Because at a certain point, "spend below your means, save as much as you can" is the financial advice most people are unable to follow, yet determines 90% of the outcome.

One of the most hilarious things coming out of this community, easily disproved, is how high it thinks the code quality of the average developer is. If AI writes code at the 51st percentile it's raising the bar.

No one is stopping you from writing every single line of code manually.

And you get down voted for saying something truthful and mundane because, apparently, HackerNews is now filled with morons.

by budsniffer952 3mo ago
Haha yeah, we are all being paid to come on HackerNews and say we are benefitting from AI. I mean, no one could honestly be benefitting, right? Unbelievable stuff coming out of this place.

Wow, some guy on a podcast is "roughly in line"? Shut it down people! Some guy on a tech podcast agrees with HackerNews, that's all the evidence we need! There is obviously zero evidence contrary!

Yeah, I'm a bot. We are all bots. I can't even fathom what it would be like to assume that every opposing viewpoint is "not real". Just utter, brain-rotted disillusionment. And if that's the way you think, why would

Nobody has to prove anything to you. I don't care one wink if you like or use AI.

by budsniffer952 3mo ago
Yeah, what tools???? What are we even talking about here?

The business model has not been discovered yet.

So his big insight is that if you take away the two largest customers the demand is much lower? Wow, such informative. > The GPUs and the high bandwidth memory they use have little use other than to run and train these LLMs. It's c

It's the opposite: people like you will be telling people using these tools successfully, "but where are all great new products???", which, of course, is almost immeasurable. The Internet is a better fax machine and all that.

Popped over to HackerNews, read two comment sections and the top comments in both articles were users saying the same thing: "AI can't write code! The whole thing will come crumbling down any minute! Just you wait!" I'

Yeah, sure. Meanwhile pollutants and CO2 per person have been on a downward trend for decades. But two years of this admin has ruined in all? There is no hope unless we decide to do things globally. And until you are willing to "compel

Sorry, not going to be afraid. Do you think climate change wipes us out before some other natural disaster?

75% of comments on every article you read about AI on hacker news is talking about the bubble. But everyone thinks the bubble talk is contrarian.

Yeah, VR was very clearly useless, and yet... Do you even know what FOMO is? The money is being spent in physical infrastructure, not the the metaverse.

Cell phones are commodities, so how does Apple maintain that cash flow? It's almost like there is more to it than that...

You are allowed to refuse access to your device, and they are allowed to refuse entry to the country.

> The point is, is anyone getting any value from it? No, you're right, no one is getting any value from it.
51.
by budsniffer952 3mo ago
Are you denying that AI revenues are growing? Or are you just adding nonsense about "yeah but yeah but no value"?
52.
by budsniffer952 3mo ago
> are those companies using AI getting a positive ROI? Yes. > So far there is no signs it is the case How could you possibly know this?

> Presumably at some point you need a measurable productivity return yea? At what point? This technology is brand new . Did you think we were going to double productivity in 3 years? Capacity is being built. It's hard to buil

> not translating to a dramatic increase in revenue. Completely false. AI and AI related revenues are growing exponentially .

Ah, yes, "experienced developers" see all the problems and resolve all the tech debt preemptively, which is why the state of software (even pre-LLM) was so great.

While humans are infallible and correct.

What do you know, you can get someone to support any message or arguments you want. Lesson in there about experts and politics.
58.
by budsniffer952 3mo ago
Yes, because we had the same stupid arguments then: "that's not AI!" So machine learning became the marketing.

You're just making up your own definitions. Have at it, but as you've been told: this stuff is not new.

You do realize there's another side to it, right? There are morally good examples where privacy is needed, and morally bad examples where not being able to access data is harmful. I personally agree with you, but for most people it&#x2
