Eventually you get to a point where the AI simply doesn’t know how to do something correctly. It can’t fix a certain bug, or implement a feature correctly. At this point you are left trying to do more and more prompt crafting… or you can ju

When 90% of people are toiling in fields, there won’t be as many complaints I’d think because there would be a lot more equality among the 90%, vs the 50/50 split that we have today.

Even in a world of perfect AI, there will be plenty of jobs. Anything involving movement and manipulation of matter will still require humans for the time being. We’re not at a point yet where an intelligent an AI could simply build you a h

I think my point is people should just be quiet about things they know nothing about. 10% of tech is consumer tech and the other 90% of tech is the things that run daily life that people know nothing about. Think machine to machine communic

My advice: if you take 3 hours just to set up a virtual environment for our take home test, save yourself the embarrassment and cancel your interview.

That’s fine, aside from being a source to extract money from, consumers don’t matter. They have no choice but to use whatever we build. We’re not talking about shitty apps, we’re talking about everything else they take for granted and is de

You’ve basically described one segment of the tech industry and assumed all tech is like that. You’re talking about consumer tech. There is a wide range of tech that has nothing to do with consumers or anything social: manufacturing, medica

Your problems in life come from computers because your life is computers. If your life was cars you would soon find most of your problems in life come from cars.

Look at the bright side, suppose all that comes to pass and all creative digital content is produced by machines. Machines still don’t have a good way to build physical things in the real world, so human skills will focus on physical things

What software do people envision themselves creating with these AI slaves? More shitty CRUD apps? Which get easier and easier to pump out everyday with the growing numbers of frameworks, libraries, copying and pasting snippets from stack ov

To do the work of an intern an AI must go on Jira, read a ticket, then find the appropriate repositories where code needs to be modified, write tests for its modification, submit for code review, respond to feedback in code review, deploy i

In the year 2063 42k is probably more like $20k today. Just straight poverty.

AI proponents are missing the point. Anything you write to make an AI produce something is basically code. Docs are code. You don’t have to feed a developer code or docs, you can give them a high level idea and they’ll figure it out on th

In New York City you should be making at least $150k to $200k for a decent life IMO. If that’s not you there’s no point living there, but you can certainly commute there to work the menial jobs if you’d like. Inevitably someone has to do th

Spare me the shitty analogies. We write shell scripts because it’s cheap, fast, and the behavior is very predictable. Like it or not, an AI’s behavior is a black box and can’t be “proven” to execute exactly the same every time for the scena

The prompt is simply to write an ORM library.

Could it write an ORM library?

Is there a way to just provide the hardware for your machines somewhere and have someone else manage everything else?

Amish have self driving vehicles, while we still struggle to develop anything close to that kind of tech.

Except you really shouldn’t be wiping your ass. It’s a barbaric practice best left to emergencies or outdoor hiking or something. The use of a bidet is the only civilized way.

If I had the money, I would love to build a public library of nothing but unpublished works, printed and bound in books, where every book you pull from a shelf is something that was never widely circulated, from authors you never heard of.

Not sure what you’re proposing. Y Combinator was started for a different era, those days aren’t coming back until there’s a new greenfield catalyst for some engineers to build on, where simple implementation of some new tech can birth huge

It’s because “ramen profitable” is for losers now: Small bootstrap operations with uninteresting tech trying to not starve. The days of dorm room wunderkids are over. You don’t build a company like Facebook anymore with one guy and a websit
