"the part of the profession that attracted them in the first place is being removed or fundamentally altered"

Personally, I experienced something different. Before AI, it was the managers who gradually took away the joy and tried to fundamentally alter the profession... AI brought much of the joy back. Until some upstream roles discovered AI and used it as leverage to send larger volumes of bullshit downstream. I got away, sadly some people could not.

sorry, reviewer. Github issues used by implementer and reviewer for back-and-forth

ok -- I am currently quite impressed with a dedicated verifier that has large degree of freedom (very simple prompt). At least when it comes to backend work.

I think you should have a reviewer as well.

I think he is right here, but it is interesting to see that Gary Marcus is transitioning to AI too (writing style...)

> "You don’t learn to recognize good code by reading about it in a textbook, or a PR. You learn by writing bad code, getting it torn apart, and building intuition through years of practice."

I'd like to point out though, that you also learn by AI producing bad outcomes you are responsible for, and building intuition how it might fail through practice... You also might experience more lessons than you would have if you would have coded manually.

Kind of signal that we do not want to pay for our surveillance ourselves. I did not write funeral though.

Sorry, despite the public statements of some sort of solidarity with Anthropic by sama this looks like a plot to take over from losing position.

Sadly it would be very difficult for Anthropic to relocate to another country with their IP, models, and infrastructure.

(Guess I need to build everything I intended this year in a weekend.)

yeah, no problem, I made a lame joke in frustrating situation. I would very much like the petition to have en effect.

Sounds very much like "Department of War" designating humans a supply-chain risk.
