   That will never happen unless we figure out a far simpler way to prove the system does what it should. If you've ever had bugs crop up with a full test suite you should know this is incredibly hard to do LLMs can't read your mind.

   Not just consumers. Also small teams, indies, open source contributors Depending on how large the paywall ends up being this could lock a lot of those out of being competitive

   > I guess your premise is mass unemployment is not worth worrying about, so okay then My point wasn't that it's not a big deal. My point there is that if AI ends up taking a large % of white collar work you're going to hav

   What would things look like to make someone with currently ~10 years of experience unemployable? It's possible the job might change drastically, but I'm struggling to think of any scenario that doesn't also put most white col

   No. It turns into a complete mess without someone that knows what they're doing to steer it. It's an upgrade to autocomplete

   the 100x gains, even 10x, are obviously ridiculous but that doesn't mean AI is useless

   I'm with you. Codex's plans seems to be a much more generous offering than Claude I just.. can't tell a different in quality between them.. so I go for the cheapest

   yeah, to be honest it probably doesn't matter too much. I think the major models are very close in capabilities

    Are these the coding tasks the highlighted terminal-bench 2.0 is referring to? https://www.tbench.ai/registry/terminal-bench/2.0?categories... I'm curious what others think about these? There are only 8 tasks

    How does a company charging 10% their competitor afford to compete on marketing, sales, design, user testing or customer service? (this is even granting that AI is a 10x speedup for developers, which I don't agree with and no-one has s

    I find outside of specific use cases the performance and jank are down to the developers and not whether it's native or not Obsidian is an Electron app which is pretty much universally loved. We can both give single examples

    What features are they missing that a native app would allow for? No-one outside of a small sliver of the tech community cares if an app is built with web tech Electron also opens up easier porting to Linux which almost certainly wouldn&#x2

    If I were confident it were AI as the cause I'd be seriously tempted to buy right now Take Adobe for example: they're getting pummeled and there's no way it's due to AI No-one's building an in-house Photoshop clone

    I saw someone created a skill to weaponize that exact list to humanize the AI's output There are no clear signs, at least for anyone who cares to hide them

    I actually think this research points out why that isn't an issue: used properly, AI can help you learn and act as support. I'd also be fine if my LSP disappeared overnight. Kind of annoying but meh I'll be fine You should be

    Not only do I have a hard time catching up, but it's like I'm looking at a codebase I've never seen before, even though I absolutely reviewed the code before committing

    It's entirely possible for this to be literally false, but practically true The important question is can you learn enough in a standard human lifetime to "fill up your knowledge bank"?

    Interestingly if you look at the breakdown by years of experience, it shows the 1-3 year junior group being faster, 4+ years no difference I wonder if we're going to have a future where the juniors never gain the skills and experience

    They'd have to require all current subscriptions be cancelled and the re-upped with the new payment processor, no? That's gunna be really costly But then again to avoid a 30% fee.. probably worth it
