I don't think that was their vibes.
From article:
My take:
The role of the programmer is ultimately to solve the problems. There are many ways to skin the cat. The better solutions comes from the better programmers.
Bosses under capitalism have less understanding of the pros/cons of a particular solution. Hence they will often use their decision making powers to choose the quick solution rather than the best.
I mean that's been the case all along, that's why most software is janky. The problem isn't technology itself, it's capitalist relations and the way technology ends up being applied as a result.
There are bugs in every system. AI will just create different types of bugs. It's the nature of technology.
The hype money being thrown at AI is making the F35 of software out of this shit though. Big Tech accumulated so much cash and had nothing to throw it at after VR didn't take off.
Then we get Skynet.
AI is just a tool, and what bugs end up in software is solely dependent on the person using the tool.
