Did you see the wack ass Quake II version Microsoft bragged about? It wasn’t even playable. A fucking 12 year old could do better.
Comment on Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke tells employees to prove AI can’t do the job before asking for resources.

Na man. It’s being used extensively in many jobs. Software development especially. You’re misinformed or have a biased view on it based on your personal experience with it.

I use it in software development and it hasn’t changed my life. It’s slightly more convenient than last gen code completion but I’ve never worked on a project where code per hours was the hold up. One less stand-up per week would probably increase developer productivity than GitHub Copilot.

Tried using Copilot on a few C# projects. I didn’t find it to be any better than Resharper. If anything it was worse because it would give me auto complete samples that were not even close to what I wanted. Not all the time but not infrequently either.

As a developer, we use AI “extensively” because it’s currently practically free and we rarely say no to free stuff.
It is, indeed, slightly better than last year’s autocomplete.
AI is also amazing at letting non-developers accomplish routine stuff that isn’t particularly interesting.
If someone is trying to avoid paying for one afternoon of my time, an AI subscription and months of trial and error are a new option for them. So I guess that’s pretty neat.

And in 10 years we will need 128GB RAM in every computer just to load a website that could have been 1MB of html and embedded images in a browser using 256MB of RAM.

Even if it does the basic shit at the expense of me working one less hour a week, it’s not worth paying for. And that ignores the downsides like spam, bots, data centers needing power/water, and politicians thinking GPU cards are national security secrets.
I don’t think we need a Skynet scenario to imagine the downsides.
