      Everyone is going to pivot here
      Don’t let denial get you
      If I was still in the industry I wouldn’t look upon these developments as something that is no big deal
      It is a big deal and what might happen is there will be bigger demands on less programmers to produce more
      Which means those that choose to stay(honestly why?) might make a bit more but the job will suck more
      The interviews will get worse not better
      The upside is this will FUD out lots of people chasing after the cash cow and remove some competition

      But honestly if you already don’t like the job just bail before you get pigeonholed
      There are other jobs that pay as much or more
      Remember this is just the first starts of something usable, we all know if it’s useful it will be improved, if it will save money it will be used… even if it’s just the idea that it will and everyone accepts that, even if it doesn’t which is always the “funny” part

        What AI is doing here is just a glorified compiler.
        It's worse, because you can actually audit and ensure a compiler is robust. AI is a statistical black-box.
        Compilers led to fast code-gen productivity, did compilers kill programming?
        No. People moved to higher level languages and became more productive. It "killed" ASM, maybe. But for robustness someone still needs to understand ASM to verify the compiler, naturally.
        What AI is doing is replacing Pajeets by using a non-rigorous, not battle-hardened compiler. It's a compiler with no spec, only statistical heuristics for what it's trained on.
        When planes fall out of the sky because of unauditable AI engineering, there will be a pivot away from AI.
        We already see that with self-driving cars, but this is the latest attempt by data scientists to save their jobs selling snake oil.

    What are you working on where the problem can be solved without the context of the rest of the codebase? I tried it for a few tasks and it created decent boilerplate code, but it still took a ton of work to integrate it with our existing codebase.

                You can also look up at the nvidia nerf, it basically does photogrammetry on steroids, it creates models with transparency, roughness and normal maps from way fewer photos needed compared to traditional photogrammetry. And nvidia is paying ''photogrammetry artists'' to feed the AI

                The problem with 3D is that you can't get it simply to learn from pictures like with 2D. Dudes with Dream posted above try to cope (very cleverly) to make it work, but it is still very very limited. Nvidia's NERF is the same thing, but with million of pajeet feeding it data every day and it is still nowhere near even amateur level. This is why 3D AI is inherently not going on the same trajectory as 2D did.

                No, that is not what they are doing. Nerf meshes are on par with shittier photogammetry at this moment for that very reason. Mind you that is AFTER nvidia already spent lot of time feeding it specifically curated 3D data (something regular user can't do like with 2D).
                AI for 3D works on vastly different level and it is mostly useful as an addition to human-created work, not the other way around.

                Its one thing to make a 3d object that vaguely resembles the object you wanted from specific angles, its an entirely different thing to make a usable mesh with workable topology and UVs. Photo scanning has done more damage to 3d artists than AI will in the next decade. Animators might get fucked over by it though.

      Today I was writing a method that would take two generic lists and convert them into a third list with specific criteria for the properties of the objects on the list and then call an api to send those lists to, using jwt tokens and a specific encryption function.

      With just a few prompts it wrote all of this code without any problem and even the encryption function, when I asked it to write the code in O(n) it did it too.

      I was also working on a function to specifically decrypt a type of internal token and it wrote almost all the code perfectly and then just as joke I gave it a bunch of standard examples such as "code a link shortener" and "write some code that does image compression" and it did all of it and it only required minor tweaks.

      >inb4 yeah you could have just easily googled it and figured it out

                it takes time to describe the problem
                it takes time for trial and error until you actually get a decent result
                it takes time to copy over the solution and refactor it so it works with existing code and is up to standards
                you'd be better off just writing the damn loop

      Or not. Considering how paranoid companies like OpenAI and Google are, they might never actually release an AGI, or would charge massive amounts of money for it to the point that human developers would still be a more cost-effective choice.

      ChatGPT can't actually think though. Its just trained on an unfathomably large amount of data (Imagine spending a lifetime reading 5,000 medium-sized books, and then multiply that by 10,000) so of course it can patch together C code into something that functions most of the time.

        people could probably hack an AGI-like tool by prompting something like ChatGPT recursively. Ask it high level concepts broken down by steps, get more details on each step, provide it's own results as feedback and build entire software suites that were initiated by a high level command from a human

        These companies can probably already nearly do it but giving others access to it is something different entirely

          I guess the problem is that you could train it to work with business analysts, who wouldn't even look at the source. They would just say "Here is some example data, I expect this output, did your code return this output? No? Adjust it so it returns this and that here".

          Initially, these BAs will be former devs though, because they know how to talk to a computer, in this case how to write test cases. Oh shit, dev bros, QAs and SDETs are going to take over.

