 3/4 correct, but my search results are also trash. Who knows what people will do in a year when the LLMs have been eating each others slop and are also being stuffed with ads by their owners.
Coding junkie is where you sneak away from your friends and code a few lines in the bathroom
We’re talking here about garbage code that we don’t want. If the choice is “let me commit bad code that causes problems or else I will quit using computers”… is this a dilemma for you?
It does seem silly, but it’s perfectly aligned with the marketing hype that the AI companies are producing.
The disconnect is coming here:
I just don’t see the line where any of that is impossible. It seems inevitable
I agree with you that robots building robots is not impossible. I disagree with you that it’s therefore inevitable. I strongly disagree with you that it’s therefore inevitable in the immediate future.
The people cheering are just honoring Charlie’s legacy.
It always amazes me how few people get this. Have they only ever made terrible hires?
The way that a company makes big profits is by hiring fresh graduates and giving them a cushy life while they grow into good SWEs. By the time you’re paying $200k for a senior software engineer, they’re generating far more than that in value. And you only had to invest a couple years and some chump change.
But now businesses only think in the short-term and so paying $10k for a month of giving Anthropic access to our code base sounds like a bargain.
