AI doomer.

Seems like this guy has a financial incentive to believe the thesis of his piece because he worked on a tool that replaces* programmers. Still worth considering the veracity though.

Where I can use these self-programming life-changing systems?

I'd like to see a RJ-45->full OS That supports any hardware you're able plug into it, in a newly designed OS with a newly designed HLL, demo before we start talking about replacing programmers.

A lot of LinkedIn content in the last days.

If only AI was not completely and utterly useless for any unique problems for which there isn't extreme amounts of available training data. You know, something any competent programmer knows and has already known for years. And these problems end up being involved in basically every single non-trivial application and after not very long into development on those applications. If only AI didn't very readily and aggressively lead you down very bad rabbit holes when it makes large changes or implementations even on code-bases for which there is ample training data, because that's just the nature of how it works. It doesn't fact check itself, it doesn't compare different approaches, it doesn't actually summarize and effectively utilize the "wisdom of the crowd", it just makes stuff up. It makes up whatever looks the most correct based on its training data, with some randomness added. Turns out that's seriously unhelpful in important ways for large projects with lots of different technical and architectural decisions that have to make tradeoffs and pick a specific road among multiple over and over again.

Really sick and tired of these AI grifters. The bubble needs to pop already so these scammers can go bankrupt and we can get back to a rational market again.
