Man everyone says every article/blog post that is on HN is written by an LLM. Almost every single post.. I actually didn't get strong AI vibes from this one but maybe I just am bad…

The dude had claude copy a repo bug for bug. Where is the "taste" and "creativity" in that? > I fully support open-source, but I support way more the creativity and idea from indiv…

That makes sense, great answer thank you.

> But also, there still is a ton of programming that is fundamentally difficult. That's not going anywhere either. And LLMs are useful there too, but they're currently nowhere near…

You just discovered their business model congrats.

I think the issue is the people using it without doing the "think critically" part.

Why would it not matter? Maybe it doesn't matter to you that you have to spend your life doing brainless miserable work, but a lot of people don't like or want that. Just because "…

Yup this was super weird to me. There are other equally likely "world ending" things that they chose to ignore of nuclear, such as bio-weapons. Very strange list..

This is so interesting to me... Maybe it's because I grew up after (most of) the heavy anti-communist propaganda in the US, but the last thing I think of when I hear "communism" is…

I grew up playing diablo II and super smash bros (super nintendo before that!). While I don't have as much time for it these days, gaming couldn't be farther from dead, IMO. There …

Google is doing great... Record profits this year, not sure I'd call that a "revolution".

> git is reaching the end of its useful life Based on what exactly? I think that git is more useful than ever in this new "age of ai [slop]". Thankfully, something being old doesn'…

So you think it’s a potentially existential threat but are bothered by people who maybe want to suppress it… Hopefully you acknowledge there is a bit of lack of self awareness here…

What fields do you see devs think they know about? I’ve never personally seen this with other devs I work with but obviously small sample size…

Yea petting the bowl of noodles with your chopsticks is not normal behavior lol.

Unfortunately trillions of dollars have been invested to ensure that's not the case..

Hmm I might be completely missing something here (I’m not a machine learning person), but how is that “pro-active”? The mode is still taking in an input (or several inputs maybe in…

The llm runs in a loop until it meets a condition (the goal).

Fair enough, that makes sense

I agree with most of the 'llm's are bad' section. However, I find it extremely hard to believe that llm's will make peoples thoughts sharper and faster. There have already been sev…

I might be missing something but what exactly is being projected here? The US did what the author said. It's not farfetched to imagine geopolitical conflicts could, at some point, …

I mean there are ads in certain chatGPT plans. There have already been multiple studies showing that regular use of genAI makes you less intelligent... Additionally, it's pretty cl…

Someone could make the best agentic coding harness in the world and still have a hard time with the drastic changes that are happening in their profession. The two aren't mutually …

The entire country is watching companies like Anthropic, openAi, etc.. right now... A pull request and blog post is a big deal.

I don't think that's the point. The point is that if you outsource thinking to a machine, you will lose your ability to think and reason on your own, and overtime become a worse en…
