That was quite inspiring. So much hope for the future in all this AI doom and gloom.

A behemoth indeed but the numbers also tell an interesting story. For TV screen share, Youtube has ~13% of total US viewing time vs ~6% for Paramount/Warner. They also go into this merger with staggering debt which does not bode well.

No one used to care about elections in other countries, but it seems political polarization is truly globalized now. An election in one country seems to carry such heavy stakes for citizens elsewhere. Why? Transnational disinformation? Sad time.

A few things are true:

- He is not wrong and all programmers need to hear this

- He loves to hear himself talk

- A year or two from now he will run this video to admit he was wrong about something

13,000 tests. That tells you everything you need to know. It doesn't matter how experienced you say you are, if AI is doing all the work including writing and running tests because I know no human is actually reviewing these. I've recently found tests written by Fable that don't actually do anything in a very large codebase. My point is not to advocate for doing any of this manually, but to highlight one of the problems brought about by pumping out so much code.

I hate to sound cynical, but I don't know if bragging about being AI-native is something any of us should be doing. We're really just pulling a lever on a slot machine and crossing our fingers.
