Although LLMs are an unreliable shitshow, capitalists are so thirsty to eliminate jobs they will push onward with it regardless
Fine. Let’s see how that will turn out 🤷♂️
They are rapidly improving, at work over the last year they have gone from a huge burden to producing better results faster than most devs. The bottleneck for development is rapidly becoming human review and not human development. The next few years will be scary if the funding does not disappear
They’re not actually improving. Following predictions made by OpenAI and Deepmind in 2020 and 2022 research papers on AI Scaling Laws, they hit a ceiling for accuracy as training data and power consumption approach infinity. The papers correctly predicted accuracy and costs of current models.
Now that they’ve run out of most sources of training data, it gets more and more difficult to filter out AI generated data which will pollute the models and lead to worse accuracy.
The models are actually getting worse.
OpenAI announced recently that it’s about to go bankrupt. Microsoft publicly stated it has to do something useful with AI or they will lose trust from both people and government agencies.
A lot of companies are reporting that adoption of AI has either brought no returns or actually cost them more.
The models are actually getting worse.
Trust me bro
And absolutely no one will do anything about it, because the “progress” must continue
please… CEOs are already aware AI has been a waste of time and any job lost to AI is by definition a bullshit job.
Idk, I wouldn’t consider entry level software jobs bullshit but those jobs are disappearing quickly with AI. Like the stuff I was doing on my first job could easily be done with AI now with similar review and oversight from a senior dev, and I wouldn’t say that job was a bullshit job
Who wants a junior that doesn’t learn? If you tell the Ai to fix something today it’s not going to remember that fix tomorrow or next year therefore wasting your time constantly fixing their fuckups. A junior actually learns how to do things and retains that information.
I wish CEOs were all that smart.
As is tradition…
