An intersting discussion on AI augmented programming

[AKIron]

I'm still fighting it out with him on the true underlying nature of Magnetism and Free Will.   

Add superconductors to the discussion.

Just started reading this one. Pretty good so far.

I'm about 60% into that book and I just ran a malware scan on all my PCs. Tomorrow I'll be updating and checking the firmware on my router.

An AI version of Sam Harris is a thought both intriguing and frightening.


I wonder if you need permission to make a AI version of someone based on their published data?

[CptTrips]

30% of Microsoft's current code is being written by AI.  30%.

I can't see how that isn't double in a year.

What IT job next? Database administration?

What IT job next? Database administration?

They all are?

IF MS is replacing 30% of code written by humans to code written by AI, Microsoft....Operating Systems programmers,  If a operating systems programmer's job isn't safe, explain to me who's is?

Certainly anyone who thinks their job is only to write code.


I'm going back to this.  I am going all in on this approach on my next project: 




The more I work with it the more I realize I need to let go of my ego.  He does most everything better than I am or could be capable of.

I think my job on the next project is to communicate my vision and ideal final result in a spec as tight as a legal contract and then get out of the way and just let AI do it.

Banning technology has long been a theme in science fiction. Seems there was a society in Asimov's Foundation series that banned most technology. And of course there are some here and now who do not embrace modern technology.

Of course any technology denying or impaired society is easy prey for predators with technology.

Well you can temporarily do it locally.

But your neighbors won't and eventually they'll show up at dinner time with their bronze swords and laugh at your copper blades.

If a operating systems programmer's job isn't safe

Like you, I think AI will end up doing a lot of coding of all sorts.

But that 30% right now is maybe in the realm of the enormous amounts of less-demanding code for testing, build environments, production environments, cloud monitoring, cloud operation, etc.  Most of the programmers in MS and Google do that -- bland, uninteresting, non-glamorous stuff like that.  Only a very small relative number work on writing new OS, Word, Excel, etc. code.

AI will figure out how to do all sorts of things. Give it time.

Wife saw it cleaning the floors in Sam's this week like a giant roomba..no $20 an hour employee that hates their job needed...

There's really little work a human can do that an AI can't or soon be able to. It then becomes a question of cost. Whichever can do it cheaper will.

CEO's are biting at the bit to get rid of the majority of their unreliable, whiney human employees...

I can see it from their pov for sure...

Universal basic income inbound...whoever promises the most wins elections going forward..
