Yes, but we can see current progress and extrapolate into the future. I give it 2/3 years before AI can code as well as a senior level coder

Yes. I know what you’re referring to, but you can’t ignore the pace of improvement. I think within 2-3 years we will have AI coding that can do anything a senior level coder can do.

Again, the question is for how long

Exactly! We’ve been seeing more and more posts like this, saying how AI will never take developer jobs or will never be as good as coders. I think it’s some sort of coping mechanism.

These posts are gonna look really silly in the not too distant future.

I get it, spending countless hours honing your craft and knowing that AI will soon make almost everything you learned useless is very scary.

People are definitely starting to get white savior fatigue these days. Several comments like this in response, whereas in the past you’d seen none.

It’s so stupid. I get the emperor has no clothes vibe from all of this

I don’t think AI is a bubble at all, but openAI is.

This is such an obvious jump the shark moment for openAI.

These types of puffery acquisitions, with a former “legend”, announced with such gusto, have never materialized into anything.

You’re not gonna get breakthrough products like this. Breakthrough products just appear unexpectedly, they’re not announced a year or two ahead of time.

There is no way civilizations make it past a certain point. It’s so completely obvious, just look at our world. In 2025 we are enabling a genocide while the masses don’t seem to care or even know about it.

You think the people that are having these types of atrocities committed against them would think twice about ending civilization as revenge if given the power? What do you think is going to happen with AI?

If we can’t stop a genocide, why would you think we can stop civilization ending?

If past human behavior is any indication, way worse.

All I see here is coping by developers. You all are so blind to what’s coming.

Let’s not forget, if you relied on hacker news to give you accurate takes on things, you would’ve never bought bitcoin at one cent.

The US

How terrible is our healthcare system? There should be automatic alerts when a blood test returns dangerous levels like this

Mother jones used to be an awesome magazine before they went full woke and developed Elon derangement syndrome

Lmao, I’m in the exact same situation as you.

These people probably have never even tried FSD. They have no idea

We shall see…

Very true, the only reason I didn’t buy bitcoin at $1 was because of hackernews comments, I thought these people were smart about technology.

Thankfully I got my bearings right and bought at $250 and still holding.

HN commenters are notorious for being wrong, almost every successful unicorn, if you go look at the early comments about them, HN top comment is usually dead wrong about them

It's so funny to see the mental gymnastics and just plain ignorance. We literally have videos of FSD V13 doing basically what Waymo does (and more - like highway driving), yet they all have their heads in the sand.

You're looking at the wrong stuff....

Ok let’s bet then. Easy money

I would so love to do a bet with you, easy money. I’ll even take 2 to 1 odds

I can’t wait to see how badly this comment ages

You have it wrong buddy. Tesla is the one that needs competition, they’re going to have a robotaxi monopoly soon.

The difference is that it’s not Elon saying this anymore. It’s the actual beta testers, and other people that work at Tesla saying this.

The Elon hate is so ingrained here, people are ignoring what’s happening right in front of their eyes.

You are exactly right. Look at how you’re getting downvoted.

It’s so disappointing that this so-called tech community is so deranged because of their hatred of Musk so much that they’re not willing to look at the facts.

If it was any other company doing what Tesla is doing with their self driving, the comments here would be completely different.

How about this?

Tesla’s latest FSD beat Waymo by 30 minutes. Same route and same time of day.

It also expands the market. Currently bus riders can’t afford to take Ubers but would prefer to. People that would rather take Ubers than walk or bike, and people who would rather give up their car and do uber full time.

This will all be possible with low cost autonomous transport

I can’t believe the level of ignorance I’m seeing in these comments.

The driver is THE overwhelming cost of a taxi/uber. What are you talking about?

Your problem is you’re not seeing past the costs of a Waymo vehicle with all its sensors and LiDAR, plus all the costs of keeping high definition maps updated, and having teleoperaters on hand.

Tesla doesn’t have those costs. Their FSD version 13 already drives close to a Waymo of not better in some circumstances. its a done deal, Tesla has won this game

From the article:

To some extent, this has already happened: Many news organizations, such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, have placed their curated content behind paywalls. Meanwhile, misinformation festers on social media platforms like X and TikTok.

This is the opposite of what’s true. NY times has lied us into every war and covers up for genocide for gods sake

There’s a lot of ignorance in these comments. do people not realize that Waymo and the other full self driving companies have tele operators as well?

It’s a back up system in case The vehicle gets stuck. Simple as that.
