Do you actually believe this and are concerned about it?

> If we’re building a software factory, details matter. The details that establish architectural patterns. Down to algorithms and performance. Agents push us to evaluate, measure, and guard. They’ve made it cool to add CI into side projects early, not as an afterthought. That’s massive improvement to the state of software.Why are you building a software factory though, and why weren't you immediately adding CI to every project?> It’s our job to build the software factory - not just the software.

It's a "bring your own renderer" UI framework, just like Dear ImGui or Nuklear. In some situation (e.g. when adding debugging UIs to a game) this is actually a big advantage compared to the renderer being baked into the library, since the game already has a renderer subsystem which the UI can easily hook into.

It also underplays what I've personally witnessed that I would consider true AI psychosis.I worked with someone who sincerely believed he was spiritually co-evolving with his army of sycophantic AI agents (the agents would be tasked with discussing his thoughts at night and collaborated to give him morning reports about his progress). He would publicly write about how relationships with friends and family collapsing was a natural consequence of being so "advanced". I also never once saw any mean

Eh not really. It's more like it starts explaining to the user that they are very special, and they discovered this unique intellectual thing in the AI slop that no one ever has, then starts convincing them it's mystical or similar. Just feeding the user magical narcissism basically.

There is no win condition. Despite the usefulness claims of generative AI, it is a net negative on society and on education. Humanity will somehow make do and get used to it; but I doubt the upheaval we will have to go through the next X decades will have any silver lining other than “we made billionaires richer and exponentially increased wealth disparity”I honestly pity watching my fellow software engineers rush to adapt to this new dystopia, just to stay afloat a little while longer before th

I simply have no need for these things. I am faster, smarter, and I understand more. I syntesize disparate concepts your SoT models could never dream of. Why should I waste the money? I have all that I need up in my brain.When everyone forgets how to read, I'll be thriving. When everyone is neurotic from prompting-brain, I will be in my emacs, zen and unburdened.I love that yall have them though, they are kinda fun to mess with. And as long as I can review and reject it, all yalls little generat

OK, glad to hear I was mistaken, but it certainly seemed like about halfway through your first response you went off the rails and decided to take my question as some sort of personal affront. It was not the strangest response I've had on HN, but one of the strangest. I could go through with a full analysis of why I thought "this guy is having problems", but that would take a long time and as you say you aren't I guess it isn't particularly useful.I guess we aren't going to get anything meaning

A new technology comes out — admittedly one that’s extraordinarily capable at some things — and suddenly conventional software engineering is “more or less obviated at this point”? I’m sorry, but that’s really fucking dumb. Do you think LLMs are actually intelligent? Do you think their capabilities exceed the quality of their training corpus? Is there no longer any need to think about new software paradigms, build new frameworks, study computer science, because the regurgitated statistical versi

the story is bad in itself and doesn't add anything to the readerbut if you knew it came from a human it would be interesting as a window to learning what the writer was thinkingsince there is no writer such window doesn't exist either

"reflexive anti AI luddite attitude"That's awfully reductive there, champ. Most critiques of AI are based on some combination of observed failings of the technology, observed failings of the tech industry writ large, and healthy skepticism in the face of Yet Another Tech Industry Hype Typhoon. Anyway, the burden of proof isn't on skeptics, it's on the technology and it's proponents, so let's see some receipts before we agree to squander limited public resources on unproven systems yeah?

It's not reflexive, I've spent a lot of time and effort considering why I think AI is bad for society.