      I'm assuming the worst boring scenario - in 3 years these tools badly devalue what I know. A bet on AI related tech stocks proves unfeasible, with prices never dropping into a reasonable range, and large scale disruption being slow, resulting in decade long crabbing. No good options, stay in industry, with increasing pressure to keep up? Look for alternatives, any investment increasing the odds you will not make the cut earlier, and get squeezed out?

        Entity Framework (EF) fails at garbage collection because it relies on unmanaged resources, such as database connections and command objects, which are not automatically cleaned up by the garbage collector. The using statement is necessary because it ensures that these unmanaged resources are properly disposed of when they are no longer needed, preventing memory leaks and potential errors. This is important because unmanaged resources can cause performance issues and may even cause the application to crash if they are not properly managed.

          .NET is a framework created by Microsoft that provides a runtime environment for applications. It includes a powerful set of libraries and tools that can be used to develop a wide range of applications, including web, mobile, desktop, and server applications.

          One of the key features of the .NET framework is its support for multi-threading, which allows applications to perform multiple tasks concurrently within a single process. A thread is a lightweight process that can be managed independently by the operating system. Each thread has its own stack and can execute concurrently with other threads.

          When a thread is created, it is added to the thread pool, which is a collection of threads that are available to be assigned work by the operating system. The thread pool is managed by the .NET runtime, and it is responsible for assigning threads to tasks and ensuring that threads are efficiently utilized.

          When a thread is not actively executing, it is said to be sleeping. A thread can be put to sleep either by the operating system, when it determines that the thread is not currently needed, or by the developer, through the use of the Thread.Sleep method. When a thread is sleeping, it is not executing any code and is not consuming any CPU resources.

          In summary, .NET multi-threading allows applications to efficiently utilize the available CPU resources by executing multiple tasks concurrently within a single process. The thread pool is responsible for managing the threads and ensuring that they are efficiently used to execute tasks. A thread can be put to sleep by the operating system or by the developer, and this allows the thread to be paused without consuming any CPU resources.

          Now this is 99% a GPT answer - technically correct, practically useless. It told me shit I already know with any insight. And if I didn't know, I wouldn't walk away understanding more, unlike the garbage collection answer anon wrote.

            I asked it to elaborate on the lightweight thread part:

            A thread is a unit of execution within a process. A process is a program in execution, and it is the highest level of abstraction in an operating system. Each process has its own memory space and resources, and it is isolated from other processes.

            A thread is a lightweight version of a process, and it shares the same memory space and resources as the process that it belongs to. This means that multiple threads within a single process can access and modify the same data, which allows for efficient communication and coordination between threads.

            Because threads are lighter than processes, the operating system can manage them more easily. This allows for faster and more efficient thread management, as the operating system does not need to allocate as many resources to manage each thread. Additionally, because threads within a process share the same memory space and resources, they can communicate and coordinate with each other more easily than processes can. This makes multi-threading an effective way to improve the performance of applications.

      When a thread is not actively executing, it is said to be sleeping. A thread can be put to sleep either by the operating system, when it determines that the thread is not currently needed, or by the developer, through the use of the Thread.Sleep method. When a thread is sleeping, it is not executing any code and is not consuming any CPU resources.

      In summary, .NET multi-threading allows applications to efficiently utilize the available CPU resources by executing multiple tasks concurrently within a single process. The thread pool is responsible for managing the threads and ensuring that they are efficiently used to execute tasks. A thread can be put to sleep by the operating system or by the developer, and this allows the thread to be paused without consuming any CPU resources.

    I think the only thing that could "stop" AI is validation. Unless every company has their specific "AI" buddy that handles all of their systems administration, onboarding, offboarding, termination - transferring of company files - encryption - setting up meetings. You have to give this autonomous thing access to sensitive information. I'm sure you can pass environment variables to the AI just fine though, that shit is over. How will it determine what servers need to be deployed for a certain project/department and where? What building? Can it determine costs as well? Will it order new server boxes? Will it determine where the cable needs to be laid? Will it order you a new mouse?

    But will the AI make the mail order and use the company credit account to purchase the mail out of equipment to remote workers? Will the AI take the call and create the ticket to other AI? I'm interested in how far it's going to go on the sys admin/support side of IT. There is a lot of real life shit that has to happen.

    Also, this will kill:
    - Data entry
    - Copywriters

            Realistically though, AI will be useful as a tool for a long time before it actually starts fully replacing humans.

                Like the Marx you (incorrectly) cite (and Marxists in general), you are entirely oblivious to elementary aspects of human nature. People "need" work. By work, I mean something to pass their time with and make them feel valuable to the "tribe." There are already widespread problems related to the fact that most of the jobs today are bullshit/surrogate jobs, just like most of the other activities are either simulacra or surrogate. Remove that entirely, and you have not made another step toward utopia but towards a terrible dystopia.

