    It’s also possible that in 24 months, I grow wings made of fish and get into anime style battles in the sky with hungry seagulls. Just as likely.

    Ah that AI hype train is still rolling I see. Funny they said the exact same thing 24 months ago.

    I have a feeling it’ll happen to us right around the same time Tesla self driving fully leaves beta.

    Good luck with that, idiots. You can’t automcomplete your way into knowing what you are doing because this shit isn’t deterministic or all that often correct.

    Hype bullshit desperate for buyers

      Yeah, the motivation here is “please panic-buy our GPUs/please panic-buy into our cloud GPU infrastructure ”

    Gpt4 is seriously idiotic with code. It’s only capable of some basic stuff. Anything mildly complex and it’ll keep bouncing back and forth between mistakes as I keep correcting it. It just can’t reason.

      I think they are just expecting that the upper management generates code using AI and the coders will try to fix it to get it to work.

        That’s similar to the concern of writers in Hollywood: studios will get AI to write some terrible script, then underpay writers to “edit” it.

    Read: Two guys with no AI expertise agree that its boosting of their share price should continue (real shocker).

    These news articles really love jerking these CEOs off

    That was a a fairly short article reporting on another article. The title gives the impression that the assertion was made with certainty when the actual quote makes it clear that this was meant as speculation, a calculated guess made on a conversation that was not meant to be public. I truly have no inclination to defend corporate leadership, but perhaps it would be more productive to direct our sentiments towards the article that is being quoted instead.

      Great point, but this part of the quote is still dumb as rocks:

      Coding is just kind of like the language that we talk to computers. It’s not necessarily the skill in and of itself. The skill in and of itself is like, how do I innovate? How do I go build something that’s interesting for my end users to use?

      Sure, if you have a big workforce hand-coding UI, you might replace some of them by better tools. But things like that are a fraction of a fraction of the responsibilities developers have
