        they spend most time writing in Twitter/X or whatever is called, that writing code, this explain why they are fired.
        In my job, AIs are awesome because it really is better than the human alternatives for most applications and it makes deployment incredibly simple. Programming always have this meme about coders socializing, idle, reading xdcc comic, social media, Stackoverflow, etc, but never in his jobs.

        lmao you fricking morons are such small minded morons. You could train a LLM to look for very specific bugs and code then have another look for specifics then have another check that and so on. This is one scenario I could see happening. Are people like you how normal low IQ people function? Its absolutely hilarious how small people think in such small ways.

          ...what is this take? It genuinely seems like you've never coded in your life. How would you even train it to find bugs? Simple bugs I can see, but more common bugs that need the specific context of the codebase as a whole? How do you make sure that the bugs it fixes doesn't unintentionally make more bugs because it doesn't fully understand what its doing (something I constantly have to wrangle chat gpt)? How would you train that reliably without exponential electrical and computing power we probably won't even see in decades (hell maybe centuries)? What the hell does "look for specifics" even mean? Specifics of what? And based on what? And then have "another check" that is just as resource hungry as the last? Where are you getting all this energy power this shit at scale?? Microsoft is in the negative cause this shit is so fricking costly as it is and you want to add more for results that you can't even be sure of??? I don't even understand how you would come to this conclusion. I feel like im in talking to same crypto, tesla, spaceX bros about the reality of what they're simping over again...

            Another AI with better explanation will help supplement for instance.

                It's more then just that and I am being a bit hyperbolic but you should basically understand what I am getting at.

                At that many steps the code is basically unnecessary. If you're relying on AI to be able to automate the system then the system might as well be the AI. No reason to train it to write code.

                right, but I can imagine that you could have specific jobs for each AI that is trained on something more specifically then others. If training LLMs takes a lot for everything why not have a bunch of them doing different very specific things.

    As long as LLMs and similar have a >5% error rate, they won’t be seriously adopted in any sensitive roles. Subtle accumulation of errors upon errors will lead to catastrophic results for early adopters. The lack of accountability makes fixing those errors harder as no one quite understands what the LLM was going for or exactly where it began hallucinating.
    Would you trust a doctor with a 3% hallucination rate to diagnose your cancer? Or to feed you key statistical info about your business? Or to drive you?

            You do realize that the errors are not just "woops, AI randomly decided to be wrong somehow" but are repeatable? Yes, there are some errors like it saying 95% of times that Italy is in Europe and 5% some random dogshit, but that is just one type of error. What if none of the car AIs were thought on how to handle deers, so all of them drove into one. If the problem with AI today was just that it is omniscient oracle of truth that sometimes decides to be wrong at random times, you could make it code anything by just asking it to give you the same code 20 times and having it run to see which is best and which works. But it does not work like that, you cannot make this thing happen because it is still sevearly limited, the same way if you ask 5 year old how to figure out theory of relativity, you still wont figure it out even if you ask him thousand of times. Maybe quintillion monkeys in sextillion years would write it for you on a typewriter, but thats something completely different.

      Anyone with enough medical knowledge and skepticism to know if their doctors are giving the correct answers would say that that's much better than what they would get from the average human one, and unlike them the quality of their results will actually get exponentially better and cheaper as the tech improves.

        Adding to that, human doctors rarely can come up with solutions to multidisciplinary problems because they tend to study just one medical carreer, most of the times where a patient's problem involve shit that requires the expertise of, say, periodoncists, orthodoncists and otorhinolaryngologists simultaniously he has to search the solution by himself or have a high likelyhood of having medical negligence.

