I was basically told the other day, that if I (as a Network Engineer) don’t start using LLMs more regularly, that the vibe coders on my team will replace me with agents.
Let that sink in.
Imagine, an agent, configuring a BGP session, and validating it. MPLS. DWDM.
Yep. Me too. I’m fucking terrified.
Ohh, I would be glad. We would finally see how fragile the internet really is and hopefully it will spawn a better internet
We’ve been warned about Skynet for decades. But in reality, it won’t be this organized, intelligent threat and will instead be this discordant shitstorm that eats all our resources and creates instability everywhere and goads everyone into a false (dependent) sense of security so that there’s no chance of properly rebuilding after our infrastructure fails
skynet achieved self-awareness, and AI. LLM arnt even close. let alone these ceos want Cylons too.
Dddddddddddddd…

No it doesn’t!
Lalalalalalalaaaaa can’t hear you!
I can finally fire everybody who ever said no to me!
AI is the worst thing that ever happened to software engineering. I’m actually reviewing my options for getting out of it.
oh yea, not only that , conventions centers are mostly peddling AI TECH startups right now to stave off the bubble burst. i wonder how many tech employees going to these know AI is total BS, or to make thier bosses happy under the threat of getting a future layoff.
Same here. I’m looking at all my other hobbies and trying to see which one would be the best… Unfortunately I doubt I could get anywhere near the same salary unless I find a way to start my own successful business out of one of them. That sounds just as stressful though lol
I was trying to think of the same thing and came up blank.
Try to resist a little bit more. The second AI winter is months away from now.
I’m hoping to exit the industry (eg., retire) as soon as is practical. It’s just not fun any more and this was the shit-icing on the cake for me.
Now, LLMs being used to check for vulnerabilities… that I’m not really against, machine-learning is good at pattern recognition and it seems to be legitimately useful at that from what I’ve heard.
But as ‘intelligence’ or a trustworthy search mechanism for retrieving and re-synthesizing (note I did not use the words ‘authoring’ or ‘creating’) anything more than simple standalone functions? Nope, nope nope. Too many hallucinations and I didn’t fall in love with programming and computer science only to end up being a reverse centaur, slaving away at prompts to actively steer a stochastic slot-machine into writing the proper code for a task.
“stochastic slot machine” What a great description. I have to remember that one. :)
I envy those that can retire soon. I’m halfway through my career, not enough money to retire yet.
I think it’s one of the worst things that happened to humanity.
Even if you somehow want to convince yourself that the social and technological damage it causes are not so bad, the environmental impact is just the last nail on the coffin of humanity.
We’ll all die for shitty chatbots.

Actually, both are valid

The bubble can’t pop soon enough and it’s gonna drag the entire US economy under with it

Don’t worry the Chinese economy has been groomed to take over. They already make all of our shit anyway, And we’ve trained all their scientist and engineers and our western education so they have all the knowledge that we have already.
