    I hope when he gives his lecture, the students egg him on.

    And when I say egg him on… I mean throw. At. And a large quantity of.

    “Humans aren’t evolved to process that much change,” he said, adding that the scale of the change is unlike anything the world has seen.

    LOL, your massive plagiarism boxes are not that impressive, you pompous shit.

    From the banchode who had uBlock Origin killed from running on regular Chrome 150 because he thinks it’s killing his profit from ads.

    And of course throwing in AI shite into Chrome with that awfully huge 4gb unwanted addition.

    “Now it’s your time to realize your dreams,” he told graduates. “The timing could not be more perfect.”

    My dream is a world without ultracapitalist CEOs.

      My dream is that when I search something on the web I get results 100% arranged on relevance with no commercially motivated rearranging of results. I also dream about ad free OSs, but that one came true for me back in 2005 (thanks Linux!).

      Luigi is an automatic upvote. Innocent though he may be. Which he is, innocent. I’m serious, the cops are full of shit, on everything, a manifesto? Gtofo of here, we all wrote that shit after, because health insurance is the devil.

      Do you side with Jesus or the Devil?

      “These graduates are actually both going to be a big part of driving that progress and also dealing with the impact,” he added, referring to AI.

      Out of context it sounds like a threat, but in connect it just sounds like vacuous CEO-speak, designed to respond to the question with some words while not actually answering the question.

    I look forward to AI slop making the next group of senior software engineers make complete crap because they have no idea what good software actually is.

    There’s going to be another market for consultants cleaning up these moron’s mess once again.

      Well, think of the bigger picture. After 3-4 generations, there won’t even BE consultants to clean up the mess. No one will know how to code at all. It’s ALL going to be AI.

        There will be consultants. Most will be charlatans with an LLM, but there will always be a small number of people who learn the craft because they’re interested… and they will command high salaries by those who understand quality engineering.

        It’s not like this is the first time our society has done this. We did it to textiles, then we did it to farming in general.

        The difference here is that automation of thought is what’s being promised, but that’s not what’s being delivered. But then, for many of its applications, real thought was never needed in the first place.

        Anyway, back to my actual point: manual software development will become a niche hobby like using a hand loom. The skills will survive, but more as a curiosity than a common career path.

        I hope I’m wrong, but it all depends on how long it takes the bubble to burst. If the LLM companies get a critical mass of dependence before it does, this will be the result.

          I’ll believe that when I see software written by an LLM in production for 5 years. The code they write can’t really be iterated upon, so any time you want to alter behavior or refactoring, you essentially have to write that section again with the new design.

          Maybe that will pan out in time, but so far all I’ve seen is marketing out extremely far ahead of reality, and that’s with today’s VC subsidized pricing. It threatens to increase in price from here, and further advancement is expected by many experts to yield diminishing returns now that the training pool is exhausted.

    No.

    These graduates, and the incoming generation, won’t shape LLM’s and GenAI. Limpdick, loser fucking nerd billionaires will.

    The kids will be left with scraps, by design, and that’s the problem.

    Fucking delusional. I’m betting their “AI” will never live up to the promises, good or bad.

    It’s all hype to keep investors pouring in money in the hopes that the endless stream of money can fund the development of what they promise and tell us to fear.

    It’s a classic scam. “Big return, we promise. We’ll strike oil soon, we just need more money.”
