The End of Software
- graypegg 2y agoSomeone has to multiply your matrices somehow.
- jauntywundrkind 2y agoThis is some droll trash. And it's being reposted every couple hours. Frag this. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20End%20of%20Software&sort=byDate https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20End%20of%20Software&sort... Techies are the ones who actually understand how things work & how to design them. Maybe the LLMs will help write the code (I'm skeptical) but this insistence that knowing anything will be obsolete is a horrible evil lie to tell youngsters. It's not well backed up at all either. Stop reposting this garbage.
- altdataseller 2y agoFor what its worth, i think its garbage as well and just wanted to post it here so more people could say how garbage it is and confirm my confirmation bias :)
- greenbit 2y agoI'll pile on with a dose of "people keep overestimating ability of these things". They do a good job at imitating the ramblings of human beings (you are what you eat!) but computer code that needs to do anything more serious than just look plausible in a movie, has to have a depth of understanding behind it that these models utterly lack.
- RetroTechie 2y agoSome day, AI-generated slop will spark discussion threads with AI agents responding to other AI agents' posts, no human involved whatsover. Any real Techie(tm) will count themselves lucky to not be involved.
