Way too soon to know. I see it supercharging people still. We're all waiting for that one big moment when autonomous AI breaks something important and how it gets handled in the courts. Or when a person blames AI for something breaking even. I have zero doubt AI in the hands of a physicist is powerful, but until it's somehow finding the future in current and past data, I'm skeptical. This coming from someone that ChatGPT Year in Review told me I was a top 15% user last year.

The same will apply to regular engineering as well. Given design specs and regulations, there is no reason to assume the same cannot be done there too.

Give this a listen, then mock it, dismiss it and hope.




All I know is AI is really bad at writing robust code.

AI also isn't much use offline.


Considering the fact that every tech company is now heavily using it for code, this is clearly and obviously false and out of date.

AI is a really good idea.

Have you seen how bad websites have gotten lately?

The companies relying on AI are doing terribly.
I'm not saying it can't lay a framework quicker than I can, but squishing bugs? Nope. Not a chance.

Well, the entire programming world disagrees with you, and Anthropic, maybe the hottest company on earth right now, used AI to write 100% of the code for their latest product (Claude Cowork) and definitely isn't doing terribly, but I'm sure you're right and they're all wrong.

Who?

And, how do they fare offline, again?

If you haven't heard of Anthropic, then your opinion on AI coding tools is under informed

I remember when the pencil-necked geeks were predicting we would all be flying around with jet packs on our back and in flying cars.

They aren't. Don't be fooled by press releases

microsoft claims 50% code written by AI but hiring 10000 engineers in India ha ha

Lots of 60+ suckers to sell snake oil to.

The entire economy is going to collapse into the limitations of physics. How will you know it made a mistake? It will be obvious, because it doesn't work. The scorecard is its alignment with physical laws.

Been prepping with lots of little bottles of booze for currency. Now I am hoarding 1GB SD cards to hand out like candy to the little AIs. Plan is to be they/their king.

Give them "RAM chips" as treats like Gypsy, Crow, Tom Servo, & Cam-Bot.

Each human only gets one good attempt at breaking the physical laws. AI can do it over and over again.
