No, he’s right, LLMs match the definition of AI. Terms like AI and AGI are not made up by corporations, they have specific meanings in computer science.

That’s not how it works though.
- Comment on The Death of the Junior Developer 3 weeks ago:
That’s not just engineering but also product and support. But yes, each one of those tasks are already on its way to being possible today, and agentic planning and coordination could make it feasible in much less time than you think. Until we get AGI /ASI it’ll need some human supervision, but not a lot more than that.
- Comment on The Death of the Junior Developer 3 weeks ago:
enough of the seniors have left and shit hits the fan
That was my first though also, but then I realized in that timespan the coding assistants will be able to replace the senior engineers as well. If not earlier.

Saying you know who said is, that’s the claim, and that’s an extraordinary claim.

No, because it’s an extraordinary claim.

Ah, gotcha, and I agree
- Comment on Mystery creator of Bitcoin identified, new HBO documentary claims 1 month ago:
That is the extraordinary evidence being referenced.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
Sorry, you misunderstood my comment, which was very badly worded.
I meant to imply that you, an experienced developer, didn’t get “scammed” by the LLM, and that the difference between you and the dev you mentioned is that you know how to program.
I was trying to make the point that the issue is not the LLM but the developer using it.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
Did you get scammed by the LLM? If not, what’s the difference between you and the dev you mentioned?

- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
I have to restart it once or twice each day as it refuses to play videos or audio after a while. I know it’s not a settings issue, and I searched everywhere for an explanation. It fucking sucks. I’m this close to going back to Chrome.

And what about the fact that they can’t guarantee any wifi speed because what they provide is Internet connectivity to the router, and wifi speed depends on the distance from the router, walls or floors in between, interference with other access points and radio emitters, etc?

- Comment on WhatsApp seems set on introducing ads, but they won't appear in your inbox 1 year ago:
Hmm. I see status updates but they are changes in people’s status, not stories, there’s only ever a handful of updates, and it just shows the names of the people who updated their WhatsApp status, which happens very rarely. There’s no feed there, nothing to scroll.
Below that I see Channels, a list of companies to follow, and an “explore more” button. Which I haven’t touched and don’t intend to. If that’s where the feed is… well, I don’t know what people expected, it’s obviously going to be corporate marketing.
- Comment on WhatsApp seems set on introducing ads, but they won't appear in your inbox 1 year ago:
I have community, chat, updates, calls. None of them had anything related to stories or feeds.
- Comment on WhatsApp seems set on introducing ads, but they won't appear in your inbox 1 year ago:
Are you sure you’re talking about WhatsApp? I don’t see stories anywhere. Never saw anything like that. Maybe you’re talking about Snapchat or Instagram or something else?
- Comment on WhatsApp seems set on introducing ads, but they won't appear in your inbox 1 year ago:
I don’t see that. There’s no feed anywhere as far as I can tell. I just see my chats. I didn’t create any communities or join any channels. Is that where you see a feed?
- Comment on LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info. 1 year ago:
They don’t have lax security measures. They use industry standard measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, salted passwords (they were caught without salt over a decade ago and fixed it), internal training on security, phishing simulations, the works. Your data is their business, they don’t want to lose it.
- Comment on LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info. 1 year ago:
Wow, ok. Ignoring your apparent refusal to potential salary improvements, you can always turn off notifications, hibernate your account, close your account, or filter emails from LinkedIn, if it’s such a big deal to you.
- Comment on WhatsApp seems set on introducing ads, but they won't appear in your inbox 1 year ago:
WhatsApp doesn’t have an inbox. What are they talking about!?
- Comment on LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info. 1 year ago:
Agreed, but that’s on the recruiters, not on the platform.

Thanks, it’s rare to find a well thought out answer in here like yours.
I agree that LinkedIn always did shady things to increase their user base. They used dark patterns to get access to your address book even as they got constant criticism for that, both externally and internally. One of their top product managers was actually proud of that, and said that they would have done more if possible.
But I very much doubt they actually sold their customer’s emails at any point. They have always been very protective of their customer’s data, fighting scrapers and limiting APIs. There’s no upside to selling your customers info. You’re undermining your own business by doing so.

My sarcasm detector is uncertain with this one.

How do you mean? Are you confusing recruiters reaching out to you with spammers?
