This doesn’t read to me as someone who is sincerely impressed or rather surprised what ai is capable off.

This reads like someone is trying to convince me, that ai is just this good, and that the author is telling me to use more ai.

To me this sounds like: Trust me, it’s really bad, i know what I’m talking about. Just lean into it, or change profession.

I didn't get that impression at all, I think there is genuine write off or outdated view of LLMs here. I also see lot of people sharing issues raised by LLMs at tasks that a human would also fail to produce an accurate result.

So in this thread there is a mix of genuine edges that LLMs need harness and guidance with tasks that when given to a human will not perform well in that LLM is supposed to suddenly solve.

Like the thread above about financial compliance, without knowing specifics it can be very vague in language and confusing unless you apply to precedents and exact scenarios that can give you a range for what is acceptable/unacceptable. Mythos or any LLM isn't going to magically figure these edges out for you because a human would also struggle at such task.

My advice is don't let what you read here including my comment dictate your own decisions, but apply the same common sense, apply it in ways that it can help you and figure out when to use determinism vs LLM in the context of your jobs.

These lazy comments that simply try to paint a black and white categorization of AI/LLM are just noise.

I find this doomsday interpretation of AI replacing engineers ridiculous. Lots of it also seems to be bot-written spam.

Just because an AI seems to know finance/architecture/debugging doesn't devalue authors knowledge of said domain. Its essentially like your coworker having the same knowledge. There's space on the market for both. And if AI gets to the point that it can in fact replace engineers (somehow also claiming accountability?) I'd expect it to be priced competitively enough to make every manager think hard whether to buy and become hopelessly dependent on some 3rd party service or hire an engineer. The market is not a zero sum game.

I was thinking maybe the author really likes Datadog MCP or has some kind of conflict of interest. It's weird to see this content in HN.

yes, I stopped reading it because of that, and because it felt AI generated.
