Let’s see if we can’t cost them more.

Stop buying anything and everything from Starbucks

Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

I think that’s a well established worry at this point

This is incorrect. And I’m in the industry. In this specific field. Nobody in my industry, in my field, at my level, seriously considers this effective enough to replace their day to day coding beyond generating some boiler plate ELT/ETL type scripts that it is semi-effective at. It still contains multiple errors 9 times out of 10.

I cannot be more clear. The people who are claiming that this is possible are not tenured or effective coders, much less X10 devs in any capacity.

People who think it generates quality enough code to be effective are hobbyists, people who dabble with coding, who understand some rudimentary coding patterns/practices, but are not career devs, or not serious career devs.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, LLMs can get you close, some of the time. But there’s no way it generates anything close to quality enough code for me to use without the effort of rewriting, simplifying, and verifying.

Why would I want to voluntarily spend my day trying to decypher someone else’s code? I don’t need chatGPT to solve a coding problem. I can do it, and I will. My code will always be more readable to me than someone else’s. This is true by orders of magnitude for AI-code gen today.

So I don’t consider anyone that considers LLM code gen to be a viable path forward, as being a serious person in the engineering field.

They’re falling for a hype train then.

I work in the industry. With several thousand of my peers every day that also code. I lead a team of extremely talented, tenured engineers across the company to take on some of the most difficult challenges it can offer us. I’ve been coding and working in tech for over 25 years.

The people who say this are people who either do not understand how AI (LLMs in this case) work, or do not understand programming, or are easily plied by the hype train.

We’re so far off from this existing with the current tech, that it’s not worth seriously discussing.

There are scripts, snippets of code that vscode’s llm or VS2022’s llm plugin can help with/bring up. But 9 times out of 10 there’s multiple bugs in it.

If you’re doing anything semi-complex it’s a crapshoot if it gets close at all.

It’s not bad for generating psuedo-code, or templates, but it’s designed to generate code that looks right, not be right; and there’s a huge difference.

AI Genned code is exceedingly buggy, and if you don’t understand what it’s trying to do, it’s impossible to debug because what it generates is trash tier levels of code quality.

The tech may get there eventually, but there’s no way I trust it, or anyone I work with trusts it, or considers it a serious threat or even resource beyond the novelty.

It’s useful for non-engineers to get an idea of what they’re trying to do, but it can just as easily send them down a bad path.

Even so, he’s wrong. This is the kind of stupid thing someone without any first hand experience programming would say.

You could make the same argument to support anything anyone wanted. The Easter Bunny. Santa Clause. Et. al.

If you assert a thing without evidence, then it can always be dismissed without evidence.

But ultimately, it doesn’t matter what someone makes up or believes in, as long as they don’t use those beliefs to hurt or oppress other people.

He fulfills the fake requirements anyone else does, because it’s all made up.

It’s like that old saying: how do you Kill a vampire?

Your could use garlic, or wooden stake, or…

But, it doesn’t matter. You can use anything your want, because they’re not real. We made them up. Including the ways to kill them that fit the contemporary times.

This is by design. Once you become a wealthy slaveow…sorry, wealthy CEO, you never stop being one. The system will bail you out and give you endless opportunities to turn your money into more money.

Because that’s how we’ve built the system.

That’s because he installed his family and sycophants into the board at Tesla. They were literally put there to vote for whatever he wants. The shareholders approved the board appointees, and now they’re completely fucked unless someone calls for a full replacement of the board of executives at Tesla.

It’s his company, for better (unlikely) or worse (very likely).

Edit, for reference.

His brother is literally one of the board members.

These two groups deserve each other.

The ACA was intend to support single player health care.

She’s taking the Obama position which, it’s the politically savvy one, if they can get all the measures of the ACA through.

The ACA is what Canada did before transitioning to single payer. That had anyways been the goal of the ACA.

The issue is a lot of Americans are resistant to single payer. They think having only 1 choice is like communism or something.

Which is why the ACA had always been the first step. Obama had said as much, publicly.

Correct. The right is no longer a party of policy, it’s a party of hate. It’s always been there, but now, there’s nothing else left other than the hate.

And we know this because…?

You generally don’t want losses as a business. Even a startup. Ever. You want your revenue and expenses to be as close as possible,ESPECIALLY for the first few years.

Some insane Silicon Valley companies take VC money and operate at a massive, massive loss, banking on making that up with a spike in growth later. In most cases, it’s built into their business model that they’d be operating at a loss for X quarters.

That’s not what’s happening here. They’re operating at a huge, huge loss, and they have no realistic business prospects for how to close that gap, ever.

Additionally, the market leader in their space (Twitter/X), is making a hard right pivot and becoming a right wing platform/safehaven. This is further reducing an already thin market share they might have claimed.

Purely as a business investment, if I saw these numbers, in this market condition, I would pull my money immediately. Halt all further investment. Call a board meeting. Liquidate the company to try and pay off the debts, and any proceeds are returned to the shareholders.

I would, under no circumstances, continue to invest in a company like that, expecting any sort of return on my investment. I could only expect to lose whatever else I put in.

That’s not it at all. The issue is funding Mozilla. Having it as the default search engine is something google currently pays them for the right for. If the DOJ says that’s anti-trust practices, then Google stops paying Mozilla for that right, and 80% of Mozilla’s funding dries up overnight.

That’s exactly what this is

Advertisers don’t give a shit, but their customers do.

That’s not how criticism works. There needs to be something of substance for a critique to have merit.

This was just stereotyping someone based on their looks. You know, the thing we give the other side shit for doing with Harris. It’s not productive, not a good look, and outside of the internet it’s a great way to tell the people around you that you have nothing of value to add to a conversation or discussion.
