Because they have the power to insert themselves in places like these. It's a bigger problem. There are places in which companies with Microslop's level of quality have no business to be, but they're already there.
> After about 3-4k lines of code I completely lost track of what is going on, and I woudn't consider this code that I have written, but adding more and more tests felt "nice", or at least reassuring.
> There was a some gaslighting, particularly when it misunderstood dap_read_mem32 thinking it is reading from ram and not MEM-AP TAR/DRW/RDBUFF protocol, which lead to incredible amount of nonsense.
> Overall I would say it was a horrible experience, even though it took 10 hours to write close to 10000 lines of code, I don't consider this my project, and I have no sense of acomplishment or growth.
Ah yes, we can now mass produce faulty code, we feel even more alienated from our work, the sense of achievement gets taken away, no ownership, barely any skill growth. Wonderful technology. What a time to bring value to the shareholders!
> I know that AI will make it possible for others to do so, even if they drop the ball.
Seems you completely miss the point of Miyazaki's work. You can watch a video of Miyazaki watching an AI generated animation and see what he think about generative "art"[1].
I get being optimistic but there’s a lot of ethical considerations that we’re choosing to ignore. The result is techno feudalism.
Sure AI can help me with small things but it’s weird to be the guy preaching the gospel. In the end this is a product, sold by people who have more power than a single person ever had. They can do the marketing and hype, my interest lies in staying skeptical, especially in the incoming storm of AI generated misinformation or wave of students getting through university by cheating with AI.
I guess it depends. Podcasts are often about story telling and story telling isn't about being information dense. Podcasts are hamburgers, which might be a good vehicle to deliver a piece of a vegetable into your body.
I think the most important part is that if you're bad at articulating your ideas, AI tools will keep you in that place. You've basically given up on improving and you choose to be represented by the AI's level in the future.
> Even if you do all this and still get fired, it's not about your skills. It's just how things work sometimes. But if you've built up AI skills, side projects, and a deep understanding of your industry, you're in a strong position to start something of your own—freelancing, consulting, or even launching a startup.
"just how things work sometimes" - very insightful. Fired? Then you're in a great position to launch a startup!
