"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

No, it won't. Programming was and still is a professional job. If somehow corporations are able to throw resources at it to make this profession obsolete, this will be one of the last jobs which get replaced by machines. Hundreds of other jobs would be replaced before it. Corporations would have all the money with nothing to spend on.
If there isn't a revolution to overthrow this "infinite growth" model now, there will be. It's either the end of corporations, or humanity.
Even though we live in an utopia, burning all that energy to program isn't sustainable on this earth. It's a dead end for this so-called AI.
How can you see what's going on and say this? Did you read the article?
Have you heard of Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc? Where is the equivalent to those tools for those other jobs that will be replaced first?
After plain text, code is probably the biggest share of training data. Github alone hosts billions of lines of open source code. Where is the same type of data for those other jobs?
