  That’s very hard to believe, and may not be a very good metric for how much effort is actually saved. Like sure, I can have ai generate code, but I often have to spend a bunch of cycles to get it to generate it correctly, and then I feel like the chance of subtle bugs goes up

  But yes, how well you can use AI as a coder is increasingly a mandatory skill, and we may as well get used to gdp/productivity rising

  I’m super fucking tired of having zero privacy. The fact that governments&corps can access records of everyone’s phone locations, their data, and communications — is frankly absurd

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long do you think until AI writes and debugs code better than the average programmer?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah not soon, 3-10 years I’d guess. The latest research tracking AI growth says that our best models can solve entry level CS problems at 85% success. That’s not good

  It’s obvious that humans do more than just pattern matching. I think I would rate the current systems as a 25% speedup to my workflow, not bad, but only for menial tasks
