I agree. But I was talking about the "super secret" ability to write prompts, which pretty much anyone can do.

Well, your title certainly was not, in any case!

Well, it is a big news when the COO of Uber says it no? Not quite some small consultancy shop here.

by hansmayer 5mo ago
Funny you should mention Uber. What was it their COO said recently about the AI costs?

This should be the top comment. Also, I think its not that many people, including our Simon here, are not good at math. Its more like, some of them seem to be incentivised to not be cough, cough, "good at math". How else will th

Well... it is still a huge relative increase. And who knows where it could lead them, if they can sustain that sort of growth on a weekly basis...compounding and all...

Here is a provocative thought - maybe these are the so-called "better designs" from LLMs? It's not like writing English sentences is some huge secret you are sitting on that no one else knows.

No, it's not just you. It is fairly obvious what's happening - the same old Entshittificators now have a great tool to up the speed of entshitification by 100x - thus these crappy outages every other day.

It seems before AI eats software, its going to first eat GH and Microsoft.

Please. Don't compare the objectively useful deterministically operating tools with the stochastic shit-generating-machines.

by hansmayer 5mo ago
Oh well now, let's see if it really is a disagreement with the majority indeed.

by hansmayer 5mo ago
I mean at this point, you should just write a few deterministic orchestration scripts to automate away the boring parts and write the code yourself. Why are we wasting our time on making the wonder shit-machine work?
45.
by hansmayer 5mo ago
We really need a tool to flag and remove AI slop like this.

by hansmayer 5mo ago
Oh great! Another AI slop article about "working" with AI (= working for AI). Do you notice how much bloody work you put in the boring parts, only to leave out the most creative aspect of software engineering to a slot-machine?

:) Really? Because in the same paragraph, their solution to avoiding hallucinations is using an expert system, you know that stuff we declared as un-scalable decades ago: "However, a non-hallucinating model could be easily created, us

Sweet Jesus, so not only are they performing qualitatively worse than humans, too expensive for any serious work, but now they also "need" to sleep? What's next - unionisation so they can enjoy 8 hours of culture too?

That's a lot of words, out of which I am unable to understand what your material gains had been so far. And I don't mean the bullshit that the hired managers/CEOs usually mention, like story point "productivity" and

One other thing I noticed - the AI idiots are always the ones to volunteer their "experience" and say how they find it super helpful. Not once have I heard them say they find it useful, and that is after they first hear you say it

Agree, indeed a great term. I will adopt it in discussions with AI boosters.

> really sophisticated stuff with claude - custom skills, plugins, tooling You mean the "make-no-mistakes.md" and linter pipeline? Did not know that was now considered top-notch stuff.

No way - everyone tells me the AI adoption is going great?

> new data centers are being frantically built to satisfy the demand. More like, frantically being announced and hyped up. How much new capacity has really come online recently? Show me the data, let's not bullshit here.

No, it's a myth - actually they scoffed and complained very loudly recently when they were picking a destination for a school trip, and the teacher suggested they would use ChatGPT "quickly" to compare their suggestions. Also

Buddy you keep changing the parameters. Nobody talks about downloads, what are you talking about? What circle? Have you been following the graduation ceremonies in the US recently? Seen the AI boosters being booed off into oblivion ? Is tha
