While i dont disagree with the larger point here i do disagree that all the code we ever need has been written. There are still soooooo many new things to uncover in that domain.

Like what?

No, code is a way of communicating ideas, or more correctly information. All languages convey information. All languages convey ideas.

Did you read past the first sentence? The kind of information that a piece of code transmits is fundamentally different from that which is transmitted by a sentence or a song.

Yes, though I would take it in a different direction and say that LLMs are better at putting actual ideas into code. They've never gotten real feedback on how their literary metaphor feels, but they have gotten very direct feedback on whether code runs at all, and slightly more indirect feeds on whether it runs as part of the larger system.

So code that is written which plays music, yes people do live code music, doesnt count?

An elegant algorithm or intentionally inelegant one do not speak or communicate ideas? Please, keep hairsplitting.

Sir. You’re wrong and wrong on the internet. Two capital offenses. For shame.

You're being purposefully dense and I'm not going to engage with you.

No I am not but you came across in the last reply aggressive so i tried to lighten the mood a bit. This is the internet and people can disagree. It is fine.

I dont think you are reading my point at all and are instead getting worked up. If you disagree, fair.

I think a heavy argument needs to be made to say that code or programming languages do not carry ideas for me to change my mind on it. Id be happy to engage in good spirit but you seem pretty set in stone there.

This I think is pretty spot on. I still have to review the code ideally line by line. It is like templates, generators, etc. they help and do make things faster but 10x isnt gonna happen unless requirement gathering also 10x which so far, ai has had no impact on.

Family got first gen 360. Still works to this day. We hit the jackpot with that console. It out lasted 2 wiis and a ps2

Everyone here is so far from a normie it is almost painful. Dead internet is an outcome of supply and demand.

The fundamental issue is that a plurality of humans pref the direction things have gone and are moving in. Is it a good direction? By this crowd’s standards, no.

To be clear, i dont like either but when i watch the speed kids swap between 5 insta accounts and 3 reddit accounts, it seems the majority are happy with it.

Let’s not kid ourselves: Every day, multiple “I just asked the LLM to clean up my notes” posts are voted up to the front page here, often with highly engaged, appreciative comment sections.

LLM’s for all their faults are well-trained to produce what we want.

In saas this is not true. Most saas is highly profitable or was i suppose because they knew that most of their customers would never max out their plans.

Oof ima be the one to say it depends. This is personality based and the truth is a successful product has both. Even late on u want that person willing to break convention to find a new way of doing something. Early u need some seasoning in there too.

Destroyed? No. But a new sharif is gonna show up while the existing exit stage left with big bags of nuts.

I call this being ethically convenient. I think anthropic is playing to the crowd. This admin will be gone soon enough so no need dragging the brand into mud. Just need to hold out. They have enough money that walking away from the money isnt impressive. But pissing off the gov is pretty fun and far more interesting.

There is a name for it, feel good policies and cali is not unique.

People who dont understand the problem must pass a solution that makes people feel good. Clean needles, homeless hotels, etc. If they dont make things worse, that is a win.
