While we still have months to a year or two left, I will once again remind people that it's not too late to change our current trajectory. You are not "anti-progress" to not want this future we are building, as you are not &q

Don't worry – if you're lucky they might decide to redistribute some of their profits to you when you're unemployed =) Of course this assumes you're in the US, and that further AI advancements either lack the capabilitie

Cool on not publicly releasing it. I would assume they've also not connected it to the internet yet? If they have I guess humanity should just keep our collective fingers crossed that they haven't created a model quite capable of

The argument against this is that human coders are also non-deterministic, so does it really matter if it's a human or an AI agent producing the code – assuming the AI agent is capable of producing human-quality code or better? I agree

Hardly. Claude Code is basically just a wrapper around an LLM with a CLI. Obviously it does some fairly smart stuff under the hood, but it's not exactly comparable to a large software project. But to your point, that doesn't mean

Depends where they're coming from I guess. There's basically no where on Earth where people are as liberal as Europe. No liberal would want millions of people coming from Afghanistan, for example.

I think the fundamental problem is the conflict between climate, family and live-style vs corporate interest and economic growth. Ideally, we should want populations that are either not growing or slowly shrinking, but we can't have th

Code monkeys who spent 90%+ of their day typing code are probably 10x faster today because of AI. I'm not convinced most software developers ever spent the majority of their time coding though... A huge part of the job is taking messy

As someone who largely worked at startups and smaller companies before joining the NHS it genuinely confused me how no one would ever say no to anything when I first started working there. The projects I worked on were genuinely absurd... M

It's refreshing to to see something intentionally uncurated. I think "low quality" content has it's place. A lot of my favourite blogs back in the day could be considered "low quality", but for whatever reason

Agreed. The size of the repo isn't a limiting factor anymore. It's more about the type of change. Agents today can generate solid code even for relatively complex requirements. However, they don't always make the right trade-

Hasn't Germany and the UK been investing in renewables for years now? They must be feeling pretty happy about that decision right now unlike oil obsessed countries like the US.

People frequently misunderstand me for someone who is lacking emotions. I can't speak for Karp but I just experience and express them differently. He may be on the psychopathy spectrum. I don't know. But it wouldn't surprise

Unlike the other comments here, I think this is a very genuine reason to not give someone security clearance. This has nothing to do with ideology, but does question whether someone is likely to act in way that serves national interests. Wh
