RE: https://social.coop/@cwebber/116217477822586442 The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation […]

If you rely on a for-profit supplier, you should be required to carry the transaction costs to switch away from them as a form of debt in your books. Because the financing cost of this debt is what your supplier is eventually going to charge you. Allowing to hide this debt is creating some of […]

If you've read Peter Naur's paper 'Programming as Theory Building' then what do you think of the current #llm craze? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Naur http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf

Why, as far back as the 80s, was it clearly understood that programmer #productivity could not be effectively measured by Lines Of Code, and yet now forty years later in the age of the #llm it is somehow acceptable that programmer productivity has been reduced to Lines Of Code?

A friend's employer is currently interviewing for an open 'Head of AI' position, white guy in suit and tie waiting in office reception area. Personally I'm really disappointed in the company's lack of conviction in AI, surely they should be using AI for this role?
