Why hire devs? Dev is solved. Why hire mathematicians? Math is solved. Why hire managers? We have agentic assistants now.
It's because they are selling a tool that still needs people to use it.
This is the most insane perspective, it's like you have now idea what is happening across the industry. In you fantasy world here, are you saying devs are just yeeting slop into production, no debugging, no profiling, no code review, just prompt to prod? Because that's not happening.
Two possible paths lead to their cheating code getting into a release. Either it was added by coding agent and no one looked at it, bad, but worse would be that a person was aware of it and approved - that's malicious.
Either way you don't want to be platforming the product because neither shows any degree of responsibility.
To the person at amazon that thought this was a good press release to put out, I know this is what you were hoping for, so here it is, "wow, so cool". Not sure why, but AI really has everyone running around with desperate loser aura.
Maybe next time, do better, actually patch some things so your customers are covered?
If that's the case, that's the primary example that I've seen in many places.
I'm with you here, just asking what the proposed stack is here, which you did not include.
If I understand correctly you're saying custom agent and possibly locally run open model, or are you saying no to all LLM / agent use outright? Either is fine, I'm not here to tell you're wrong, I'm just curious about what others are doing.
Have you seen the benefit of the churn of 1000 PRs a day?
Honestly not sure that there are that many effective changes a day given how little complexity there is to their public facing product.
But those data centers? Craters. Wouldn't be surprised if China buys them up for cents on the dollar and run expensive, polluting ops out of them instead of in China.
Maybe the next solution in search of a problem that anthropic and any other frontier data harvester should be looking to solve is accurate attribution to those "inspirations".
Either these mathematicians thought it would never come for their jobs, because all of these other jobs were simpler or they've been living under a rock.
Either way, I don't feel for them any more than I do for all of humanity.
You spin up your amazing startup in a day, full product and site. It's got all the users embedded in a js file, but who cares. Until people find out. Then you task the agent with fixing it, it deletes prod. You start over again.
It's beautiful, if Disney make movie about this I want to be in the credits.
Literally solved with a DMZ around these agents. Want to get fancy? Put in a firewall and some metrics around traffic / domains with alerting.
It's not hard if you just try, like a little, like even once.
Atrocities on both sides don't negate that atrocities are happening.
Editors hold a high integrity position, these ones are not apparently operating with integrity.
This is the weirdest part, because you know, coding is solved, so anyone could create their own one, so why not publish it?
