Sometimes it feels like a portion of the community views complexity as a badge of honour

Adding GUI tools adds complexity

Already exists. And you’re basically spreading misinformation.

No, but I’ve known people that have

I literally just learned what it is. I would have thought it was random pirate or metal shit

🤣

it’s trivial you’ve saved time, if not, you can pull up that documentation, and reason and step through the problem with the LLM

Insane that just writing the code isn’t even an option in your mind

“Stack overflow engineer” has been a derogatory forever lol

Did you think executives were smart? What’s really heartbreaking is how many engineers did. I even know some that are pretty good that tell me how much more productive they are and all about their crazy agent setups (from my perspective i don’t see any more productivity)

Isnt the premise of AI that you can do everything just with natural language, everybody already knows how to talk/write about what they want.

Yes but also “you have to start using AI now or you’ll get left behind”. You expect grifters to be consistent?

The supervisors did not have the expertise to know what the foreign workers were doing, otherwise there would not have had to be 2 workers in the first place. And the foreign workers were not just writing code - they were doing sysadmin. On DoD systems.

I don’t know how to make any more clear to you but it’s completely obvious to anyone that actually understands these things that this was terrible opsec, and obviously not how any reasonable person would expect a DoD contract to be managed.

I’m sorry but you just straight up don’t know what incident is being discussed here. Go look it up instead of talking about unrelated bullshit.

??? This is about giving chinese nationals root access to US military IT systems to save money. It’s actually terrible opsec and should be a way worse scandal.

No they’re not they’re talking purely at a technical level and you’re trying to apply mysticism to it.

He should be cowering in his bunker

Tf is an ad?

I don’t use one, and my coworkers that do use them are very loud about it, and worse at their jobs than they were a year ago.

I think a lot of people are going to struggle getting their head around the idea of voice being a reliable, primary input method when using a PC, but with agentic AI and the ability for the OS to understand user intent and natural language, it’s going to feel a lot more natural than you might think.

You’re damn right we’re going to struggle. I won’t believe it is reliable enough to be anything but infuriating until I see it.

Mainstream media. For instance when Dario Amodei says AI is going to replace x% of jobs by 2027 the media prints it and doesn’t ask why he thinks that or ask where the numbers come from. It’s wild speculation and it does not get treated as such.

They also mindlessly broadcast whatever lies the CEOs of the big tech company’s are telling. Do you complain about that pattern too? No? You just don’t like anything negative about AI? Interesting.

Let’s just pretend nothing after MySpace ever happened
