Water?

Now we must go to war.

I’m sorry you felt condescended to, but I don’t see what “the shit” here is. The author of this thesis has an agenda, and much nonsense has been spilled by people who do not deserve a platform.

Do you mean automation in general? Yes we’ve been automating everything for a long time, and LLMs are another step in that line — but as someone who works with them every day and is still heavily hiring with large salaries — the “depression” isn’t from LLMs as a tool, or a threat to replace humans, but from a heavy handed directive foisted by executives who no longer know what grass looks like anymore.

Its the inversion of skill in the workplace where senior reviewers are at the mercy of early career developers who used to be constrained by their talent level — now unleashed by LLM to generate slop they can barely control, the most talented seniors are being crushed by slop while trying to keep the lights on, while management is laying off the same and rewarding the slop makers, so they can collect huge bonuses and move on before the load bearing engineers give out.

This is a management problem at publicly traded companies. And that is “the shoe in the other foot”? If you say so.

Mark my words — by the time token prices stabilize to reflect their actual cost, there will be more software engineers being employed in the world — with LLMs as a tool.

Right, and you’re claiming entertainment is now more stable or lucrative than computer programming?

Those are two completely different sentences.

And I’m not sure why the shoe is on the other foot. The metaphor doesn’t make sense. You’re saying that people who want a stable career should go into entertainment?

People told you “Did they not think to develop a practical skill in case this fad died” a handful of years ago?

I call bullshit — that sentence doesn’t even make sense.

Vim. Done.

Bless you. And remember there’s enough love for you out there in this world — hiding where it may.

Only virtual hugs.

I’m sorry for your loss. Love from an internet stranger and a dad.

Hugs from an internet stranger and a dad…
