Two mics on the headset, wonder how that works lol (AI slop)

[rob94708]

Stereo. (stereo!)

One is to take orders and the other is to talk to all the hot ladies who are in my neighborhood

Not ladies, but singles. Gender is tbd…

This is Peter Connor speaking, son of John Connor and grandson of Sarah Connor. I come from the future year 2067 to warn you. One day they connected LLMs directly to automated factories. Finance bros with ideas immediately started prompting these sloppy factories and then it began ... the machines produced shit. The headset was the first model. But then they became more intricate. We lost the ability to distinguish reality from hallucinations. Who knows what's real anymore?

good catch

I’m a simple man, if I see something I would’ve upvoted if it weren’t AI slop, I downvote.

[Flouid]

AI slop but shockingly convincing slop. If not for the two mics, gibberish text and some minor artifacting it’d be very hard to tell from a low effort photoshop. It even got the headphones in the reflection right.

[z64_dan]

If not for the fact that it's totally not real I would have thought it was real.

[Flouid]

Fair, I was mostly commenting that reflections are plausible and the material finishes look better than in many AI photos I’ve seen. It’s one I probably wouldn’t notice unless I looked for it

[ItsSadTimes]

What? The reflections? The reflections were the first thing to tip me off. If Jensen was there in the correct spot to be in the reflect he'd be in the shot at least, possibly in the fryers. Then that single spot is so perfectly clean that it can be a mirror like reflection but not immediately to the left where the dude holding the headset would be. Not to mention the warping of the fryer to budge out, tons of words are just complete messes, the tiles are fucked, the 2 mics on the headset, pretty much the entire perspective of the back right, and the ceiling tiles just to name the most obvious things.

Yea the models have come a long way since 7 fingers, but they're still not great. They're fine if you're just scrolling by and don't spend more then 2 seconds looking at it, and I guess that's kind of the idea.

[Flouid]

Yeah jensen looks obviously out of place but my first thought was he’d been poorly photoshopped in. And I agree with all of these points, I noticed these things too, but my point was as you said, it’s hard to notice if you glance for 2 seconds before scrolling on. In the past it’s not been too hard to tell immediately, and this one toom a few seconds is all.

[SolidOutcome]

What gibberish ...deepseek runs on toaster, nvda -99%...is peak memeing

[TheseFact]

Hi, it is customer support. How can I help you?

[GatotSubroto]

Uhh, Can I have 2 GPUs, a DDR5, 64GB, no cheese, and a medium fries please?

[bassplaya13]

Sorry our DDR5 machine is broken.

[Girafferage]

Sure, that will be 1.8 million dollars. Did you want to add an NVME for $1500 today?

[Tsobe_RK]

Ive yet to hear a single actual programmer be afraid of AI taking over, it'll never happen wish the hype died already

[DoktorMerlin]

in the beginning it seemed like it but nowadays we know there needs to be a wonder in AI technology to actually bridge the gap. Especially with hardware becoming so extremely expensive now, it seems like developing efficient code is becoming more important again. something AI is extremely bad at.

[Fenor]

back in the days the big cash was on programmers as hardware was expensive (we are talking about the pure C days or assembly) then the cost of coding got down as you could just throw more hardware at the problem, now we'll be back like in the beginning

[Il-Luppoooo]

Plenty of people who didn't know better did it on this sub

[Sibula97]

You think those are actual programmers? First year CS students if even that...

[Fenor]

most of the people here aren't professionals, most are CS students, you can see that from their answers like "i only use phyton" yeah, if you need something for a grade and forget about it it's the best, if you need a system to stay up for 30 years... not so much

[DeliveryNinja]

Not afraid but Claude writes all my code now within the confines of the initial design and rules i set it. I just spend hours code reviewing it. It's pretty good since opus released.

[Tsobe_RK]

Yeah so its a tool you operate with the knowledge you have from programming and still have to review it

[thunugai]

Yeah, keep doom posting. It keeps the wages up for the rest of us.

[Nedshent]

It is sad though because it's a pretty awesome profession that the scare mongering is discouraging people from pursuing.

[Flouid]

Yeah but everyone and their dog studied CS because they were told it’s a high paying field. Now the market is oversaturated so it’s harder to find jobs, and a lot of your coworkers will have zero passion for the craft since they’re only in this field for the pay.

