I dread the day when ads inevitably make their way into the main AI models. One of the things its currently good at will be destroyed.

I'm confused by this need(?) desire(?) to polish things that are irrelevant.

I don't know how to square the same people saying we're living under a tyrannical government also pushing legislation that makes sure said tyrannical government is the only one with guns.

The real AI fatigue is the constant background irritation I have when interacting with LLMs.

"You're not imagining it" "You're not crazy" "You're absolutely right!" "Your right to push back on this" "Here's the no fluff, correct, non-reddit answer"

Somebody needs to explain to my lying eyes where these 100xers are hiding. They seem to live in comments on the internet, but I'm not seeing the teams around me increase their output by two orders of magnitude.

(or something like that. Obviously I'm too well adjusted to have these existential worries)

It was a bizarre disconnect having someone be both highly educated and yet crippled by not doing.

Consider my behavior changed. I thought the "high school math" was an encouraging way to sell it (i.e. "if you can get past the syntax and new way of thinking, the 'math' is ultimately straight forward"), but I can see your point, and how the perception would be poor when they hit that initial wall.

Now is a great time to dive in, though. LLMs take a lot of the syntactical pain out of the learning experience. Hallucinations are annoying, but you can formally prove they're wrong with the model checker ^_^

I think it's going to be a learn these tools or fall behind thing in the age of AI.

One of my favorite scenes:

Peggy: "You never say thank you!" Don: "That's what the money is for!"

It captures a lot of the mismatch in perspective between employer/employee boss/subordinate. You're there to do something for someone who is paying you to do it. That's as far as it goes (despite the constant human pull to perceive it as more).

It looks neat (once I found your docs)! Show what it is and what it solves in your README! The structural inheritance is slick.

Code review is one of the places where experience is transferred. It is disheartening to leave thoughtful comments and have them met with "I duno. I just had [AI] do it."

If all you do is 'review' the output of your prompting before cutting a CR, I'd prefer you just send the prompt.

For me, I can hop ship, decide I don't like it, boomerang back or take some time off no worse for the wear. That level of autonomy doesn't exist when you've got 60 days to land a job or uproot the life you've been building. Salary is a minor part of the picture. If changing jobs is a gamble that might end in "leave the country," the employer gets a certain kind of "loyalty" that salary cannot buy.
