ugh, why would i want a summary of a pull request? the whole point of reviewing a pull request is checking the details to make sure it's not missing something important or doing something wrong.

Ignoring the lack of direction following, everything looks so plastic. Probably video game cutscene training showing through.
From the perspective of the company I work for (not a tech company, but has a pretty large development center) they truly believe that AI will 10x productivity. Not so much the FOOM stuff. Just typical Capitalism.
They would like to describe what they want and receive Whatever — some beige sludge that vaguely resembles it. That isn’t programming, though. That’s management, a fairly different job. I’m not interested in managing. I’m certainly not interested in managing this bizarre polite lying daydream machine.
This is where I am right now. They are pushing AI hard at work, even shaming people that haven't signed up for copilot. They brought in some MS rep to tell us how the future of work was going to be wrangling AI agents. This is not the future that I want.
I'm reminded of that Folding Ideas video where he writes a book for some get rich quick book mill scheme. I bet that stuff is all AI now.
It's this. He doesn't care about the details, he just wants the trivia. He's not interested in understanding anything, he just wants the power point version of reality. Cliff's notes for reading assignments in school.
yeah it's going to be the same scam only this time without those pesky regulators checking to see if it actually works and spooking the investors
it's interesting that Yud doesn't realize that Cyc is basically what he thought Lenat should have done with Eurisko
~100 snake oil salesmen agree that this here elixir will cure all your ills!

only if, you know, your public statements contain lots of damning things

Very similar situation to mine, but i went into electronics engineering instead of CS because i didn't think i would like to write software for a living. I now write software for a living, go figure.
Also agreed on the "doing it" thing. I hear people around the office talk about letting AI write things for them and i'm like no, i want to write it myself. i like doing things.
