Not sure where you got that from my comment.
Might want to Google Global Crossing. The internet survived, but most giant companies did not.
Doubt the race to the bottom is really good for consumers, unless you actually just want more stuff rather than better stuff. The bubble bursting is going to be pretty horrible financially for us all. The main thing it…
The post I was replying to was questioning why people are showing doubt here and I was offering up a theory in this specific case. It's not supposed to be helpful or combative, just a thought. I agree with most of what…
I didn't say it was made up (hence my comment that the reaction to it's potential was right), I said that OpenAI have used it as a marketing opportunity and muddied the waters in doing so, due to being a historically…
It feels like the problem in this specific case is that the security people have a link to OpenAI, who have a financial interest in this being as big as possible. PHP were right to make the warning so strict, and people…
But they don't question anything unclear in your demands, and so will often turn vagueness into mistakes. UML seems a very good way to express your needs without writing any code and avoiding that problem.
There are lots of mid-level development jobs that don't require full software engineering skills. Lots of web work falls under this - you can end up specialising on certain areas and still doing professional work…
If you ask an LLM to review your code, then it tends to write a lot of code for situations that will never happen. You choose the bits you need. It's actually pretty useful as a code reviewer. If you don't review the…
I'd rather see your reasoning.
AI research started in the 1950s, and has always led to AI winters as promising areas of research peak. I suspect they are stealing your data when you install the apps, but if these companies are acting legally and not…
Have the devs been financially rewarded for their speed or just given more work? Have the customers been charged less? If "you don't have to review" really is true then the economics are an even bigger nightmare. The…
Why so sure they will get better and not just plateau? They seem to be doubling in cost each time with less notable gains, the economics seem increasingly shaky, and potential problems with model collapse and context…
"Most people using it for work already pay API rates" Citation?
I'm thinking scbench.ai, and the fact that future token costs may become more prohibitive to just use it for everything. For me, the middle ground is review and keeping a mental model, not never using LLMs. The…
Isn't the core problem that everyone thinks they can now "code", and you have to justify the invisible bits, such as UX and maintenance.
Asking AI to review my code is actually pretty useful... but makes the process slower.
Even projects that you could have done without having to look anything up? In my experience, it seems to mostly save time on things you don't really know that well, whilst depriving you of the chance to learn new things.
That's not really my point... my point is that it's an unsettled debate between speed and caution, and devs are not unanimous on it, unlike the claim of the original post that seemed to think everyone was reporting the…
Don't think the 0.2% really are in agreement that "large, complex projects that used to take them weeks/months can now be completed by agents with a prompt". The divide seems to be between people who think you may need…
They usually have terms and conditions to make it YOUR FAULT if you publish something that has copyright, and they have paid loads of legal fees after-the-event for stolen books in their training data. It's never been…
Probably easy enough for Adobe to find a few potential things and still shut it down with the threat of lawfare, I'd have thought. They're very wealthy.
The direction is going to be mostly about money and legality, I'd have thought. This will certainly be a good test of the latter. Adobe are very wealthy, and presumably one of the enterprise customers AI companies want…
Would be interesting if you honestly documented as to if/when it starts breaking old things as you add new features. scbench.ai suggests this will happen on projects where the human is no longer in the loop, and it's a…
That's really sad.
