AI hype is still a million miles ahead and a million times dumber, especially thanks to online astroturfing.

Add it to the list: - the downfall of junior devs - bad hiring market - layoffs in practically every sector theres a ton of things where AI took credit for a trend that had already started before it started being even halfway capable.

90% of the time when I call a call center I need a human to fix an organisational bug - e.g. faulty billing or some other kind of mixup. AI cannot help with this. If it's to do something normal you could do through the website there wa

I don't rememeber that sentiment being expressed much in the past about programming. I do notice a lot more bugs these days, a lot more slop code and a lot more complaints about slop code.

If there is a large war, those countries will prioritize domestic consumption and the UK will immediately stop being able to produce weapons. Domestic steel production is an essential element of being sovereign, as opposed to being the hand

The productivity depends upon the requirements. If slop is fine (and sometimes it is), the benefits are undeniable. If the dev was the kind that would have produced slop anyway - again, undeniable boost. If the quality needs to be high I th

Neither does nuclear power. This is why when half of the French nuclear power plants were down for unscheduled maintenance in 2022 they had to import German solar and wind energy and burn a ton of gas. Gas, batteries, grid interconnects and

It started with a group of terrorist snipers in the Hotel Ukraina who fired randomly into a crowd of civilians. None of them were ever prosecuted. The attempt to pin it on the Berkut failed miserably. One of them was identified by a Ukrain

Just 6.5% of German electricity was generated through coal last year. By contrast Poland was ~90% for years and only just slipped below 50%. If I had to guess why Poland never got any criticism for that while Germany was routinely pillori

it's not that either. it's the total value of all transactions. if you paint a masterpiece worth millions and keep it in your closet it has negligible impact on GDP. only once it is sold does it have an effect.

I find it amusing that back when solar and wind were niche and expensive the coal + oil lobby would lobby for "let the free market decide what to build". When solar + wind plunged in price they stopped saying it. Now that the mark

Yeah, the more I hear about people writing "boilerplate" or "copy pasting" code faster using LLMs the more I think it's mainly a tool for letting you write brittle, buggy code, faster.
