Some management would be cut off when the time comes, Execs on the other hand are not there for work and are in due to personal relationships, so impossible to fire. If you think someone like lets say Satya Nadella can't be replaced by

Did you need it though? Like most projects I see being done by people with Claude Code are just their personal projects, which they wouldn't have wasted their time on in the past but now they will get pulled into the terminal thinking

That is consumer choice, a consumer has rights to know whether something is made by using a tech which could make them unemployed or not. I wouldnt pay $70 or $10 on a game that I know someone didnt put effort into.

AI doomerism was sold by the AI companies as some sort of "learn it or you'll fall behind". But they didnt think it through, now that AI is widely seen as a bad thing by general public (except programmers who think they can d

All of the professions its trying to replace are very much bottom end of the tree, like programmers, designers, artists, support, lawyers etc. While you can easily already replace management and execs with it already and save 50% of the co

Are you actually reading the code? I have noticed most of the gains go away when you are reading the code outputted by the machine. And sometimes I do have to fix it by hand and then the agent is like "Oh you changed that file, let me

This is not reality for most companies. Some have billions in bank but still produce slop. Its because their internal systems rewards slop.

If a company wants to cut a lot of SWE it wouldn't matter if you have adapted or not, they will just cut as much as they can. How can you adapt more than another SWE? These tools seem easy to learn and there isn't a massive learni

I dont think that will happen, Not at least now. I dont even think AI would be suitable for creating an OS or a game engine. What seems to be increasing is no of saas products asking for subscriptions and most of the productivity, if any, i

Novel is different from a codebase. In code you can have a relationship between files and most files can be ignored depending on what you're doing. But for a novel, its a sequential thing, in most cases A leads to B and B leads to C an

I dispute 1 & 2 more than 4. 1) Is it actually watching a movie frame by frame or just searching about it and then giving you the answer? 2) Again can it handle very long novels, context windows are limited and it can easily miss someth

Its strong enough to replace humans at their jobs and weak enough that it cant do basic things. Its a paradox. Just learn to be productive with them. Pay $200/month and work around with its little quirks. /s

Not you, but the word replaced is the being used all the time. Even senior engineers are saying they are using it as a junior engineers while we can easily hire junior engineers (but Execs don't want to). Jevon's paradox wont wor

I am an AI-skeptic but I would agree this looks impressive from certain angles, especially if you're an early startup (maybe) or you are very high up the chain and just want to focus on cutting costs. On the other hand, if you are abou

I actually didnt know it was using a local model and that it fetches it locally.

Its not just AI scrappers doing it by themselves but now users are also being trained to put the link in the claude chat/chat gpt and ask it to summarise it. And off course that would show up on the website end as a scraper. In fact fi

Why would quality matter, You make a image from Google AI and its instantly marked as Synth ID. It can be easily detected and thrown out if you want to keep the site AI free. We would need AI free places now that AI is so easy and cheap to

Musicians and artists are under pressure to make money, but they cant rush it while programmers have to rush it these days or they lose their jobs. Programmers don't have much of say in their companies.

No, its the best way to burn money so no reason to stop it. But would like if people use it less.

Yes, But I am talking about slop in all the software I use, not just what I make. Every app is trying to do everything. Every place we have summarise button, some cobbled together AI gen features. Software continuously fails, and companies

You make it sound like brownie making is a scientific endeavour. I wouldn't think its hard but I guess I haven't made brownies in all conditions.

>I mean you are clearly equivocating AI with unemployment and scams, which I think is a very incomplete picture. What else, let me guess, slop in software, ai psychosis, environmental concerns, growing wealth inequality. And yes may be w

Yeah lets compare organising a desktop with planting potatoes. Tractors didn't need subscription, entire thing was owned by you. Automation in agriculture started the income inequality we still see today as Rich landowners didnt need t

At this point I think HN is flooded with wannabe founders who think this is "their" gold rush and any pushback against AI is against them personally, against their enterprise, against their code. This is exactly what happens on ev

What makes you think you couldn't have made brownies without LLMs. Go to google and just scroll 20cm and there it is, a recipe, the same one chatGPT gave you. I wont comment on rewriting an app, because LLMs can definitely do that.

About all of the good news, once you read a little bit more, are all due to traditional ML and all are in medical imagery field. Then OpenAI tries to take credit and say "Oh look AI is doing that too", which is not true. Go ahead

by falloutx 9mo ago
Why is that whenever there is a news about AI, its either a new scam or something vile. Like all this harm being done to environment, people's sanity and lives, just so companies can pay less to their employees. Great work.

We need to give AI agents full access to our computers so they can cure cancer, i don't know why thats hard to understand. \s
