compiler is deterministic, coding models are not. compilers have been unit tested and will generate same output for a given input. They are not the same things.

No, dont trust the supposed "staff engineer" types, Many had forgotten how to write code and now they can finally live the fantasy of being architects. So for them its like winning a jackpot. For people who could always write good

Or dont pay them out of your own pocket. Use employer paid but dont let these shit companies in your personal space.

Stop acting like software engineering is dead or something. Even if it its, we will still code by hand when we are poor later in this bubble. Only thing I would refuse is to pay any money to Anthropic & openAI. Literally would invest in

Its not about information but about directing the user in this case. Not everything has to be information dense or even convenient. Sometimes you want users to scroll or make them click step buttons. (checkout is sometimes made to have more

Yet they have produced almost nothing. You can give $10k to couple of college grads and get a better product.

Except it started in 2023, we are in the middle of layoff waves.

meetings hardly reach anywhere. most of the details are eventually figured out by developers when interacting with the code. If all ideas from PMs are implemented in a software, it would eventually turn into bloatware before even reaching M

> The cost of turning written business logic into code has dropped to zero. Or, at best, near-zero. Zero if you dont consider Anthropic's API pricing, the prompter's hourly rate and verification bottleneck.

In some ways no, because to learn something you have to LEARN that then thats in the training data. But humans can do it continuously and sometimes randomly, and also being without prompted.

governments will collapse before we are at a moment where UBI is needed. Billionaires and companies hardly pay any tax and if white collar jobs die down, there is no guarantee that government will even have money to wipe their butt.

I am familiar with the business model. This is clear indication of what their future plan is. Also, I just pointed out at the business issue, just raising a point which was not raised here. Just want people to be more cautious

They have contracts with companies, and those companies wont be able to change quickly. By the time those contracts will come back for renewals it will already be too late, their code becoming completely unreadable by humans. Individual dev

They can now easily decrease the speed for the normal mode, and then users will have to pay more for fast mode.

by falloutx 8mo ago
Watch them decrease resources for the normal mode so people are penny pinched into using fast mode.

This is to test the room before real enshitification happens. Companies who bought from Anthropic are really in for a ride.

by falloutx 8mo ago
Why would they cut a money making feature? In fact I am already imagining them asking for speed ransom every time you are in a pinch, some extra context space will also become buyable. Anthropic is in a penny pincher phase right now and the

Slowing down with respect to original speed of response. Basically what we used to get few months back and what is the best possible experience.

Thats also called slowing down default experience so users have to pay more for the fast mode. I think its the first time we are seeing blatant speed ransoms in the LLMs.

Anything special about these questions? Are they unsolved by humans. I am not working in mathematics research so its hard to tell the importance.

Frameworks are the reasons why AI can learn patterns and repeat, without frameworks you will be burning credits just to do things that been optimized already and completed. Unless you are Anthropic investor, thats not the way to improve you

Finally a post that is relevant to what I have been looking for quite some time. Also, kudos to keeping it so concise and to the point, thats some prime writing.

Yes, but who did we automate out of a job by building crappy software? Accountants are more threatened by AI than any of the software we created before, same with Lawyers, teachers. We didnt automate any physical labourers out of a job too.
