No, it doesn't free up anyone, because it's not actually capable of replacing human effort (unless that effort involved generating gobs of useless slop, I guess).
It does, however, have an impact on jobs insofar as many CEOs, managers, and the like have decided (without evidence) that they can cut labor costs with it. Many such companies that have done so are starting to pay for their hubris, however.
It's all pretty gibberish. It's just unabated OOP nonsense that doesn't serve any real purpose and is incredibly difficult to maintain (unrestricted global mutation is never a good idea).
I didn't jump to any conclusions. It was abundantly clear that what I was writing was hearsay based on secondhand information.
From the other comments, it sounds like it's opt-out for the free tier.
It's not talking about a doctorate, it's talking about actually taking education (of all levels) seriously because education is the primary means by which a populace becomes in innoculated against mis/disinformation.
Right, and if the moderation allows Nazi ideology to run rampant, you have a Nazi town. Especially when it's all mostly bots spewing Nazi talking points anyway.
Refusing to fight hate speech is tantamount to supporting it.
Isn't it already basically Nazi town?
Actually typing out code has literally never been the bottleneck. It's a vanishingly small amount of what we do. An experienced engineer can type out bash or Python scripts without so much as blinking. And better yet, they can do it without completely fabricating commands and library functions.
The hard part is truly understanding what it is you're trying to do in the first place, and that fundamentally requires a level of semantic comprehension that LLMs do not in any way possess.
It's very much like the "no code" solutions of yesteryear. They sound great on paper until you're faced with the reality of the buggy, unmaintainable nightmare pile of spaghetti code that they vomit into your repo.
LLMs are truly a complete joke for software development tasks. I remain among the top 3-4 developers in terms of speed and output at my workplace (and all of the fastest people refuse to use LLMs as well), and I don't create MRs chock full of bullshit that has to be ripped out (fucking sick of telling people to delete absolutely useless tests that do nothing but slow down our CI pipeline). The slowest people are those that keep banging their head against the LLM for "efficiency" when it's anything but.
It's the fucking stupidest trend I've seen in my career and I can't wait until people finally wake up and realize it's both incredibly inefficient and incredibly wasteful.
shit* FTFY
Yet another reason why :set autoread kinda sucks and shouldn't be used.
Everything has to be compiled on Gentoo, right? So would the many binary nix packages even work?
