I bet AI is especially enticing to those of the "It can't be that hard" mentality.

It takes an engineer who knows the material well enough to see that LLM accuracy is incredibly low, even when it seems to be making sense.

This was my take until even this year, but honestly it has improved since a year or even six months ago.

It still lies to you and needs to be given pointers constantly, and many other caveats, but the reality is that all of the investment and coming up with the failure loop perfected by Claude Code changed things IMO.

It's really depressing to think about how all of these rich fucks set a trillion dollars on fire to eliminate one of the only good paying careers available. It's almost like it's time to riot or something. 🤷

I still don't think that means the c suite will be able to fire all of the programmers. It'll still be the nerds' job to get the robot to produce the software. It's likely just going to make life more miserable for the remaining programmers because more and more will be expected of less of them.

i would like to see the day when a PE firm buys ford, GM.

They have a department called "human resources". Come on. They see humans as just another resource.

Interesting. The PR team seemed to have got it at the local level. Maybe the AI bit from the article I posted was trying to reach the money people. I'm guessing the money people don't buy Fords as a rule.

It's in the context of app design software where you make diagrams of objects, properties and methods and their interactions, and it spits out object schemas.

Yeah but it doesn't work out described, if you do it wrong then it won't work

But they don't have MBA's!!!!!

Will if one would fall for this it would be a sign of progress.

But probably it's beyond repair and the capitalistic advantage (of the y model Ford) is lost forever

That depends on how many political “contributions” the company has made.

If Monsanto can hide the fact that they paid off scientists to say Glyphosate is safe for 30 years when they knew it caused cancer, I don't know whether I can trust that. I'm sure they have ways to hide recalls to deny, delay, and defend the process...

Right but OP watched Fight Club.

Not sure how it works where you are but in my country companies had started this trend where they began laying off “overpriced” programmers programmers who’d been hired in the dotcom boom, had remained loyal employees for decades and (here’s the real point) were reaching retirement age. They ‘offer a package’ (early retirement) and then manage out anyone who didn’t take it. Comes to pass that these devs have such deep domain expertise alongside their technical abilities that the majority of them get hired back as consultants at what amounts to a name-your-rate deal. Learn from us. Take the package and go freelance.

They seem to somehow have convinced themselves that these "brains" will just continue to learn and evolve with changes in process, technology, and so on. The AI psychosis that ends with all things being "Ah, finally I will be rich without pesky humans and bills".

Also not really into cars, but I think it has to do with the fact that people who know nothing about cars think it's one of the best cars ever or something (mostly due to marketing aimed at machismo and shit). But if you start learning about cars there's probably much better, more enjoyable rides out there, probably for much cheaper (since they're not purely about marketing and image).

Please take all of this with a heaping pinch of salt and anyone who knows better is more than welcome to correct me or add to what I said if I missed the mark completely.

Your common GT, nothing much. The V8 Coyote is a decent engine, but... we're comparing it against the LS if we're talking direct competion with Chevy, and in that regard, LS with me every time all day every day. The market is huge for parts and swaps.

For i-4 and v6 drivers, they couldn't care less about Ford, Chevy or Dodge, all-muscle vehicles that are too heavy to justify small engines and will spin out on a turn a WRX, BMW or, hell, a Civic Si would treat like a 35mph stroll at 75mph with hardly any difficulty.

...and you might want to read up on the reliability of Ford's Ecoboost engines, or the lack therof.

guy in the back: "What about Chrysler?"

The Charger's platform is solid and Mopar is a big brand for Dodge with lots of aftermarket. The 300 and the Challenger are decent cars by proxy, but they'd lose to... most. Too fat.

The cardinal rule: never let a k-series run dry. ever

Dale, that's FIAT.

Fix Or Repair Daily

...that spells out Fiat

Ford stands for

Fecund otters rule, dammit!

I can't a'Ford this Ai!

haha!

"alright dad"

What do you think they do now?

They should try the same thing with the police. Since crimes happen anyway what's the point in paying for them?

Although if you're firing US police the crime rate may actually go down.

our bougie version of trader joes is doing this right now. shoplifters security, cant even be followed by hired security anymore, the homeless usually heroin and meth addicts just come in snatch stuff like no tomorrow. at this point there isnt a reason to have the security anymore. now you cant snatch the item back, talk to them in a "aggressive way" or pretend like you are blocking them.

the city kept clearing the "homeless/drug addict" areas, and they have swarmed the area since.