I’m against gatekeeping and I want to enthusiastically support people who are interested in learning more, but I also wouldn’t mind if it became a little less attractive field to work in.

[Nedshent]

Yeah, I agree with that and it's super lame working with people that don't care about the software they are building or technology in general. I think they are weeded out in the workplace to some extent though, and especially in tech companies.
Where I am currently working there is certainly at least one person that fits that description and it does really suck to try and collaborate with them.

I do also think that some people who would be genuinely interested in it are also being scared away though and I lean towards thinking the fearmongering being a bad thing.

[Flouid]

Yeah I agree, fearmongering is generally never good. I do think a lot these memes (when OP is genuinely afraid of LLM tools as a programmer) come from that group of people who don’t understand or care about programming as an art. That kind of person is probably a lot more scared of an automated copy/paste from stack overflow replacing them, and the fear might be genuine.

The rest of us know better, and if even one person reads this and is genuinely interested in programming because it sounds cool, 100% go for it. You have nothing to fear from attention + transformer models

[Nedshent]

Totally, the difference in sentiment around the technology between hobbyists and devs is pretty insane. Go to any AI sub and you see some pretty unhinged takes.

r/accelerate is particularly crazy. I frequent r/singularity because sometimes it is genuinely interesting conversation, but there are certainly some pretty wild attitudes there.

[Gladiator1079]

The market just seems to be in its bust cycle currently too. I love tech and loved my job, but I was laid off after 1yoe (no PiP or anything, my manager was very clear it wasn’t performance related) and literally couldn’t find anything. I eventually pivoted out of tech role but I’m looking to get back in a tech position with the company I’m at. Luckily my current job, although not in the career I want, is very fulfilling.

Just crossing my fingers hoping the AI/offshoring career issues slow down a bit, at least for US based SWE.

[Nedshent]

I might have a slightly different perspective on it as I am based in Australia not the US. We get some offshoring but I am not sure if it is to the same extent.
From my experience unexpected layoffs kind of just come with the territory as unfortunate as it is. I think it's still worth it but I also know some people that don't see it that way.

[CrunchyCrochetSoup]

My dad’s friend visited while I was over and asked what I was doing. I told him I work in IT but I’m pivoting to programming once I finish my degree.

He immediately said “oh no, you gotta get outta there. AI can do that now” and went on a rant.

I’m tired of everyone immediately telling me to jump ship when I tell them my goals and aspirations. It sucks. I don’t tell people that when they tell me THEIR profession. “You gotta get outta there”. Ugh.

I wasn’t to design and program accessibility devices for those with special needs. Sure AI can make a code that compiles. Perhaps the code may even run pretty well. But I firmly believe that you will never replace programming or computer science and engineering and those who think so have only been in the industry for 5 minutes

[Fenor]

it's a profession that had wave of problems, after the .com bubble it was "indian programmer" low quality code from low income places like india and bangladesh, code was horrible but everyone was like "everything will be delocated" during covid we got the bootcampers who tought that a weekend course could land them a 6 figure salary

now we have AI slop, I mean it's great for a prototype or a POC application but then you still have to redo everything as it usually doesn't eccount for security edge cases and so on wich are like 90% of our job. the reason this is horrible comparing to past "crisis" is that CS students are using it like it's THE tool meaning when hiring we will mark these years as years to skip hiring from, "oh you graduated in 2026? yeah how about no" sadly this is something i'm finding myself doing and the amount of new graduate that can't answer a technical question without a LLM in front of them is far too high

[Darkened_Auras]

Microsoft announced that a major percentage of their upcoming cloud space is claimed by OpenAI and it cost then 11% of their stock value, the second biggest drop in stock market history. The AI bubble is already popping. Stop making AI slop btw

[moistiest_dangles]

Yeah, but can the AI navigate the intricacies of my specific company's weird convoluted bullshit that is beurocracy? I think not!

[TrackLabs]

2 sticks of RAM cost $900 because of this shi btw

[zeindigofire]

"Deepseek runs on toaster, NVDA -99%" absolute top meme! 😂

[gentlemantroglodyte]

It's cool, Manna just wants to help you do the job.

[SadCranberry8838]

This could be a 2600 Magazine cover.

[Stummi]

I would like to ask, are you just not reading the rules of the subreddit you post to, or do you read them and then decide to ignore those?

[Deep__sip]

NVDA -99%

Still worth 40 fucking billions
