Actually interested in a detached sense over the mental gymnastics that are going to go on if/when Trump does go do an explicit war crime.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s horrific, but I’m kind of out of “horrified” right now.
So, good news, Bitcoin and LLMs are going to take a massive hit.
Bad news, this is due to oil, liquid natural gas and helium supplies being deleted, and we’re likely to end up with some sort of rationing for… well… everything (plus you damn well know they’ll fence off a guaranteed supply for data centres while the rest of us can’t heat our houses).
I need to create a page in confluence. Fine.
Click the “add” button.
Almost click out of muscle memory.
“Page” is three lines down, under “create with Rovo” and “Live Document”.
No, I do not want to have to parse the design I want into natural language, for the LLM to get it wrong and then need re-prompting five times.
There’s a product designer or executive out there who needs some sort of karmic retribution.
Feels like the sort of action Crawley from Good Omens would take, creating low grade pain for thousands of people.
At one point we at least attempted to build software that people wanted to use, not whatever the hell this bullshit is.
If I was Trump right now I’d be gearing up to deploy nuclear weaponry.
Well. Fuck.
We can only hope that the remaining sycophants and army leaders have an ounce of humanity left.
Go hug your loved ones.
Sitting around wondering if there’s a problem solving career I can shift into that isn’t going to be surrounded by people hyper ventilating over how LLMs are going to take over any interesting work.
I love the fact that I can no longer trust the output from people who I used to consider competent because now I need to filter it for LLM bullshit.
Plus, if you can’t be bothered to write it then why the hell should I bother to read it? Or in more practical terms, the cost asymmetry created disproportionately shifts the cost of validation onto the consumer.
….
Doing support and dying inside when a “senior” engineer is replying to the customer with what appears very strongly be LLM generated bullshit.
Which is incorrect.
But appears very convincing.
And knowing, just knowing, that this is my competition and that the cost asymmetry amplifier that is Cursor is going to make this miserable.
I want out of this career. Maybe there’s a position as a llama farmer available somewhere.
I’m only half joking. Fuck this timeline.
But, no, seriously, if I was Trump I’d be attempting to build an AI data centre that I had total control over and then hand over all control of the government to an LLM running on those servers, and I’ve been pretty on point so far.
Wonder when we’re going to find out about this the hard way.
Kind of conspiracy flavoured, but very believable.
Think we’ve found the place where they hand over control of the nuclear arsenal to a chatbot and it decides to nuke Australia to win the war against the emus.
