But that would mean they would have do a lot more work in the same amount of time.

So where does your responsibility of this code end ? Do you just push to repo, merge and that's it or do you also deploy, monitor and maintain the production systems? Who handles outages on saturday night, is it you or someone else ?

Of course it doesn't matter indeed. What I was hinting at is if you forget all the times the LLM was wrong and just remember that one time it was right it makes it seem much more magical than it actually might be.

Also how were the data races significant if nobody noticed them for a decade ? Were you all just coming to work and being like "jeez I dont know why this keeps happening" until the LLM found them for you?

> And I've seen Claude identify data races that have sat in our code base for nearly a decade

how do you know that claude isn't just a very fast monkey with a very fast typewriter that throws things at you until one of them is true ?

First OpenAI video I've ever seen, the people in it all seem incompetent for some reason, like a grotesque version of apple employees from temu or something.

reportgunner — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 11:06:07 +0000

Any old laptop (especially thinkpad) can run linux well. If you want to use it it's not "trouble" per se because once you really know what you are doing there is no trouble(and you can't get to knowing what you're doing without finding out what is it you did that caused you the trouble).

If you just want to use linux so you can tell someone about it, don't bother using linux and stick to what works for you.

It's just one of those consequences of "I don't care about the specifics just put it in production" that ends up in "why didn't you tell me that I completely misunderstood"

Their target demographic was already born into the matrix and they don't even know it's there; it will hardly be a problem for them.

I feel like you are jumping to conclusions here, I wasn't talking about the achievement or the AI, I was talking about the article and the way it explains finding diamonds in minecraft to people who don't know how to find diamonds in minecraft.

Article makes it seem like finding diamonds is some kind of super complicated logical puzzle. In reality the hardest part is knowing where to look for them and what tool you need to mine them without losing them once you find them. This was given to the AI by having it watch a video that explains it.

If you watch a guide on how to find diamonds it's really just a matter of getting an iron pickaxe, digging to the right depth and strip mining until you find some.

I am not american nor I live in america so I don't really have a horse in this race, but the DOGE approach seems to be the classic "move fast and break things" approach. The reactions to it are the classic reactions to that approach, competent people speak out to get broken things fixed and others are confused about what is happening.