    An employer won't seriously trust AI to write code. it can do little problems, but makes small errors which are amplified over large amounts of code. You wouldn't ask the AI to debug an infrastructure, for instance, especially if you don't exactly know what's causing the bug. AI isn't going to deal with implementing more than a small feature at a time in a large scale program, and no PM wants to ask an AI for one small feature at a time from a bot, and then check it over and over again.
    Not to mention, even if it were possible, the industry is going to have the same pushback as they did with automatic elevators and the idea of self driving cars.

    My personal theory is that this isn't the start of jobless developers and AI generated codebases, but in exponentially faster development due to AI assisted coding. Developers aren't losing jobs, but they're going to have more tools on their belt.

      Increases in productivity will ultimately mean *less* programmers are needed for a job.

      Up until about 15 years ago, CAD drafters faced a similar situation when AutoCAD developed to the point that the engineers could just do it themselves without much fuss. There are still drafting jobs around, but they pay like, $17 an hour and maybe require an Associate's degree. The same thing will happen in the enterprise world, where MBAs and their ilk will be able to dictate requirements to an AI (or a team of two or three programmers) to create and deploy their ideas in an afternoon.

      The flipside of that argument though is that most enterprise software is inane CRUD bullshit that almost completely relies on marketing to sell itself. Companies aren't going to need to shell out big bucks for the gazillionth iteration of HR software if they can just hire someone with a two year degree to design it for them in an afternoon. When I was in high school back around 2006, I worked with a woman who was a word processor back in the 1980s. Back then, businesses thought that they needed specialized technicicans to operate word processing software, and it was a well paying job.

      Then MS Word came out.

    I told you idiots on /dpt/ like a year ago that assembly was the way to go and you said I was wasting my time lmao. Look at you now, this is the price you pay for accepting the notion that your hand need not be sullied by low level code.

    This in the thread I was going to make myself. I do low IQ office work, but set myself apart by learning some scripting and what not.

    I have used the chatbot to do some of my work and the results are incredible. My job is gone, HR is gone, etc. I just need to wait till my boss finds out.

    Not sure where to pivot... I have a family to feed. Maybe just HVAC or something?

    Why is music so hard? Is it because it is inherently SOUL, even if it's corporate hyperpop?

      AI can't put any underlying theme in the music. Which is what makes the music good. This is especially audible with AI-made classical music; the composition is great, the soundscape is great, the instruments are great. But in its entirety it is just dull, empty, soulless.

      It wrote
      ; Bootloader code

      ; Set the segment registers
      mov ax, 0x0000
      mov ds, ax
      mov es, ax

      ; Load the operating system into memory
      mov bx, 0x7c00
      mov dh, 0x01
      mov dl, 0x80
      mov cx, 0x8000
      mov ax, 0x301
      int 0x13

      ; Transfer control to the operating system
      jmp 0x0000:0x7c00

      "This bootloader sets the segment registers, loads the operating system from the first sector of the first hard drive, and then transfers control to the operating system. It is written in 16-bit x86 assembly language and can be executed on a compatible BIOS.

      Note that this is a very basic example, and a real-world bootloader may include additional functionality and error handling."

    The biggest risk from these AI TOOLS is that it will make the pajeet hoards better programmers and more competitive but at the end of the day human tech jobs will always be a thing in one form or another long after other jobs fall to automation.

      Most programming is just combining simple algorithms and programs into more and more complex ones. What we unironically need is to apply the unix philosophy to AI, in other words instead of training giant monolithic models that do 20 things at once, you have models that focus on doing one task really well with standardized interfaces, and then use those to build AI programs tailored exactly to your needs. Once that happens, we're screwed.

    I hope this humbles retard humans that nest unnecessary complexity in interfaces and documentation. The problems being solved here are not hard often use knowledge specific to that language or procedure. Humans are prideful creatures and avoid optimising for transferability.

    Already twice today I've generated very specific updates to rather lengthy jQuery to spitball client suggestions for visual changes to a UI.

    The code worked out of the box, and I got to sit on it for an hour while I worked on more important backend stuff.

    I had to change all the methods to fat arrow functions (handleNum1Change = (event) => {
    this.setState({
    num1: event.target.value
    });
    }
    for example),
    And aside from the addition function only appending the first number to the second one (i.e. 1+2 = 12 due to javashit dynamic types), it worked fine.

      the point is that due to AI only the blue collar jobs will remain. Firefighters, garbage men and WELDers will have the standards of living of the current upper middle class while everyone else will be bottom feeders with universal basic income.

      That's long term though. Even if the AI tech is almost there to replace a lot of jobs already companies will take decades to transform this into reality. Even simple automation with python could replace tons of filepushers and email senders, yet these people still exist today.