      Back in ye olden days before mass production we had these things called "Guilds" that filled the same role.
      One of their defining traits was the idea that a guild member must never produce(sell) a defective product, because a single faulty product would bring shame on all guild members, causing loss of reputation which back then was everything.
      So every product was first made by hand, and then double and triple checked by both the master that made it and other guildsmen.
      As a result, guilds were able to achieve a 99.99%+ rate of high quality output.
      Even today, pretty much none of the industry fields can hope to match this level of quality control. Many of them are profitable at 10% rate of failure, and some Chinese ones are over 30%, despite being the defacto leaders of their particular field. And at the same time, we don't have guilds anymore.
      People learn to accept defective goods in their life.
      Quantity beats quality.
      Availability beats quality.
      Speed beats quality.

      no. a CS degree is as good as any other for a lot of jobs, and better for quite a few. I don't care that they're torching the payrolls and getting rid of the "day of work at company" tiktokers, possibly some pajeets, etc. If you graduate and all you are is a code monkey, then your school has failed you. i'm coming from an industry (finance) that was already dealing with massive operational layoffs, so it's nothing new to me. i'm sure there will be some AI wrangling expert jobs or AI design/implementation jobs that will want a CS degree and 5 years' relevant experience just the same

    Times are definetly changing. If you are a respected coder in your company then you have nothing to fear but if you are a junior like me it can get ugly. My job wasn't replaced immediatly but it rather was convenient to do so. I never get along with my boss but I was tolerated because we needed programers. As AI was used more and more by my collegues the company had more room for dismissals. One quarrel with my boss later I was fired and my work is now done through AI observed by my colleagues. I admit that I'm not very likable for most people, but it was tolerated until AI came around. It lowers the ceiling for what is accepted and if you are already struggling chances are you're getting replaced soon.

    Not really but I'm about to retire and have seen dozens of these fads come and go where managers were going to be able to replace programmers with some tool. What ends up happening is that they have to hire programmers who understand how to use the tool to program because managers give up quickly once they start getting errors and don't know what to do next.
    First time I saw SQL it was presented to me as a way for managers to get rid of "expensive systems analysists" because now managers could ask the computer in an easy to understand English like language the questions they wanted answered. That lasted for half an afternoon and then it was turned over to the programmers.
    Maybe this time it really will be different but more likely it will be just another tool and there will be some expectation from management for developers to have higher output, which might or might not happen. Either way, management will likely still be dependent on some kind of "developer" to work with the tool so the manager doesn't have to.

      this sounds right. Makes me think of a particular tool for engineers that uses a visual coding language. The idea was that the engineers could do some simple scripting without needing to be programmers because the interface was all big pretty pictures designed for toddlers (eerily simlar to mit scratch). Naturally it turned out engineers don't know scripting in any format so it was inevitably turned over to the programmers who now are forced to deal with a visual programming language designed for toddlers.

    Yes and im very surprised that this isn't being discussed more.

    We can debate how good these AIs are and how close they come to human ability, as if this matters. But it doesn't really matter. Since when do business people make decisions based on whether something actually works?
    Most code out there today, written by humans is utter dogshit. AI doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be not horrible to win.

    This change is already underway, and the only reason you don't hear more about it is that big tech companies are afraid of software engineers getting wise to it and organizing their labor. It's also invites all kinds of regulation and oversight. So this is all happening on the down low.

Shit hits the fan and then we move on and no one really cares. We routinely get smacked in the face with the frickups of technological automation and we just move on with life.

    Keep in mind that AI generated code cannot be copyrighted or licensed. It is public domain at creation. This doesn't mean you have to disclose the source code but you also can't go after anyone who gets that source code, even through decompilation.

    No, I work in CNC, a field that has been automated and computerized for so long that there is still terminology built into the controls that refer to punch card and tape memory even though it's all usb, network and LCD screens on new machines. We also have manual machines at work because computers will never replace people completely. There is also industry specific software that converts drawings into machine code and has been for decades, so I, as a programmer can be replaced, right? No I still have to adjust code, alter numbers, etc because it's cheaper for my company to hire a programmer than to outsource all their drawings to a third party who automates it. Then there is the issue of IP theft and privacy. We work with customer data and some things we can't send to third party contractors so that's just another thing that can't just be blindly automated.
    Lastly, and it applies to any field of automation, is that someone has to be there to make sure the automated process is doing what it's supposed to do. AI can make code but it can't tell.you that it's working the way its supposed to. Someone still has to design the testing that confirms it.

    If the person in OPs screenshot is being unironic, think of how sad (hilarious) it is. If they could "clone" your work with telemetry, that means you weren't doing much that was special and they had no plans of making you do anything new. You already were an NPC at the job. AI is replacing the people who don't carry their own weight and raise the salaries of the people who do (if they're smart enough to demand it)

            I've worked in the public sector, in a situation probably not too far from those guys. Pay was half what I would've made elsewhere (though more interesting as a young graduate at first).

