Other AI search products are so good. I’m not sure why Google is still so far behind. You can feel Gemini struggle in in the new Siri too, it’s awful

If this is true how is it not fraud or just regular old theft?

I think what Martin is hitting on in the article is though is that as more and more of the world’s communication is generated by LLMs we’re naturally going to adopt LLM-Voice into our own communication style. It is just as much about consumption, which is less in your control.

There’s also an entire cohort who didn’t have the time to write that now do. They have some incredible, unrelated skill and can’t afford to hire a writer but need some writing done.

When I come across their slop I need to remind myself to let it go, else I’ll miss out enjoying the food from that Abuela who’s been cooking longer than I’ve been alive

It’s actually super detailed. That sentence might as well not exist

There are. Did I say there wasn’t?

I’m just saying some children are highly encouraged to isolate themselves, and it’s ironic that the blog post thinks that AI replacing these isolating activities (coding, chat rooms, etc) will isolate people. It will likely give people the space to touch grass

While that may be true it’s completely unrelated to AI. AI could free up time to socialize

Honestly this level of antisocial introversion is probably the product of being highly intelligent and being fed through a school system that pushes kids to study alone for tests rather than problem solve in groups

It’s funny reading takes like this from software engineers that think the only way to meet people is at school, work, and in… IRC chatrooms...what? People do go outside and socialize in other places.

I’ve literally seen this

Have you ever tried dragging that monitor and all those cables and peripherals into a Starbucks and camping there for 7 hours? This is a freelancer’s dream machine.

I got you, you’re right. implementing legislation around software would require appointing a board of experts to create the codes - like building codes. The board licenses the professional software engineers. They also receive complaints and discipline them. From there, legislation follows. The codes and rules of conduct provide the framework required for legislation. Legislation can’t exist in earnest without software professionals and codes.

There’s absolutely no reason why professionals at this pay grade and handling this much risk can’t be following this level of rigor.

It’s hilarious that I started this thread by saying that software engineers should start to be held liable like real engineers and in the replies we have somehow decided to use… Nazis… as the analogy? What?

This doesn’t need an analogy.

Why not just look up examples of engineers disclosing breaches of code/contract? Every state has lists of complaints brought to their engineering board with results and disciplinary actions.

Dude look at my original comment. Your reply is a tangent on a tangent and has nothing to do with it. It’s off-topic. If you want to talk about the H1B thing then go do that in another thread. That’s not what my comment is about.

Don’t assume I’m lacking empathy. The goal of holding engineers liable is to protect the public against malicious software. Protecting the engineers is unrelated to my comment. You can have both. In fact, real engineers are mandatory whistleblowers, and protected.

It’s funny reading the responses to my comment here. Most people assume

1. That professional engineers being liable somehow makes the firm they work for not liable. Both are liable.

2. The professional engineer isn’t responsible for breaches of code/contract their colleagues are committing. They are. In most jurisdictions a PE must disclose in writing and are liable for violations they witness.

It’s surprising how uninformed folks are about how rigorous engineering in the real world is.

If you think this is overkill or unrealistic you’re jaded. The privacy and security of the general public is on the line. If engineers and firms were liable for every data breach they’d cease to happen.
