      A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You’ll be glad you got in on the ground floor…

      We do need a little more time, though. And money.

        Also, water. We’ll take all of that please, just pipe it right over to our spot in the desert. We’ll need some more money with that, of course.

          Everyone complains about water consumption, energy use, and pollution of the ai yet fail to compare the use to its human counterparts

            Turning off AI data centers will instantly save water and energy and reduce pollution.

            But the “human counterparts” will still eat and shower if you fire them.

            So unless you are planning to murder all the unemployed people, your argument makes no sense at all.

            Ah, just kill half the humans. That will make water consumption go way down. Follow me for more resource-saving tips

            If you want me to list the myriad ways that I want humanity to use less water, I can. This just happens to be top of the list because it has no fucking value at all and is expected to use even more than the others.

            I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here, other than you use chatgpt and want to stan for it. Ask it to compare the water use to human counterparts, whatever you mean by that. Or really, don’t because the water that would waste is certainly not worth it.

    I’m pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren’t in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It’s great.

    It’s the AI that is prone to delusions, or was that just me?

    I won’t be surprised if AI ends up so expensive that they will cost more than actual developers. But as experience has shown, C-Suites prefer expensive and bloated tech than providing developers autonomy, good salaries and good career plans. They see us just as rebellious cogs in the machine.

    God, I’m so sick of coding. Please. Bring it.

    As of right now though? 5-6 years fie the basics

        I’m not a coder, but my job requires a bunch of menial, boring coding. I do numerical simulations. After mathematically understanding the numerical method, it’s basically half a step above data entry. There’s also a bunch of legacy fortran code I have to build on that has zero documentation and three letter variables. This would be one of the few actually good applications of text generating machine learning imo.

        This is another fine example of where assumptions get you no where on the internet. My job isn’t coding but it requires knowing to do it well. If I exit the job market, as per your request, I cannot be replaced by a coder. Believe it or not, most jobs that require a coding skillset are not about coding. Crazy, right? 😲

          “assumptions”? Maybe consider how “I’m so sick of coding” implies you’re doing coding? I’m so sick of driving, oh no somebody ‘assumed’ I’m a driver instead of a mechanic. Believe it or not, most people ‘assume’ something when you use sentences that imply it. CrAZy, riGhT? 😲

            They said they are doing some coding at their non-coding job. It would be good if AI could replace amateur programmers, it would make better code and take a load off the workers

              Not in the first comment, and I replayed to the second one only because they were acting like a stereotypical obnoxious redditor. As for LMM use, sure it could replace them, just give it a little more time and more money and a bit more money and some more money and also enough data server centres to suck dry entire lakes

      Well, it won’t come if everybody keeps pushing all the money in the world¹ into LLMs.

      1 - Almost literally.
