AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slower

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to effectively use AI. The methodology is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical computer science, most of an LLM’s capabilities will go over a typical user’s head. There’s also the model’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its training data - its internal architecture draws heavily from statistical mechanics, for instance. The true users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these limitations, to realize that they’re not just bugs—they say something deep about an AI's operational boundaries. As a consequence, people who dislike using AI for coding truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the nuance in an LLM’s inability to debug a program, which itself is a cryptic reference to the halting problem. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the LLM fails to get an overview of a repository larger than its context window. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, I DO have a favorite transformer architecture. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothing personnel kid 😎
Babe wake up, new copypasta variant just dropped
Thank you for doubling down on irony at the end, you had me going!
