I'm hoping to exit the industry (eg., retire) as soon as is practical. It's just not fun any more and this was the shit-icing on the cake for me.

Now, LLMs being used to check for vulnerabilities... that I'm not really against, machine-learning is good at pattern recognition and it seems to be legitimately useful at that from what I've heard.

But as 'intelligence' or a trustworthy search mechanism for retrieving and re-synthesizing (note I did not use the words 'authoring' or 'creating') anything more than simple standalone functions? Nope, nope nope. Too many hallucinations and I didn't fall in love with programming and computer science only to end up being a reverse centaur, slaving away at prompts to actively steer a stochastic slot-machine into writing the proper code for a task.

I think it's one of the worst things that happened to humanity.

Even if you somehow want to convince yourself that the social and technological damage it causes are not so bad, the environmental impact is just the last nail on the coffin of humanity.

We'll all die for shitty chatbots.

Try to resist a little bit more. The second AI winter is months away from now.

Same here. I'm looking at all my other hobbies and trying to see which one would be the best... Unfortunately I doubt I could get anywhere near the same salary unless I find a way to start my own successful business out of one of them. That sounds just as stressful though lol

oh yea, not only that , conventions centers are mostly peddling AI TECH startups right now to stave off the bubble burst. i wonder how many tech employees going to these know AI is total BS, or to make thier bosses happy under the threat of getting a future layoff.

I was trying to think of the same thing and came up blank.

Time to update the price list if AI touched it?

Ohh, I would be glad. We would finally see how fragile the internet really is and hopefully it will spawn a better internet

Don’t worry the Chinese economy has been groomed to take over. They already make all of our shit anyway, And we’ve trained all their scientist and engineers and our western education so they have all the knowledge that we have already.

skynet achieved self-awareness, and AI. LLM arnt even close. let alone these ceos want Cylons too.
