Why not get the anti-drone turret working before you try to throw self driving in the mix?

I am not just saying shit. I am telling you, as a person working for such a company, that this is real and this is happening. This is not executives talking shit. Although yes executives do talk a lot of shit and have unrealistic expectations. Coding was never really the slowest part of software development anyway.

This may have been an accurate assessment 18 months ago, but it is not anymore. If you're not getting good results out of the latest models it's more of a you problem than a model problem at this point. And not to be completely rude here but at the level of people getting paid 7 figures USD to develop software LLMs are being widely used for basically all code. We need to move past this cope about their capabilities.

maybe he should pay another 25 year old that vibecoded an app a couple billion dollars

It’s a dead-end technology that cannot be relied upon for anything serious

I'm sorry you are completely wrong. Do LLMs produce slop? Yes. Are LLMs useful? Also yes. The software industry, at least at the high end, is transforming rapidly because of this technology. The question of whether or not LLMs and other generative AI techniques along those lines are generally applicable is still an open one. But at least in some industries such as software it is certainly not a dead-end technology that cannot be relied upon for anything serious.
