You don't know what AI means

by someguynamedq 1mo ago
You're just bad at using LLMs

It's actually a valid extension of your metaphor that introduces nuance that substantially weakens your point

No, it's like ordering a meal from door dash and saying "I got food." Using a tool does not mean you didn't do the thing you used the tool to do. You're conflating "I made X" with "I personally did ev

Using LLMs to write code is only boring if you're only trying to make the same boring things you were capable of doing when writing it by hand.

Then why wouldn't you build it with AI?
68.
by someguynamedq 1mo ago
The problem is that you're not putting as much effort into building things with AI as you were by hand. If you were, it would still be satisfying

What are you trying to say? There are a ton of people who care more about being able to make something they're imagining real than engaging in the process necessary to make it happen. This applies to food just as well as it does to sof

by someguynamedq 1mo ago
Bad example. This is analogous to people prompting an LLM to "generate code for the sake of it" which of course nobody is doing.

No you're just drawing a new arbitrary distinction
72.
by someguynamedq 1mo ago
Completely arbitrary distinction. Effort is not more valuable than the results of the effort. This is a mindset that will keep you trapped.

Why do you care? If it's bad people won't buy it. If people buy it, it's only bad to you

You're creating illusory boundaries to protect your ego. AI is not a supernatural category. It's just another thing. It can serve as inspiration the way anything else can. You are not the arbiter of value in art, as much as you tr

Then you're really really bad at using it. At the very least it is functional with minimal effort on codebases with 10s of thounsand

Why do so many people miss that it lets software engineers build more bigger better things? It's not just people who think the job is to create value. It's anyone who cares more about creation itself than the process of the creati

Nobody is hired for a job if the person hiring does not think they will produce value

Implying llms are brute force?

Why do side projects only count if you take 20x as long to do them by not using modern tools?
81.
by someguynamedq 1mo ago
No, HN was never this product. You were just more on board with previous trends and for some reason you're not on board with AI
82.

There's no way you think this is comparable to blockchain?
83.
by someguynamedq 1mo ago
Do you genuinely think the current AI developments are only on the same tier as blockchain?

Sounds like their head is in the sand

LLMs replace doctors, not nurses

The options are technology-will-save-us or everyone-spontaneously-does-the-right-thing-despite-not-wanting-to-do-it-and-in-many-cases-having-perverse-incentives. If the second one worked, everyone would be vegan, there would be world peace,

It already de facto has been. Have you seen LLMs?

Being in a career that is scoopable by a dev with no special expertise running an agent is career ending

The minimum IQ necessary to swerve and kill a pedestrian is very low. Yet people don't do it :shrug:. It's almost like people don't want to destroy the world
