Traditionally called something like entity and attachments.

His work is available with a permissible license on the Internet but somehow it doesn't seem right that a tool will just regurgitate someone else's work without any mention of copyright or license or original authorship.

Pre-LLM world one would at least have had to search for this information, find the site, understand the license and acknowledge who the author is. Post LLM the tool will just blatantly plagiarize someone else work which you can then sign off on as your own. Disgusting.

That being said being slow or fast is kinda moot point if the program is not correct. So my advisor to leave always all asserts in. Offensive programming.

For a new engine to take on it needs do something else nobody else is doing so that it's got that elusive USP.

Getting visibility, SEO hacking etc is more important than the product itself.

Well OF COURSE you just prompt Claude... /s

No seriously why would you need a graphics engine for procedurally generating content? In this particular case for example his "content" is the world map expressed in some units (tile grid) across two axis. Then you generation algorithm produces that 2d data and that's that.

I expect these tools will quickly let people to ramp up several orders of magnitude of more complexity and lines of code to any software project.

The your 100kloc JS electron app will become a 10m loc JS electron app running on a 500m loc browser runtime.

Repeat this across the stack for every software component and application and library. If you think things are bloated now just wait a few years and your notepad will be a 1m line behemoth with runtime performance of a glacier.

* We're going to keep shoving AI and copilot in your face in every corner of the system whether you want it or not. It's what we want after all. Please subscribe to copilot now or 3 days later.

* We're going to continue vibe coding core system components and interface elements in JavaScript to minimize our developer costs. Just get over it already.

If you think any programming task at hand one must have at least some reasonable grasp of formalism, boolean logic, predicate logic, then understanding the software developing concepts, your APIs frameworks, language constructs etc and finally the domain knowledge.Most of this goes away when changing from coding to prompting.

I was just doing some computer graphics work myself doing Signed Distance Fields and Claude just literally regurgitated code that I could just adopt (since it works) without understanding any of the math involved.

I'd say that prompting is at least two orders of magnitude easier than coding.

So then you have no choice but to seek alternative revenue streams (ads, data mining) and in fact this becomes the thing, since the original thing no longer produces a revenue.

Digital products such as "photoshop" have had value because people need a tool like that and there's only a limited number of competition, i.e. scarcity. The scarcity exists because of the cost. I.e. the cost of creating "photoshop"creates limit for how many "photoshops" exist. When you bring down the cost you'll have more "photoshops" when you have more "photoshops" as the volume increases the value decreases. Imagine if you can just tell claude "write me photoshop", go take a dump and come back 30 mins later to a running photoshop. You wouldn't now pay 200USD for a license, now would you? You'd pay 0USD.

If you now create a tool that can (or promises it) can obliterate the costs, it means essentially anyone can produce "photoshop". And when anyone can do it it will be done over and over and at which point they're worth zero and you can't give them away.

The same thing has happened to media publishing, print media -> web, computer games etc.

Then the problem is that when your product is worth zero you can no longer make a business by creating your product, so in order to survive you must look into alternative revenue streams such as ads, data mining etc. None of which are a benefit to to the product itself.

Do you think it's fair that when the society moves underneath, the capitalistic system moves its tectonic plates it's the individual who has to bear the cost of that?

Abd let's be clear only software devs are just sucking it up. You think lawyers and doctors would allow themselves to be laid off en masse and be replaced with trainees who just prompt the computer?

Also what will happen when high wage earners start loosing their discretionary income. The whole service sector for starters will be shaken.

Just imagine some big tech company laying off 10k engineers. Making 0.3m per year. That's 3b dollars that disappear from the incomes and thus from the economy and just stays in the pockets of the capital holders.

We're about to pull the rug underneath all knowledge workers. This will disrupt wage earners lives. This will disrupt the economy.

You might feel great about when things become cheaper but remember that when things are cheap it's only because costs are low and when costs are low the revenues are low and when revenues are low salaries are low too. Keep in mind that one party's cost is other party's revenue.

The economy is ultimately one large circle where the money needs to go around. You might think of yourself a winner as long as someone else's salary drops to zero and you still get to keep your income but eventually it will be you whose income will also be disrupted.

Just something to keep in mind.

And also we're going to just not rug pull on the individual knowledge workers but businesses too. Any software company with a software product will quickly find themselves in a situation where their software is worth zero.

Also this comment about gatekeeping is absolutely stupid. It's like saying trained doctors and medical schools are gatekeeping people from doctoring. It would be so much better if anyone could just doctor away, maybe with some tool assistance. So much fantastically better and cheaper? Right! Just lay off those expensive doctors and hire doctor-prompters for a fraction of the price.

For an old dog like myself it feels an unjust rug pull.

This comment has very strong survival ship bias though because you're only looking and ranking the treatments that did happen. How about the cases when the person was denied treatment based coverage or whatever reason. These cases should rank too.
