Yes, for example the Miami Herald is still accessible without a subscription and was the prime investigative newspaper in the case of a Palm Beach resident (not Trump!) who cannot be mentioned here. They did excellent work.

I don't think computation is democratized when most of the barely usable models are in the hands of mega corporations. Computers have been way more accessible in the DOS era, when travel agents could effortlessly handle console program

You can get pretty far with just K&R and in isolation if you write algorithmic code. Or with just APUE in isolation. LLMs cannot, they need vast bodies of stolen text to become remotely useful. For all activities, humans need less train

I wonder what his colleague Knuth at Stanford says about commercially driven hype like: "AI has made coding the easy part." "Things that used to take six engineers three months to build, "my friends and I, we'll jus

The people who are positive about "AI" like Roychoudhury have warmed a lot of chairs: https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/cs/people/abhik/ Of course, he also had a startup for an agentic "AI" appr

I doubt that the WSJ is influenced by a couple of thousands of bot accounts that are overtly spammy (there is also #Solana spam in the comments): https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/china-ai-deepseek-chatbot-6ac4ad... ht

The Perplexity report is vibe-written and an excellent example that "AI" is entirely unreliable. At the time I am making this comment, it states: "Anthropic also reported discovering North Korean operatives using Claude to fr

Fowler has pushed Agile, UML, Design Patterns, NoSQL, Extreme Programming, Pair Programming. "AI" and vibe coding fits very well into that list.

I'm not so sure. Inserting ads into chatbot output is like inserting ads into email. People are more reluctant to tolerate that than web or YouTube ads (which are hated already). If they insert stealth ads, then after the third sponsor

I would say it's time to fight back. Politicians need to be educated that "AI" is plagiarism and is used as an excuse to scale back the workforce. It also ruins the thriving intellectual landscape. Since you are a professor,

The senior developers pretended to use Claude Steal to comply with your rude and ignorant request. They are better at programming and the soft skills required to appease an incompetent manager. You just used "AI" to get rid of peo

I suppose we should fire up those "AI" browsers and let them loose on YouTube in a while loop. They are just the right audience for "AI" enhanced content and YouTube's advertisers will be thrilled.

It is hard to get an unbiased discussion like it would have been in the 1990s. The Linux Foundation is corporate sponsored and even funds PyTorch, with all the exuberant "AI" language: https://www.linuxfoundation.org&#x
