for coding .. it works ok but i prefer the openai or anthropic models, much better results.
is it hard to prove? yes.
then, which model does it, or if any does it now.. doesn't matter. what matters is that some inevitably will, and which models you pick will matter.
actual decline started last century (that's for a hundred).
Older people aren't actually "boomers with everything handed to them", it's just you in 30y - more experience, more depth, and slight drop in cognitivity.
for computer science, I find it interesting that almost every Gen z can use and talk about concepts but does not understand how a computer works (be it transistors, kernel, or memory allocation for example).
With AI we all know this will get worse, and it already does. it's not just the prompting - AIs can and will return information with the upmost confidence, even if wrong. A lot of critical thinking is needed, which cannot be found by re-querying or using a search engine (that does the same thing) - information isn't cognitivity.
the reason it's interesting is that the lack of understanding and skill results in a "bourgeoisie" class in the workforce, and that isn't correlated to skill, amounts of labor or even cognitivity.
This tends to reduce the utilization of 'overwhelmingly' smart people, who are put to crappy tasks just to make money and ends meet.
the hate trains folks get on boarded onto just blind them from simple truth. yeah I'm pretty sure the road does indeed fly for short distances. yes it's totally impractical. and yet it does. and it's also quite the feat. doesn't mean one should buy it, but the blindness coming from manufactured hate is really ridiculous.
I'm not quite sure what their strategy is, because it looks like the models released just have tweaks on the same original training data, but nothing more. Basically, they decide not to release them and it doesn't seem to be a much different when they finally to decide to release.
look my brother is an electrician. I do this work too, but for a different reason: in my area they make as much or more than mid level software engineers, so when it's about adding a breaker box they want 8k and if it's not absolutely perfectly easy they might still drop the job. enough of them do and eventually you do it yourself.
obviously, it's quite different for the ones that gotta go daily for a lot less pay, like my brother, and while it doesn't tax your mind as much as tech companies, you do have a tax on the body. plus, they always do quite a bit more than just the electrical wor
underdogs also use that fact to push as much dirt and dislike as possible on the top dog, but just so that they can do the same anyway... and openai will just stop spending for IPO as we all know. then all execs will make 1bi or so. top guys a few hundred bi.
it's disgusting but unavoidable.
- Most people suck at planning anyway
- LLM still don't give you a way to verify and understand to iterate.. you have to ask and then formulate and way so people barely do it, they just trust the vibe
IMO the current successor to plan mode should be the harness knowing when to tell the use "ok here's our overall current state in a simple diagram", auromatically
The first one that was used to market anthropic models was run by a company that called them sandboxed with no Internet access and of course it was disclosed later that they in fact did have internet access, and they won't disclose the prompts.
insert meme of kid putting a stick in their bike front wheel here... that's how many use LLMs today. it will get worse.
The "agents" dont walk out of openai, anthropic and whatever headquarters and decide to go wreak havoc. They also don't read a prompt and decide "haha imma hack the NSA now", that's not how any of this works lol.
It's all information wars at the end of the day, and HN is not impervious to any of it. Its like OAI and Anthropic saying we should all slow down AI model work. Like, lol, right. As if others would do that.
The only way to be safe, so far, has to be that everyone is second guessing everyone's capabilities - not "ahah they dont do it anyway lets go crush em".
Same as nuclear weapons basically, we all have them.
if you are no longer needed, you won't be allowed to live.
makes me chuckle every time folks think humans who get to power are nice.
words dont really matter all that much. people use them because it makes them sound like they know what it is, and if its important and complex, usually have no clue.
ive seen enough "abac" where the attribute is "your login name"
