ew.
VogiIt’s so weird, i read this in a bunch of jon listings nowadays. How the fuck is it a requirement?!?! You should be fluent in CPP, but also please outsource your brain and encourage the team to do so as well. People are weird man.
FauxLivingYeah, what does GOG know?
The real source of wisdom is social media users who approach a topic with bad faith, outrage farming framing. I mean just look at the upvotes, and you can easily tell how right you are, it’s basically science.
It’s lemmy. Average user is more technical than the average big company recruiter.
We are past chatbots in programming for a while now. It’s llms with tool calling capabilities now which work in an agentic loop. LLMs are extrapolators so the input context is important (extrapolating from missing information leads to hallucinations). With this workflow the LLM can construct its own context by using tools which leads to better results.
I haven’t met a lot of people who actually understood machine learning that say things like LLMs ‘a known scam’.
I agree that the industry, is massively overhyping the future capabilities of this kind of software in order to maintain their valuations… but the framing that AI (neural network-based machine learning) is useless is social media brain rot, not an accurate survey of the state of machine learning.
