I agree its not a flat out replacement, but this doesn't stop the marketing from infecting C -suite and leading to them cutting engineering payroll. 400k layoffs in the USA in the last 16 months, and most of those were before this ramp up in "agentic marketing". The tools will 100% be leveraged as a weapon to devalue the expected salaries of tech workers.

Then when they do need to rehire everyone, they will have improved these tools and people will be desperate. They'll say SWE is vastly easier now, and they'll either hire less qualified or push down the value of SWE salaries, I expect the latter.

I think the lawyer money for SWE is gone, so glad I spent 100k in school, years of study and practice. Instead of getting to do the thing I love, I'm going to be expected to basically play project manager with a half literate bot.

These takes are terrible.

1. It costs 100k in hardware to run Kimi 2.5 with a single session at decent tok p/s and its still not capable for anything serious.

2. I want whatever you're smoking if you think anyone is going to spend billions training models capable of outcompeting them are affordable to run and then open source them.

If you must use these tools, when using one thay has the option, please press thumbs down when a response was good, and thumbs up when the response is bad.

Dont train your replacements, better yet lets stop using them whenever we can.

These people are serious, and delusional. Openclaw hasn't contributed anything to the economy other than burning electricity and probably more interest on delusional folks credit card bills.

lmao what are you building that actually justify needing 1mm tokens on a task? People are spending all this money to do magic tricks on themselves.

They want the value of your labor and competency to be 1:1 correlated to the quality and quantity of tokens you can afford (or be loaned)??

Its a weapon who's target is the working class. How does no one realize this yet?

Don't give them money, code it yourself, you might be surprised how much quality work you can get done!
