AI (LLM) is useful for coding and I use it to lookup various articles or websites and summarize.

Use it where it works.. ignore the agents hype and other bullshit peddled by 19yo dropouts.

Unlike the 19yo dropouts of the 2010s these guys have brain rot and I don’t trust them after having talked to such people at start up events and getting their black pill takes. They have products that don’t work and lie about numbers.

I’ll trust people like Karpathy and others who are genuinely smart af and not kumon products.

On this website on another thread there is a principal software engineer at Microsoft who wrote an essay on how agent systems are amplifying all of the employees productivity massively even on large complex tasks.

Now the question is whether that’s true (and thus should be objectively measurable) or if he is bullshitting because Microsoft invested so much money in it it just has to work.

[bdangubic]

yes, I believe this. Microsoft is deploying an army of devs to HN to tout AI because they are invested in at cost of billions of dollars per year - HN AI Bubble :)

You don't need a coordinated disinformation campaign for employees to drink the Kool-Aid and evangelize.

all it takes is significant emotional investment for someone to become a bit blind to reality.

“Principal” at Microsoft (or Oracle) is “Senior” or “Staff” everywhere else just fyi

[rsynnott]

I mean, MS is _deep_ into this; “company who is going to plow literally one hundred billion dollars into thing in the next year says thing is just great” is not _terribly_ convincing, honestly.

LLMs are not useful for coding in any real world project.

That people keep repeating a lie does not make it true.
