AI-generated style right now has a what I'd call a grotesque aesthetic. Its offputting and immediately recognizable. The biggest offender being the rounded fonts and "wrong" smiles. Its probably going to get better but until

Software engineers are splitting into two camps either by choice or by being forced to by management. Those who have the self-discipline to use LLMs responsibly and those that are going all-in on AI. Imo there's a place for both camps

The language of these LLM posts makes me think they're considering the option to be a defense subsidiary. It doesn't seem like they're actually constraining or limiting the models in any way. They don't seem to understan

Lots of people mention this higher abstraction level but its not really the case. C has a grammar. You write C and get C as output. Assembly is hidden from the user. Natural language also has a grammar ("sort of"). You write prose

To be fair I think its far easier to automate leadership jobs despite how they believe in greater self-worth. As a developer I keep running into problems that require some measure of creativity to solve or workaround. And regardless of how

Imo it can support the separation in meaningful ways. There are many political topics where opinions are flooding online forums much quicker than anyone with informed opinion can answer or digest them Having a quick reference for "veri

I'm kind of hopeful AI some wikipedia-inspired AI "oracle" will happen in the future. Why not use some central AI to separate fact from fiction (faster than trolls and griefers can come to muddy the debate).

All this mindless droning about societal collapse, destruction of jobs, people moving on is really getting old. Sure people have caused mayhem by following (and enforcing) bad practices which resulted in a toxic workplace, a mix of pissed o

I wonder if this book will eventually be bought up by LLM companies, scanned, shredded and become a source of ethics info for the future generations. Who knows...

The problem and what the article is pointing out is that original content is slowly and progressively being replaced by AI content. And since AI gets trained on this content as well it will eventually train itself on previous gen. content t

I have this nagging feeling that the depression, anxiety and pessimism is as-of-late coming from people from all the companies that risked it by adopting token maxing and AI usage enforcement. Its not representative of the whole industry th

Rovo is one of those intrusive AI buttons that suddenly appeared everywhere without any warning. Its so annoying having already shitty UI get borked with features I never use. Almost as annoying as Whatsapp suddenly getting the same FOMO AI

I feel any criminal is a big beneficiary of AI. Its something that's not being talked enough by the big AI players who are just chasing profit by burning books, consuming water, promising people getting thrown out of jobs and of course

It doesn't really matter how much more productive a developer is if all other roles at the company don't follow suit. Before a developer picks up something to work on a series of roles had to set their eyes on work to be done. Pro

I find this speed-obsession to just be a natural side-effect of obsessive toxic competitiveness that's plaguing the internet. And its been around for a while. Clickbait videos and articles like top 10 holiday destinations or how to imp

Hacker news is so one-dimensional when it comes to China. Its like people here are living in an alternate dimension where everyone outside the horizon is playing catchup. Imo a sandboxed local expert handheld or mobile AIs are the future. T

I don't get this US medical system. And the more I get to read about it the less informed I feel. Sounds like every involved medical service out there is just to rip the patient off.

I had an itch to rewrite every project after it got large enough and have rewritten some of them. The tragedy of rewriting stuff is that it often ends up becoming more of a duplicate than an improved original. Its hard to see all the edge c

While I find robots cool they just don't literally "fit" in an average flat or house I lived in majority of my life. In order to squeeze one more member into your average household the lil thing needs to justify refurbishing

Sounds like just a case of pirates "illicitly" stealing from pirates. I don't really see anything ethically questionable there. I wonder if US corps will ever come out about all the resources used to train the original models

This is revolting. Given how many kids played and are still playing the game this literally means weaponizing kids playing games. Humanity has been lost somewhere along the way.

There's a reason why everyone must use agents and LLMs exclusively or be left behind. The entire Silicon valley livelihood is now a stack of cards built on a promise of infinite productivity gains based on LLMs. If that falls we'r

I find this doomsday interpretation of AI replacing engineers ridiculous. Lots of it also seems to be bot-written spam. Just because an AI seems to know finance/architecture/debugging doesn't devalue authors knowledge of said

I don't get why every AI article is so hyper-focused on coding speed. If the coding is so fast doesn't it make sense to invest more time into quality, learning, documentation, testing refactoring, making a better product? I'm

This entire debacle weirds me out. Surely the police is aware of the water issues. They drink from the same tap as the locals do. What would a sane person call arresting people that publicly call out that your water supply is obviously cont

I'm also wondering about the process. What was the prompt, what they fed into the model, what it was trained on, etc. The article reads like a marketing post. Nevertheless new maths is exciting and might lead to what I find slightly mo

Sounds pretty accurate. Bunch of comments on this thread sound like AI is some kind of a new doomsday cult. The most annoying thing I find personally is that all engineering principles are getting crushed by non techies. Management counting

The way we got to 40 hours workweek wasn't really through productivity increase despite productivity increasing substantially in the era before less work hours became standard. It was due to rebellion by the workers and syndicates. I e

There's a lot of ads/propaganda/influencer BS/copywriting about how incredible AI but the reality is that its not "that" good. VCs want a return on their investment. Also I suggest giving it low-level instructi

What's with all the AI fear mongering and doomspeak? Feels like people have never been so excited about getting laid off and becoming obsolete. It used to be that workers fought for their rights but maybe decades of software engineerin
