We were promised supersonic jets today or very soon though and our economies have been held hostage waiting for that promise.
- soulofmischief 10mo agoThe first recorded supersonic flight was in 1947.
- windward 9mo agoSupersonic passenger planes failed commercially.
- eru 9mo agoThe passive voice is doing a lot of work in your sentence.
- troupo 9mo agoWe are perpetually just months away from software jobs being obsolete. AGI was achieved internally at OpenAI a year ago. Multiple companies have already re-hired staff they had fired and replaced with AI. etc.
- soulofmischief 9mo agoYour problem is thinking that hype artists, professionals and skeptics are all the same voice with the same opinion. Because of that, you can't recognize when sentiment is changing among the more skeptical.
- troupo 9mo agoYou are responding to some voices in your head, not to the context of the conversation. You're also presuming too much about what I'm thinking and being dead wrong about that.
- soulofmischief 9mo agoI am responding to what you wrote: > We are perpetually just months away from software jobs being obsolete. only hype artists are saying this. and you're using it as a way to negate the argument of more skeptical people.
- troupo 9mo agoFunctional illiteracy and lack of any capacity to hold any context longer than two sentences has long been a plague on HN. Now that we've outsourced our entire thinking process to "@grok is this true", it has now claimed almost the entirety of human race. soulofmischief: complains that AI-skeptics would say the Wright brothers were idiots because they didn't imediately implement a supersonic jet ares623: we were promised supersonic jets today or very soon (translation: AI hype and scam artists have already promised a lot now) eru: The passive voice is doing a lot of work in your sentence. (Translation: he questions the validity of ares623's statement) me: Here are just three examples of hype and scam promising the equivalent of super jet today, with some companies already being burned by these promises. soulofmischief: some incoherent rambling
- soulofmischief 9mo agoApply your own "functional literacy". I made a clarification that those outside of an industry have to separate the opinions of professionals and hype artists. The irony of your comment would be salient, if it didn't feel like I was speaking with a child. This conversation is over, there's no reason to continue speaking with you as long you maintain this obnoxious attitude coupled with bad reading comprehension.
- troupo 9mo agoIt's a hillarious attempt to save face. "Separate opinions of professionals" etc. Here's Ryan Dahl, cofounder of Deno, creator of Node.js tweeting today: --- start quote --- This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it. https://x.com/rough__sea/status/2013280952370573666 https://x.com/rough__sea/status/2013280952370573666 --- end quote --- Professional enough for you?
