Me too. That resonates really strongly with my feelings. I’m hoping that most people aren’t full steam in AI. I haven’t had any coworkers who just rely on AI… I have had some bosses who do tho…

You can entirely remove the word “forensics” and my statement would be the same…

I think forensic analysis of photographs would reveal pretty quickly if they’re AI anyway. AI images of real life still don’t pass intense scrutiny.

Most browsers let you extend a page’s css (at least via extensions) I don’t think this would be immune to that.

> A more risky job should be compensated more? Yea, duh. The more your decisions affect the company, the more you’re compensated. It’s why C-suite commands the biggest salaries. It’s another reason why orgs are so low trust.

Amen. People’s unawareness of their own personification bias with LLMs is wild.

Yes, they make things faster and easier. My question was what do cars let us do now that we couldn’t before. We moved heavy objects and traveled long distances long before cars.

The idea of untangling AI generated typescript spaghetti fills me with dread. It’s as bad as untangling the last guy’s typescript spaghetti. He quit, so I can’t ask him about it either.

It doesn’t sound like the type of iteration matters at all. If your leadership is good and competent, they can drive the company any way they feel and have it work. The most productive I’ve been in my career was when my PO put all tasks tha

I’m not saying just leave everyone to their own devices, but some individuals should be able to have ownership and make decisions without layers and layers of process. Ofc decisions can have consequences, but that’s what the high pay should

It’s honestly probably not that evil.(generally. There are definitely evil orgs out there) It’s just the easiest way to make the stock price go up. Layoffs caused twitter to bump in price. Same with Microsoft when they laid off all those ga

Got news for you. It’s not the devs who are bloating development costs. It’s the layers of management making hour long meetings to discuss button placement. It’s the hours of retros, design meetings, and skip-levels designed to remove any p

I believe exponential (as opposed to logarithmic) advancement would be needed for that to happen. If the improvement curve is linear, it would be prohibitively expensive as and if logarithmic, it’d be impossible.

You’re missing the bit where humans can be held responsible and improve over time with specific feedback. AI models only improve through training and good luck convincing any given LLM provider to improve their models for your specific use

Not OP, but my take: Goodheart’s law states: “ When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure” If your accounting is too fine grained, there becomes an inescapable draw to point at a metric and declare that a goal. Once tha
