Yeah, it’s insane. Along with that, any permanent gains in the morning will be lost as soon as it becomes normal. Businesses will just open that much earlier. And this study assumed bedtimes of 10pm, which is not the average anywhere on the planet from what I remember the last time I looked into this. The average is like past midnight.

How is this a counter point? Do you know that their kids don’t like playing in the grass?

Not really. There’s zero reason that a manufacturer wouldn’t just program it to wait several months before attempting to connect to open networks.

Huh? This is almost assuredly being used for botnets… that’s not a good thing.

> The question is not whether AI is useful. It is useful, full stop.

And nukes are useful by some metric too.

AI (llms) is not useful in any way that we as humanity should be pushing for. It’s more harmful than good in every way possible. It’s honestly astounding to me that everyone’s ethics are so weak as to believe that somehow these incredible destructive companies are somehow good for humanity.

I know that, but in doing so you prevent yourself from ever using Sign in with Apple

But that will completely break Sign in with Apple, which no service is ever going to do. I really don’t get the problem here.

But it’s not? Like if they block that subdomain, they will completely block Sign in with Apple.

Am I the only one that has noticed the massive increase in buggy software across almost every domain? Like, EVERYTHING has so many more bugs now. Things just break constantly. AI isn’t one shotting fixing bugs, it’s one shotting making hundreds of new ones every time it writes anything.

There’s zero chance you know if your code is robust, it’s barely had any time in production. Comment back in two years.

Something degrading because of lack of use is literally the definition of rotting. If you forgot how to multiply then yeah, calculators rotted your brain. If you never knew how to multiply then no. You clearly knew how to write code before and now you don’t. Rotting.

It’s pretty funny that you don't see the absurdity here. Yes, our physical fitness has dropped. Mostly from cars, much less from public transit.

> Should we no longer drive or take public transit anywhere

Yes? It’s bad for the environment and living closer to the things you do is better for everyone. But not only that, but this has absolutely nothing to do with being a skilled professional. Is walking or running your job?

Yeah there’s nuance to everything.

Wait, your final outlook on the situation isn’t that the LLM rotted your brain? Are you sure that this isn’t a case of “I refuse to believe I could have done the wrong thing for 8 months”?

Companies (and countries) learned a hundred years ago that everything you own, all your assets, are actually liabilities. The more you own the more difficult it is to run your business or country. This isn’t the age of industrialism in programming, or maybe it is and we’ll very quickly learn that you don't want to be generating code this quickly. It’s all a liability, not an asset.

they would get bugs on every invocation of the software, not on a new version of the AI. it's equivalent to your compiler have a RAND function in it where it chooses between a billion different options every time it compiles, it's absolutely not equivalent to a compiler having a bug.

weirdly made up scenario. I'm the person in the very first sentence. Tab-completing lines is still dog-shit. The majority of the time it has no clue what I'm going to write. Just because it can now write a lot more stuff doesn't mean it isn't still just as incorrect.

Also, you've set up a huge strawman here. Who are these people saying these things in this order and why is that the argument and not "You need to be reviewing every line of code that gets written and understand it."

Your argument is nonsense.

> The other change is simpler: I'm doing the design work myself, by hand, before any code gets written. Not a vague doc. Concrete interfaces, message types, ownership rules.

That’s the hard part of coding. If you have an architecture then writing the code is dead simple. If you aren’t writing the code you aren’t going to notice when you architected an API that allows nulls but then your database doesn’t. Or that it does allow that but you realize some other small issue you never accounted for.

I do not know how you can write this article and not realize the problem is the AI. Not that you let it architect, but that you weren’t paying attention to every single thing it does. It’s a glorified code generator. You need to be checking every thing it does.

The hard part of software engineering was never writing code. Junior devs know how to write code. The hard part is everything else.

Yeah this really breaks down when you put the logic up against ANY sort of compliance testing. Ok you don’t meet compliance, your agents have spent weeks on it and they’re just adding more bugs. Now what are you going to do? You have to go into the code yourself. Uh oh.
