The effort some people go to for an upvote… you won’t get one from me.

Am I the only person that gives no fucks about fonts?

Someone should warn them that the use of Fox News puppets to lead government departments is not only a breach of trust, but also makes the country more vulnerable.

We’ll see the beginning of a crash in about a year and the crash probably won’t end for 7-10 years.

We’re looking at a full scale shift in the way large scale orgs are running their businesses; and it’s a shift a lot of them will need to pivot from once they realize it’s not working.

You know… if this wasn’t an “AI specific blunder” we’d probably spend some time talking about how uniquely incompetent Altman has been as a someone running a business.

I don’t expect to see midterms in 2026.

It’s pretty much the same shit that sales people do when they’re put on the spot.

That’s inappropriately expensive for one round.

Right around March 2026

Can someone do this again? I missed hearing about it the first time.

I’m coming from a place where I’ve heard this joke before. So, for me it just seems like a lack of self awareness.

I guess it’s funny the first time you hear it.

Funny enough, the AI shift is really just covering for the over-hiring mistakes in 2021. They can’t admit they fucked up in hiring too many people during Covid, so they’re using AI as the scapegoat. We all know it’s not able to actually replace people yet; but that’s happening anyway.

There won’t be any immediate ramifications, we’ll start to see that in probably 12-18 months or so. It’s just another form of kicking the can down the road.

How are they at debugging? In a silo, they’re shit.

I’ve been using one LLM to debug the other this past week for a personal project, and it can be a bit tedious sometimes, but it eventually does a decent enough job. I’m pretty much vibe coding things that are a bit out of my immediate knowledge and skill set, but I know how they’re supposed to work. For example, I’ve got some python scripts using rekognition to scan photos for porn or other explicit stuff before they get sent to an s3 bucket. After that happens, there’s now a dashboard that’s going to give me results on how many images were scanned and then marked as either acceptable or flagged as inappropriate. After a threshold of too many inappropriate images being sent in, it’ll shadowban them from sending any more dick pics in.

For someone that’s never taken a coding course, I’m relatively happy with the results I’m getting so far. Granted, this may be small potatoes for someone with an actual development background; but as someone that’s been working adjacent to those folks for several years, I’m happy with the output.

I’m not a “software engineer” but a lot of people that don’t work within tech would probably call me one.

I’m in Cloud Engineering, but came from the sys/network admin and ops side of things rather than starting off in dev or anything like that.

Up until about 5 years ago, I really only knew Powershell and a little bit of bash. I’ve gotten up to speed in a lot of things but never officially learned python, js, go or any other real development language that would be useful to me. I’ve spent way more time focusing on getting good with IaC, and probably more of the SRE type stuff.

In my particular situation, LLMs are incredibly useful. It’s fair to say that I use them daily now. I’ve had it convert bash scripts to python for me very quickly. I don’t know python but now that I’m able to look at a python script next to my bash; I’m picking up on stuff a lot faster. I’m using Lambda way more often as a result.

Also, there’s a lot of mundane filling out forms shit that I delegate to an LLM. I don’t want to spend my time filling out a form that I know no one is actually going to read. F it, I’ll have the AI write a report for an AI. It’s dumb as shit, but that’s the world today.

You’re making a great analogy with the 3D printing of a house.

However, if we consider the 3D printed house scenario; that skilled craftsman is now able to do things on his own that he would have needed a team for in the past. Most, if not all, of the less skilled members of that team are not getting any experience within the craft at that point. They’re no longer necessary when one skilled person can now do things on their own.

What happens when the skilled and highly experienced craftsmen that use AI as a supplemental tool (and subsequently earn all the work) eventually retire, and there’s been no juniors or mid-levels for a while? No one is really going to be qualified without having had exposure to the trade for several years.

Glad to see someone that thinks similarly to me. The more goons, the more potential holes!

So just figure out who’s on the security team. They can have their minds changed.

If I were in the audience you’d be getting a dead-ass cold stare from me. Not a laugh, but after your speech you’re going to be feeling kinda uncomfortable.

I’d recommend not.

I deleted my Facebook account in 2009. I started an IG account in 2021 that was 100% for comic book stuff. Deleted that one last night.
