The non-technical people can learn (or can be forced to learn to keep their jobs) and enough will succeed to devastate programmer employment.

I agree that the employee's purpose is to bring value. The question is, now that AI can generate code that's good enough to get by, is there enough value that a software developer brings to justify their continued employment. IM

Cloud providers want to make sure they bill someone for every microsecond of compute, particularly GPU compute which is in demand. They constantly work towards good monitoring because their profits are directly on the line.

None of the investors in these AI megacorps seem to be divesting or demanding a halt to operations despite this supposed 10% risk, a risk that would also badly drop the value their investment even if only partially true. So it's just

The person I was replying to talked about executives being fired with no reason given. So "protecting criminals" is something you pulled out of your own imagination and warrants no response. Have a nice day.

Weird to see so many posters suddenly pop up that are anxious to protect investors (who have the access and means to protect themselves) at the expense of harming employees and workers. Glad to see you all getting into the ultra-capitalist

So you would prefer a media circus and investor scrutiny when your employer's executives are fired for failures or misconduct? This is likely to cause the price of the shares to drop, including any ESPP and stock grants you and your c

In a world where AI can answer questions and solve problems, the ones still employed are the ones who know which problems are worth solving and why. We cannot ask the AI a nonsensical question and expect a useful output. Knowledge and skil

You're overlooking the word "mostly" in the quote you trotted out. Ask yourself: what were the prompts that weren't encouragement and would you understand them if you looked them up?

I'll point out that the bible verse was a translation for the common folk of their central religious document in an age where Christianity was dominant. Being able to read it smoothly is a very low bar to clear for the educated.

A lot of these "AI will destroy humanity" doomers watched Terminator as a child and can't distinguish a campy action movie from reality. They are also unfortunately unfamiliar with the word "logistics", as in &quot

Being proprietary or open source should not affect your marketing at all. If transitioning to open source is primarily for marketing purposes, it is likely to backfire.

You're debunking your own claim. It says "enhanced it" presumably for running on the PDP-10. What it clearly does not say is ported or sold as MS BASIC.
