If you produced 1 line of code per hour before "AI" because you suck, and now produce 100 lines of code per hour with AI, you are now a 100x programmer. I'm joking of course, but that's probably how some people see it.

It's already like that, for a long time. Humans are quite capable of creating complex systems that become unwieldy the bigger they get. No one person can understand all of it. I will offer the AT&T billing system as an example that

You made the analogy worse. It's nonsense. The original analogy is far better.

Same as it was for "blockchain" and NFTs. Tech "enthusiasts" can be quite annoying, until whatever they hype is yesterday's fad. Then they jump on the next big thing. Rinse, repeat.

It probably depends on the developer, and how much slop/bugs is willing to be tolerated.

>look where they are now. Still with a small market share. They only figured out how to extort the maximum amount of money from a smaller user base, and app developers, really anyone they can.

The scapegoating is different. Using an LLM makes them more culpable for the failure, because they should have known better than to use a tech that is well known to systematically lie.

It sounds like a step sideways, not a step up. LLMs are akin to a Ouija board.

Lol, I guess I'm glad I checked-out from reddit before the whole "AI" thing took off. My life is honestly way better without reddit. HN isn't far behind though, honestly. The less time I spend here, the better for everyt

More like they don't know the things others do. Siri is a laughing stock.

Yeah, Putin is probably the worst billionaire. Elon might be a close second though, or maybe it's a US politician if they actually are a billionaire.

Funny that they can't just get the "AI" to fix it.

Yeah, you don't really understand what "Linux" is. It isn't one thing, you can't force anything into "Linux" because there are so many distros to choose from. With Windows that isn't possible - there&

I believe he'd be doing that regardless of the DOJ suit. Tariffs are another issue he is dealing with. Apple likes money, and will do practically anything to secure more of it.

https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/media/1344546/dl?inline Apple is already getting sued by the DOJ for their abusive business practices. They should be regulated.

Apple also includes a web browser on iOS, but forces every other browser you can install to use their browser engine. It's one of the many reasons they are being sued by the DOJ for anti-competitive practices. Apple also sits on a boar

If the Democrats didn't allow SCOTUS to become corrupted by the fascist right-wing, we wouldn't be in this situation. RBG refused to retire and died while Trump was president. That gave them one seat. Obama could have McConnel ref

They want to declare "Antifa" a terrorist organization. So anyone that is against fascism (ANTI-FAscist) will be labeled a terrorist. Let that sink in for a moment. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions&#
