It means the current generation gets exposed to a lot of toxic content all in the name of driving advertising revenue. In the olden days you could get everything, but it wasn't forced down your throat, or rather your reels.

The remainder of the talent tends to struggle with some of the outsourced work, but with AI they can now give a semblance of competence.

In the UK a major retailer, Mark and Spencer got hacked after outsourcing work to India. They couldn't fulfill orders online for months, and they are now reducing the amount of work they outsource to India.

We will see something similar happen to other companies in a year or two, but until then we just have to tighten our belts and hope we don't get layed off before then.

He’s been with Meta for 11 years and is likely in a very comfortable financial position, given the substantial stock options he’s received over that time.

He also mentioned the arrival of a new child, and it’s well known that Meta's work-life balance isn’t always ideal.

On top of that, Meta, like many major tech companies, has been shifting its focus toward LLM-based AI, moving away from more traditional PyTorch use cases.

Considering all of this, it seems like a natural time for him to move on and pursue new, more exciting opportunities.

The real question is how much utter garbage it produced in those 30 hours without human supervision.

Perhaps you marker and sell a few, but it looks insecure and would be hard to refactor.

Looking at the code, there is a good chance this codebase is vulnerable to SQL injection.

- That didn’t happen.

- And if it did, I’m really sorry.

- And if it was that bad, I truly apologise.

- And if it is a big deal, I understand and I’m sorry again.

- And if it’s my fault, I’ll try to do better.

- And if I meant it… I didn’t — but I’m still sorry.

Three years ago, would you have hired me as a developer if I had told you I was going to copy and paste code from Stack Overflow and a variety of developer blogs, and glue it together in a spaghetti-style manner? And that I would comment out failing unit tests, as Stack Overflow can't be wrong?

LLMs will change Software Engineering, but not in the way that we are envisaging it right now, and not in the way companies like OpenAI want us to believe.

But yes, websites will now be filled with these low-quality recipes, and some might be outright dangerous. Cyanide custard should ring alarm bells, but using the wrong type of mushroom is equally dangerous and much more challenging to spot.

I would argue that it is getting very close to what people think autopilot can do. A car that, under certain circumstances, can drive for you and doesn't kill you if you don't pay constant attention.

Joking aside, this is likely where we will end up, just with a slightly higher programming interface, making developers more productive.
