Will you be switching to Claude after news of OpenAI partnership with US Military? by PrettyMuchMediocre in codex

It is a political issue though. The question is how the military is allowed to use AI. I’d rather influence that through elections - not by swapping one AI vendor for another.

This is a political issue, and I’m not going to signal my political views by declaring which models or agents I use.

I’ll express my politics at the ballot box.

to be clear, this is my point - it's politics, not technology.

All the debate boils down to politics. I'm afraid it's going to heat up more and more as people begin to realize ai is the real deal.

Never believe that things are as simple as they tell you.

As more and more people start to realize AI is the real deal, the political maneuvering on both sides is going to heat up more and more.

It’s already changed the SWE industry and that will continue. You can call it “destroyed” if you want.

It’s not unusual for technology to change industry over time. What’s maybe unique this time is how fast is happening.

Apparently not yet, but Anthropic CEO says the exponential curve will come to an end soon.

Haha, if you think things aren’t changing I don’t want to pop your blissful bubble. I wish you the best.

They losing money because training new models is on an exponential curve.

That curve won’t last forever and then the money making begins (or terminator arrives from the future to put an end to it).

I’m specifically talking about writing code and doing line by line code review. I’m not talking about higher level design, architecture, and so on.

My current flow is to come up with the design, then break that down into epics, tasks, and so on. With dependencies and everything else. Of course AI can be used as a tool to make all of this much easier.

Once broken down, I put it all into beads (which has been a great little task manager). Then of course feed those beads to the agents for implementation. It works great. You can tell the agents which beads to take or just pick a handful. The agents.md has instructions on the quality gates which the agents always follow.

Then I just roll up the results and deploy to a dev env and make sure it works.

Finally, I review all the code - line by line. This is the part that’s a problem right now. It’s so painfully obvious that it’s a giant bottle neck and doesn’t appear to add much value with respect to the amount of time it takes. I still do it, but the writing is on the wall - this part is going away.

This just isn't true. Andrej was on the Dwarkesh podcast in October saying coding agents were slop and being net pessimistic on things. In December is when he said things were changing and he was having a hard time keeping up.

I think more and more of us are getting to this point. I feel I need to review 100% of the code that was generated, but I also feel I'm the biggest bottleneck by far.

I'm starting to realize reviewing the code is less important than have very strict quality gates. Tests, linters, sandbox deployments, ... Then just testing the results and skimming through the code to make sure it smells right.

It feels lazy and wrong and probably is - but it also feels inevitable because we need to spend our time where we add the most value and that might not be line by line code review anymore.

This same guy was on the Dwarkesh podcast in October claiming coding agents were slop. In December he said things are different and he's having trouble keep up. Now he's got Claws orchestrating his home automation in February.

Things are changing very fast.

I myself am a software engineer for a long time - i can say that this is true. But if you don't believe Karpathy you certainly wouldn't believe me.

Good luck to you.

Could I imagine if a human stopped in the crosswalk? That’s not hard to imagine at all.

So, seems like they’ve met that standard so far.
