What "discussion" do you want to have? Another round of "LLMs are terrible at embedded hardware programming ergo they're useless"? Maybe with a dash of "LLMs don't write bug-free software [but I do]" to close it off?
The discussions that are at all advancing the state of the art are happening on forums that accept reality as a matter of fact, without people constantly trying to constantly pretend things because they're worried they'll lose their job if they don't.
You wouldn’t be getting some dismissive responses if yall didn’t open with “star trek post scarcity singularity” schizo shit and the companies explicitly putting out hostile messages.
Now you may read that as .. checks notes "star trek post scarcity singularity", but forgive me, I didn't.
Hey, so if I DO see it, can I stop it from happening?
Of the two of you, I know which one I'd bet on being "right". (Hint: It's the one talking about their own experience, not the one supplanting theirs onto someone else)
To that poster:
Literally everyone in development is using AI.
The difference is "negative" people can clearly see that it's on a trajectory in the NEAR, not even distant, future to completely eat your earnings, so they're not thrilled.
You're in the forest and you're going "Wow, look at all these trees! Cool!"
The hubris is thinking that you're a permanent indispensable part of the loop.
We birthed a level of cognition out of silicon that nobody would imagine even just four years ago. Sorry, but some brogrammers being worried about making ends meet is making me laugh - it's all the same people who have been automating everyone else's jobs for the past two decades (and getting paid extremely fat salaries for it), and you're telling me now we're all supposed to be worried because it's going to affect our salaries?
Come on. You think everyone who's "vibe coding" doesn't understand the pointlessness of 90% of codemonkey work? Hell, most smart engineers understood that pointlessness years ago. Most coders work on boring CRUD apps and REST APIs to make revenue go up 0.02%. And those that aren't, are probably working on ads.
It's a fraction of a fraction that is at all working on interesting things.
Personally, yeah, I saw it coming and instead of "accepting fate", I created an AI research lab. And I diversified the hell out of my skillset as well - started working way out of my comfort zone. If you want to keep up with changing times, start challenging.
Most of the anti-AI comments I see on HN are NOT a version of "the problem with AI is that it's so good it's going to replace me!"
That's just... not true? There are many, many people who sincerely believe (sometimes from real experience, sometimes because they want it to be true) that AI absolutely cannot do whatever they are trying to do, and so they don't use it.
