Extremely relevant for about half or more of blog posts submitted here. Honestly has become a sad state of affairs

Pretty much the whole thing. Also I checked just now and the AI detection services say its from 60-90% AI written lol

Is it just me or is this article itself AI? Or is everyone just adopting the AI tone and writing style now?

Certainly not declining consumer spending. Couldn't be that

Pretty wild that the international community tolerates this. Realistically this should catalyze a UN intervention.

Not trying to be a jerk but at this point SRE is my main use case for heavy LLM stuff. It's pretty awesome at that. Deployments and CI pipelines have become a breeze. I used to have to ask DevOps for that and wait days. I have even let agents run deployments for side projects and they seem to do better work than most humans I've worked with. It's wild they will actually read all the logs and debug problems so fast. Not something we could ever keep up with.

The actual code and architecture is where it still lacking IMHO. Especially in rails... Like it will just build the least scalable features if you let it do it's thing. Ten queries for what could be one. No separation of concerns. Huge files, lots of duplicated code and then tens of thousands of units tests that just grow like a fatberg.

If your app does anything serious, if you have serious traffic... you are going to need to review each session finely (and your DB schema with each deploy). It could be that this is maybe an indictment of rails more than LLMs, I guess maybe time will tell.

We really need solutions like this if we are going to reverse atmospheric carbon the necessary amount to mitigate planetary catastrophe. Thanks for working on this. Good luck.

I can't imagine a worse use case for AI. Literally thought the title was a clown

It is extremely early days for these offerings. Synthetic ferts are a relatively mature technique and the related product offerings (which are now effectively commoditized) had state-subsidized R&D for several decades. Mycorrhizal inputs have had a hundredth of the R&D and only been used commercially for a few years at best.

Its not really a fair comparison. This is like comparing PDAs to desktop computers in 1991, and surmising that mobile devices are just marketing hype.

They just leave it in place mostly. Sometimes in big mounds that become berms over a few years. Discarding wood chips is actually very expensive.
