When it comes to cost per implemeting SPEC, agents are far cheaper than human salary. So, it's not going to go well.
That said thankfully there's no way of measuring a good SPEC yet. If there is that will collapse the SWEs profession.

#12If you create a machine for laziness you're going to get lazy people. It's only going to get worse I'm afraid. Do you guys think we're going to see a de-evolution of human beings due to technology?
I didn't expect wall-e to become so close to current reality
Re: Don't be a meat proxy
#13I deal with this all day long at work and it’s exhausting. People almost acting like no one has thought of it “I asked Claude what happened, and it spit out this 300 line response. Can you read it for me and see if it’s right?” What kills me is you might expect this from a busy high level manager that doesn’t really understand the technical details and they just point the AI to an error they got. They don’t know how…
Had a senior exec pick up his phone, punch some words into AI, then as-it-was-generating-a-response flip it around and put it in front of me.
This shit has progressed well past seriousness and into the absurd

We're already seeing it.

it's already happening. IQ is already stagnating or even going down
Re: Don't be a meat proxy
#16In my life, the bigger issue are people who are not asking Claude, but asking me. Because it would take 15 minutes to find out the answer myself, and 3 minutes to let Claude find it, I ask Claude. So how should I answer? Should I disclose that I used Claude to find the answer? Or should I act like I did it myself, appearing to have super-powers that I don't possess?
>So how should I answer?
Like a human, not like a robot. Either just present them the answer or explain them how you got it.

i’m not doubting this, but do you know if there are any studies on this already?

#19Why are LLMs producing this super tense text more often now? Is it because they are being optimized to use fewer tokens?
ChatGPT is still plenty verbose by default IMX.

#20I append "sound kinda dumb but be factually correct" to my Claude requests and get much less jargony responses.
