I'm fairly Ai positive myself, I just want to point out that Ai is better at detecting patterns than humans are.

For example, detecting AI slop reliably and intuitively is a skill that more and more people learn.

This is true, I also have this skill right now, but I have no confidence it will still be useful 2 years from now.

Anything that can be “created” by anyone with a few prompts loses its value.

What is value exactly, commercial value? Just because it took 3 prompts to create a great tool or the 11th season of Friends does not mean those don't have personal value or can give you a huge productivity boost or entertainment.

    I understand the negative sentiments, but LLMs are replacing human coding as we speak & largely have already outside of certain niche sectors. This is where we are, Valve engineers are certainly using LLMs as well. Sweeny is far worse than Gabe in everything, intelligence, political views etc, but that matters very little here. Everyone is vibecoding to a certain extent & I'm not sure what's better, actively promoting it or trying to pretend that you are not. The industry is gravitating toward the latter, because that's what seems to sell more for obvious reasons, but it's just theater.

    I still find it funny that in the distant past an engineer thought pasted commands should have some ~~ characters added, so the user has to delete them & think about their actions while pressing their arrow or various faster ctrl+ keys ..

    It's funny that someone did this & we all know it's crap, probably the Ai prompter / creator too.

    Even Windows is moving away from this exact thing right now, lol.

    It's pretty f. weird that Lisa Su is the CEO despite being so closely related to Jensen, I would dislike this if I were an AMD investor. However this is not a family monopoly, since neither Su or Jensen own these companies, not substantially anyway. (well below 1% & 3 something % owned respectively) Meaning of shareholders at large disliked Lisa Su's way of doing things, she would be booted without too many hurdles I would think & the same is true for Jensen.

    I wouldn't be nearly so confident that data centers in space are impossible engineering, but it probably won't happen in my lifetime or Elon's.

    I actually know someone who worked on the MIRI instrument & they keep going on and on about heat transmission in wiring being a huge challenge.
