Without hype our companies would not pay for them :)

I wonder what notable thing has the "industry" produced during your observation (apart from more JIRA tickets).

There's something called RLHF.

you can do that in a python debugger?

Me when my manager asks to complete the JIRA ticket.

> algebraic + pattern matching

Functional programmers keep hyping up ADTs like this but the normie programmer doesn't care about ADTs or immutability. What really brought back static types was Golang & typescript, both have local variable type inference, good IDE support & other tooling, and (at least superficially) lighter weight syntax than Java. Normies don't care about algebraic types, pattern matching, immutability, referencial trasparency, type classes. What matters is libraries and tooling.

What if it writes to your .bashrc with a malicious alias for sudo?

I know that. Just pointing out your double standards compared to the holocaust.

> I've known people named Jihad.

I have known Indian / SE asian Ice cream shops named Hitler.

Thanks for correcting me -- the correlation is weaker than I would expect; though I will stand by my original commentary on the broader cultural issues.

It would be interesting to contrast how much of them are STEM vs other "real world degrees" that get a job (accounting, hotel management or whatever) vs the "liberal arts" degrees.

> The WEF report identified China, India, the United States, Russia, Iran, Indonesia, and Japan as the top seven STEM graduate-producing countries in the world.

I think the US (and probably Germany too) is an outlier here because of the number of immigrants who arrive to study STEM degrees.

Is that the excuse for the life of online dating apps and only fans? You're destroying the society which your "conservative" "backward" forefathers built.

> Number of scientists and engineers per capital is directly propotional to GDP per capital [1].

I meant the fraction. Do you have a plot of number of college gradutates on the same axes? I am sure it will be a steeper line.

AI Slop.

Not a single human I know talks like this.

"The uncomfortable truth"? If you're uncomfortable, get checked for piles.

You're not smart. You're a lunatic.

> Also - Codex now has 'Spark' which is on Cerebras, it's wildly fast - and this absolutely changes 'workflow' fundamentally.

In my AI coding experience, reviewing and making sure AI didn't screw up something (eg: by writing tutorial grade code) takes most of the time. It's still useful but I don't see how speeding up the non-bottleneck part can change the workflow fundamentally.

The ignorance of a company like PayPal is obviously bad.

That said, I think we need to have an equivalent of automated integration testing for security vulnerabilities.

Even if PenTesters (or whatever they're called these days) do some testing and uncover some bugs, the applications under continuous development will inevitably introduce "bugs" not seen before.
