??? This is about giving chinese nationals root access to US military IT systems to save money. It’s actually terrible opsec and should be a way worse scandal.

No they’re not they’re talking purely at a technical level and you’re trying to apply mysticism to it.

I’m not the one who told you to flip burgers, but making an appeal to authority where the authority is yourself and you’ve already repeatedly said things that destroy your credibility is a new level of pathetic.

Respect my authoritah!

You’re just completely wrong lol. You definitely don’t know jack about shit if you think you can AI generate code and people that actually know what they’re doing will find it indistinguishable from code by someone that is at least learning. And if I ask a question and someone throws up their hands and says AI wrote it, or more likely tries to wriggle out of it because they “understand what’s going on at the level I need”, I’m just going to call my boss and tell him to get them the fuck off my team.

AI is a very generic term and people should stop using it synonymously with LLM which is a very specific thing.

LLMs have the hallucination problem, and that is a fundamental aspect of the technology that makes it unfit for many of the purposes that are driving investment.

If I’m somehow wrong and LLM based tools actually become useful, I can learn them then. “Use shitty tools or you’ll get left behind!” Is a completely stupid argument - “skills” in using a shitty tool probably won’t transfer to using this hypothetical good tool anyway.

And just to reiterate, the argument of “the internet/smart phones/whatever was revolutionary so this is too”, even though so far all we really have is “some ok sometimes coding tools”, “search that lies sometimes”, “summary that lies sometimes” is completely stupid. There are plenty of technologies that didn’t become part of our daily lives as well…

“Nvidia had good sales in the last 3 months” doesn’t necessarily conflict with whatever drove those articles last week…

“A technology got more useful in the past” isn’t a compelling reason to argue something else will get more useful…

Use your critical thinking skills lol

I hate it when people submit PRs they can’t understand or explain. It is more work for me than just writing it myself. Also, this whole “AI can bootstrap an app!” line is fucking stupid. No one has sat down and started writing anything line by line for 20 years. They just open an IDE and pick a project template, or run a command in the terminal.

“Some random people were wrong about something in the past so nobody is allowed to speculate that any technology isn’t as revolutionary as it’s hyped to be ever again” is not a useful or compelling argument.
