I'm not seeing that either. I rather thought of white collar work being devalued rather than disappearing. By "end of white collar dream" I meant that you won't be making good money with it, because it would be commoditi

How is that, I don't get it? > Gross Domestic Product (GDP) includes consumer spending, government spending, net exports, and total investments. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gdp.asp

> The government sector doesn't produce virtually anything that counts toward GDP, This sounds very wrong?

That's if AI goes full singularity. Barring this scenario, it might be the end of while collar dream and social mobility in general, but not nessarily the catastrophic "nobody buys anything" change

Yes, but also a lot of work in software is solving solved problems. It would be nice if we could apply AI just to that, but all humanity's previous experience with digital technology tells me that we won't

Yeah, the whole purpose of taking notes is being present in the conversation. Notes themselves are a nice byproduct.

Youtube has recently recommended me a video of Feynman allegedly explaining why we couldn't go to Mars and back. I am normally on Youtube for something specific and don't follow recommendations, but hey, it's Feynman and I ha

LLMs learned rhetorical negation from humans. Some humans continue to use it, because it genuinely makes sense at times.

Should I be sad or rather relieved that grifters will be able to grift without my help? I would just accept the reality and reeducate myself to some other field where hard engineering is still required, but I'm afraid AI will advance f

I am moderately anti-AI, but I don't understand the purpose of feeding them trick questions and watching them fail. Looks like the "gullibility" might be a feature - as it is supposed to be helpful to a user who genuinely wan

I'm not in a position to tell marginalized people how they should feel, but a moderation policy that wouldn't even allow offensive messages by new accounts appear for a short time would make this place into another social media -

I'd agree with this logic if we were discussing all kinds of different topics here, and one's stance on gender would be immediately visible to anyone. But I can't remember the last time the matters of gender were discussed he

This is a wild take. HN has transphobic users like it has trans and ally users. It's neutral to this topic, it's about tech.

> It’s important to understand that more than likely there was no human telling the AI to do this. I wonder why he thinks it is the likely case. To me it looks more like a human was closely driving it.

Generated code is not a new thing. It's the first time we are expected (by some) to treat code generators as humans though. Imagine if you built a bot that would crawl github, run a linter and create PRs on random repos for the changes

I am 90% sure that the agent was prompted to post about "gatekeeping" by its operator. LLMs are generally capable to argue for either boundaries or lack of thereof depending on the prompt

Moderation is needed exactly because it's not a walled garden, but an open community. We need rules to protect communities.

There is a common agreement in the open source community that unsolicited contributions from humans are expected and desireable if made in good faith. Letting your agent loose on github is neither good faith nor LLM assisted programming, it

Bot is not a person. Someone, who is a person, has decided to run an unsolicited experiment on other people's repos. OR Someone just pretends to do that for attention. In either case a ban is justied.

I am not against AI-related posts in general (just wish there were fewer of them), but this whole openclaw madness has to go. There is nothing technical about it, and absolutely no way to verify if any of that is true.

What about working population? Did it grow? I thought much of a slow population growth is due to lower immigration, not declining birth rates?

US population has also barely grown so that us fine?

I agree with you, but it's very hard to argue the same in an interview, even with other engineers (that's if you get the interview). There are companies that are willing to consider general aptitude and transferable skills when hi

I don't think it's about power. I feel more empowered as an engineer than I would as an engineering manager. As an engineer I have the power over all the intricate details of how systems work. As an engineering manager if I am luc

Software quality has been degrading for decades without LLMs though. I only have anecdotal evidence from some engineers I know that they don't write software by hand any more. Provided the software they are working on was useful before

All software engineers become pretty much the same in this world though. Anyone can sit in the meetings.
