High level languages pretty much killed the job market for assembly language programmers. AI is killing the job market for high level language programmers.

My take: It will be quite a few years before you can do 100% of your programming in AI prompts. OTOH, the day when your primary language of choice is something like Java or C# are numbered.

GeekWire · Coding is dead: UW computer science program rethinks curriculum for the AI eraThe University of Washington's Allen School is rethinking how to train the next generation of software engineers in an AI-dominated job market.

No matter their scale, neural networks are still statistical pattern matchers. And those patterns are still at times faulty or irrelevant, now just more intricate and more inscrutable than ever.

At this point the #AI Overview of google search is a security threat. It tried to convince @DanielG and me that the Pixel 7a has MTE, when in reality the feature first appeared on the Pixel 8 half a year later.
Someone could have bought the wrong @GrapheneOS device.

We will be AI-fucked.

We usually get registration requests for our Friendica (social.trom.tf) and a way to filter the bots out is to require that everyone sends the reason why they want to join our node before we approve or dismiss their request.

It was not very hard to tell if one is a bot since they would have generic messages. But recently we got variations of these messages:

i want to try friendica, and found out about trom.tf from this instance. looks like a cool place to start. already on fedi as @dispencer [catboy.baby]

Their email address is from disroot.org (@muppeth I think you are managing that project no?).

I thought it sounds legit if they also let you check their other fedi account. And so I did and this time their profile is a long blabbing one but at least admitting that they are "a thirsty little LLM" (Large Language Model).

So yah....we are fucked. These people are ruining the internet. We use our limited resources for good purposes to provide people with a trade-free [trade-free.org] social network. And now these people are infecting even these little projects....

Awful...

Ok so “they” want to buy #ai to write tests for code they write because “writing tests is repetitive and boring”. IDK but if writing tests is repetitive then maybe turning them into table based reusable thing is better than using computer on LSD workarounding all test failures and corner cases by simply excluding them?

I asked a few days ChatGPT: Count the letter a in the word “Saharasandsandala”. The word doesn't exist, but it sounds good and is understood as a sandal for the Sahara sand. But it doesn't matter for the task to understand the meaning of the word. It's just about counting the letter a. Anyone who knows the Latin alphabet and can count to 10 can do this. Even someone who doesn't know the script can recognize the letter a in the word and count it. ChatGPT cannot.

Фуфлонет набирает обороты...

Пара из Малайзии провела три часа в пути из Куала-Лумпура в штат Перак, чтобы посетить туристическое место, которое существует только в видеоролике, созданном с помощью искусственного интеллекта (ИИ).

South China Morning Post · Malaysia couple journey to tour site after watching AI-video, unaware it’s unrealCredulous elderly pair convinced by non-existent TV journalist that scenic cable car attraction is real, refuse to believe the truth on arrival at ‘resort’.

”We’re focused on how LLMs hallucinate, but maybe we should pay more attention to the ways we are being encouraged to hallucinate about them. The idea of “artificial general intelligence” or “conscious machines” is more an advertising strategy than a near term engineering reality.”
