The most underrated skill isn't knowing how to use every new tool - it's knowing which ones to ignore so you can actually get some work done. #SoftwareDevelopment

I really don't get it - why is writing prompts, creating skills, building loops, and basically taming a non-deterministic beast better than simply writing a program and getting deterministic results?!
No sh*t, Sherlock?!

#Anthropic accidentally shipped 500k+ lines of #Claude’s Code code in a debug file. Within hours: millions of views, tens of thousands of forks, full rewrites in Python and Rust. Mirrors on IPFS as well. The real twist? It had a feature to prevent leaks.

@AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space Well, templates, preprocessors, and code completers have existed for quite some time. I really don't see why those just aren't sufficient anymore?!

@ghost_shit I concur, but having been in software development for more than three decades, I didn't want to generalize - so I decided to stay in my lane.

P.S. It’s an exquisite film I had the chance to see even before Belgrade FEST ’96 (its first screening in Yugoslavia). I watched it on some crappy cam-recorded bootleg VHS with disastrous subtitles. Kudos to the (unknown) crew who made that bootleg possible.

"AI compute is uneconomical, it has been affordable or even free for users because it's been heavily subsidized by either VC money (e.g. OpenAI) or other parts of the business (e.g. Google). Neither one is sustainable, but the former has a due date measured in months." #q

This https://xcancel.com/GergelyOrosz/status/2038985760175505491 thread actually tackles some serious issues with #GenAI and #copyright as we know it:
• Should #AI-generated code be eligible for copyright?
• If you take code and rewrite it using a clean-room approach, does that violate copyright and/or licensing terms?
• Does GenAI enable individuals or organizations to "launder" intellectual property?
New research from BCG reveals why task automation doesn’t have to mean job loss and how leaders can successfully navigate this workforce transformation - "[...] 50% to 55% of US jobs could be reshaped over the next two to three years."

@Justice30 …and somehow we can't even manage to land on the Moon anymore. But sure, we have "more important" things to focus on. I'm afraid humanity will be remembered (if at all) in the history of the universe as a species capable of magnificent achievements - but one that ultimately settled for consumerism. 😔

It's depressing to see #Polymarket and #Kalshi framed as anything more than gambling and unfair gambling at that, since insider information gives some participants an obvious advantage.
