Stuck in hell references to my job working with ----.
You might only die once, but you can suffer for a very long time before it.*
Which some already are.
With the successful results of our AI experiments in not only both coding, but also business reports. We don't see a need to hire nearly as many interns, or even need to hire more developers for the immediate future.
It's already changed our operations, the only problem right now is making sure the ai "brain" stays frozen, which I think llama 3.1 405B or something similar would solve ideally ? Though its also not clear if GPT-5/6 is so good, it doesn't matter.
The only thing we've noticed, is that you can't train people to use the AI effectively, driven senior devs and technical domain experts figure out how to optimize their own workflows very effectively. We've simply given them access to Enterprise ChatGPT, and given them the ability to create private actions to our internal api's. The scale is here is interesting, because it doesn't scale out to allow us to hire and train more people easily, instead it allows a solo dev/technical analyst to go 100x.
Being serious now, its clear the neural network AI's are incredible and amazing for technical users, but not nearly ready for generalized or uneducated users (or I guess journalists).
Do they need to be 100% error free before the general public can accept them and use them ? For me, it's already replaced the work I'd send to interns and I get BETTER results than those interns. So it's already a huge win. My team has already seen a programming improvement of 40% in speed, and less buggy code.
So is the benefits of the AI revolution really going to be captured by the ultra technical domain experts ?
What kind of coding tasks is Claude 3 opus doing for people ?
Good code in my systems are ones that don't need to be touched or read very often, and the fluid/unknowns parts are decoupled elsewhere. Sometimes business requirements issue, Sometimes difficult technical problem.
I think we are all ready seeing good results. I'm super interested in the next gen chips as well.

I know because they tried to make a deal with my company, we passed because social media data is infinitely more valuable.
They'll probably just lobby to change the laws, seeing this happen already.
At the core most technologies have been deeply rooted by intelligence agencies.
