Not sure about the others, but a Google Home device with Gemini enabled gives you basically short conversational LLM interactions. It can set timers and play music and all that, bu…

Lol. Is this The Onion? These frontier AI companies are labor market nuclear weapons. What kind of fucking mission statement is going to inspire people when they're responsible for…

There's no downside for you . You said it yourself - you have the knowledge and ability to know what to ignore and keep what makes sense, but that's because you spent years actuall…

Yeah, in my experience, the people that got into software engineering because of the money are absolutely thrilled with how LLMs are changing the industry. They mostly just liked g…

Not long until we have the first abortion capital punishment case when one of these death cult states tracks a lady across state lines...

Curious about the official YCombinator stance on this extremely unpopular YCombinator-backed startup (unpopular here at HN anyway).

Yeah, as Norm Macdonald put it: > “It says here in this history book that luckily, the good guys have won every single time. What are the odds?”

Ugh. It hurts my brain to think about the Venn diagram of privacy advocates and YC sycophants that hang out on Hacker News.

This is the new normal now that computer science based SWEs are being replaced with "LLM whisperers". Being 10 times more productive with AI necessarily means you're going to have …

Yeah, if I were him, I too would be thrilled with not having to review another AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we've already passed some sort of fiscal singularity where economic and political interests are so intertwined that there can only be growth. If there ever is…

Agreed. That said, when it does get grim, a few billion of net worth probably isn't as consoling as it used to be for the billionaires when the head of your security team has insta…

I still don't understand the economics of the full AI rollout. Who the hell is buying anything if more than 50% of the workforce is unemployed? And among the post-AI employable, ev…

I feel the same way about "prompt engineering" as I feel regarding the term "parkour" - you know, running and jumping on stuff. Are people really putting on their resumes that they…

I don't know man. This reads like "yeah we stole your grain, but making bread is hard ."

Boy I tell you, I am having an awful hard time summoning pity for the organizations that have themselves distilled all of humanity's knowledge into mysterious labor-market-masticat…

It's all bullshit. They have to ask because somebody is asking them how they're going to eke more productivity out of their underlings. It goes all the way to the top (the sharehol…

Sure, by "superficially superior code" I mean that LLMs, by design, produce code that has syntax and idioms that are perfectly in line with industry norms due to the vast training …

There some real game theory mechanics at play when it comes to LLM usage in corporations. Devs are cranking out superficially superior code and documentation by just aiming the Cla…

Yes! This is awful. CC should not have copy/paste behavior that is different from literally every other CLI app.

It is... as long as somebody else thinks so.
