studies show a clear trend – output is up (more code, more commits, bigger diffs), but outcomes don’t reflect that trend. If anything, the average team is taking longer to ship worse software

Hehehehe

LLMs struggle with negation. Telling them not to do something can often have the same effect as telling them to do it.

The future looks... unreliable.

Models may get more powerful, but not significantly more reliable. This it folks – work with what you’ve got!

We all know that true AGIs becoming smarter than humans seems inevitable, but that could be like a hundred years from now, if ever. What's unclear is what will happen two years from now, involving matters having little to do with the technology & what it is capable of and instead more to do with the economy and what jobs will be available then.

AGI isn't possible with current or near tech. Anyone who says otherwise is huffing paint or selling AI crap.

I literally said "if ever", and also "seems" rather than "is". I also never so much as implied current tech, with my comment about a hundred years from now.

You are reacting against what I never said.

Though I choose to upvote your comment anyway, since at least you said it rather than simply assumed it and moved on.

15 - 30 years of pain followed by the end of life as we know it those who adapt may thrive but will continue to be exploited.

Tbf to LLM manufacturers, the end of life as we know it was coming either way.
