After using LLMs for a while, I have to admit it's pretty nice, and I like using it. I've been vibecoding a few apps, and it's a good dopamine hit to immediately see your ideas come to life. However, based on my experience, it will bite you if you trust it blindly. Even in my vibecoded projects, it keeps adding "features" without me asking for them. Since they're just pet projects, I don’t really care as long as the end result is what I'm expecting, but I don’t think companies will be as flexible. I also don't think customers would like it if features changed or got added with every new fix or update.

So this could go in a bunch of different directions from here, but to summarize the current situation:

    A lot of companies are heading in this direction.
    Without proper engineering, AI will easily write more code and potentially change the application unintentionally.
    We will have fewer junior engineers entering the market because of fear around AI and reduced hiring.
    AI usage will hit a critical point where it is making massive amounts of changes, and the people "prompting" it might start getting overwhelmed.
    We will end up with more features that people have to keep in their heads. I don’t think we can trust LLMs 100%, and because of that, developers will still need to know exactly what the application does.
    Eventually, there will be a lot of bugs, and developers will complain that we need additional human resources.
    Hiring starts again.

I have a CI at home that builds my nixos config on a weekly basis with the latest flake. The artifacts are pushed to atticd. With this setup, when I actually need to update my machines, its almost instantaneous.

Some folks say we could fix this with universal basic income, where everyone gets enough money to live on, but I'm not optimistic that it'll be an easy transition. Plus, there's this possibility that whoever controls these 'AGI' systems basically controls everything. We definitely need to figure this stuff out before it hits us, because once these changes start happening, they're probably going to happen really fast. It's kind of like we're building this awesome but potentially dangerous new technology without really thinking through how it's going to affect regular people's lives. I feel like we need a parachute before we attempt a skydive. Some people feel pretty safe about their jobs and think they can't be replaced. I don't think that will be the case. Even if AI doesn't take your job, you now have a lot more unemployed people competing for the same job that is safe from AI.

I guess similar results might be possible with other accounting tool but Ledger perfectly meets my requirements. Also, it integrates pretty well with Emacs and I get to check my reports from there.

One other option is to use https://github.com/danburzo/percollate to convert a webpage to a nice document directly. I use both tools depending on my needs.

What is the rollback they are talking about? Is it in terms of something new in google chrome?

From what I can tell, they are looking for certain amount of ads 'injection' to come from chrome. What does that really mean? Does chrome really control the ads injected into the search results from google? I had assumed that was directly from google. Or maybe something happened in the recent chrome update that reduced the number of direct queries heading to google?

Also what's with the suggestion to increase the search box vertical space to increase in a search tab to make search prominent? That sounds pretty interesting to me.