            But the benefits compensated a lot of the difference. I'm still enjoying some of them now. Subsidized transport and hotels even for private trips, only pay 1/3rd of a normal rent in a relatively high-priced area, food is basically free at the workplace, lots of the usual perks, etc. I had the same level of living as friends paid twice more.

              Yeah I understand why people go in the public sector, but I also understand that because it's somewhat guaranteed benefits regardless of what you do at the workplace, you've got to think somewhat differently about security. I ain't saying nobody gives a frick and everyone would be ready to compromise the whole company, but it's still something to consider. In private sectors people are somewhat more aware of security-related stuff and it's much easier to get them on board to do certain things.

                That's certain. You basically have to commit sexual assault to get fired in most civil service jobs. Short of that, you'll just get transferred to a less challenging job somewhere and most probably keep your pay. There are tons of professional do-nothings (no risks, no attention, don't talk about problems) because that gets you pretty far if you transfer or get promoted every few years and know how to present things in the best possible way for your hierarchy.

    Why do tradecucks act as if AI managing to replace every white collar worker in the next 10 years does not mean they are going to get it 3 years later or earlier? Yes, robotics is not advanced enough, but replacing people in tech boosts that research. Yes, robots are expensive for now, but the main cost of them is still in the manufacturing rather then materials, which can be mitigated by economy of scale. They say coordination and dexterity is something impossibly complex for machine to do and you need whole brain for it, while at the same time dexterous animals exist with 1/10th the brain of a human. And besides, white collar workers being fired means more people will flood into manual labor and your own job will get oversaturated, so you still lose out.

    This is part of a cycle that reoccurs about every 12 years. Companies build up their tech departments during the economic boom, trying to outcompete.

Then they spend more money than they would have by keeping their people, to hire new (white) men to get it all fixed and back on track. And the cycle beings anew.

              To "solve" chess you have to know the optimal move for every given board state. There is no proof that such an algorithm can exist in memory and run time bounded by the size of the universe. How would you compute the "correct" opening move unless you had explored the entire game tree and guaranteed that your opponent doesn't have forced mate sequences for all possible subsequent positions at depth 100?

                A conservative lower bound for the game-tree complexity of chess is 10^120.
                That means we need about 60 orders of magnitude of hardware and/or algorithmic progress.

    >Companies are firing coders and replacing them with AI bots. Do you feel your job is under threat?
    Not really, I mean AI isn't going to grasp more than 200 lines of code, let alone more than 50k lines of code divided into multiple modules that occasionally generate errors that even our senior developers take ages to understand and solve.

    God it feels so fricking good to be an engineer right about now. Extremely glad that I didn't waste my time with a tech career.

    How can you trust an ai to do code reviews when they have no domain knowledge? I can't tell you how many prs I've rejected where the Jr dev is trying to do something that looks fine in the code but doesn't really make sense domain wise.

    the day someone makes AI that codes as well as I do, I am starting my own company, and putting my employer out of business. it's the businesses who should be afraid of AI, not coders.

      I'm a good programmer but I would be terrible at running a company, I don't know how you expect this to work out

        git gud at it.
        >I don't know how you expect this to work out
        I am moving on to managing a project, and cloning myself as a coder times 100.

          My product owner and my boss have been dealing with customers for a decade+ and know exactly how to bullshit them or talk them down from features they'll regret. How quickly do you expect me to catch up with them?
          I know people who freelance and it sounds miserable

    i use gpt4 for work and 80% of the time, the code doesn't work first time. I ask it to fix a specific bug, and it will create a separate one. You're literally falling for marketing material, but keep coping, NEETs.

      It is not only bugs.
      Furthermore, if the scope of what you code is so small that you can easily put it in three sentences and toss it to chadgpt, you are a bad developer to beginn with.
      Normaly the complexity and decisions are so high level, any „AI“ would just bail out.

    If a 2023 "AI" can replace you, you are no coder.

    Now is a good opportunity to make a Consultant Firm that specializes in unfricking AI code.
    I forsee tons of business when software firms become dumpster fires due to AI.
