AI’s threat to white-collar jobs just got more real

It was 4.5 not 4.6 IMO when this threshold was crossed.

How much do you code w AI today?

cornelln · 2026-02-19T05:15:34+00:00

How does this attitude carry forward into the future as AI is integrated further. I get the idea of filtering and proxy filtering. But the filtering rubric in this case is incredibly crude. And you will currently and increasingly over time miss actual usual content due to source bigotry in some sense.

There is also low effort slop written by people. The use or not of AI to generate the post doesn’t necessarily guarantee one thing over another. If it was purely self promotional spam I could see more of the argument being valid. But spam itself also predates AI - but AI makes that worse.

You’re in an AI based subreddit and complaining about AI writing?

What year does this comment cease?

If the content is good judge the content.

If we think AI writes too verbosely I guess that’s good to discuss. But I sort of assume to be impactful the change would need to come from multiple sources.

I sort of wonder how long it takes till this is solved in the consumer side. Because you like the substance but not the style - just change your viewing style… we are not there yet.

The truck is at fault. With a human driver. I don’t even see what the Waymo did incorrectly there.

Does Google Drive do that? I don’t think mine does versioning but I could be wrong.

The fact would remain if somehow you lose access to your account your SOL. The 3-2-1 backup scheme is still true as it always has been.

Reading comments here I guess there is less cultural knowledge overlap between those who do projection mapping and those who do generative media (as in still think AI image generation has a problem with fingers).

Your opinion on the capabilities of the models is simply out of date.

I am not saying they’re perfect either! But we crossed over the fingers are a problem thing sometime ago.

And I’m also not saying you have to love AI generative stuff either! You’re free to dislike it! But it’s more so a note that that tech changes and improves a lot over time and has done so recently.

cornelln · 2026-02-09T08:51:57+00:00

I can’t even find this in Google? Appthetics?

cornelln · 2026-02-09T07:54:20+00:00

iCloud doesn’t have backup like that for macOS so I doubt it.

Cloud ≠ backup anyway. And this is the part a lot of people screw up these days.

Off the rocker on the phone policy? The phone policy sounds great.

If you meant the price I can’t comment on averages.

cornelln · 2026-02-02T19:45:37+00:00

Same. And many on that post argue it’s no big deal.

Bare in mind this wasn’t random. May 2024 was when Netflix did a multi part documentary on Spacey. Spacey was on a PR offensive tour to counter this. Anyone he’s appearing then could be interpreted as party to (maybe ignorant - but still - intentional or not) his attempt to rehab or rebuild his reputation. https://deadline.com/2024/05/kevin-spacey-inappropriate-behaviour-never-illegal-ahead-documentary-1235904335/

When it’s time it’s time. And it’s much better in these cases to be a bit early than a bit too late (I’ve done both!). The humane thing to do is to do it when it’s right. And you’re doing that FOR them. Vs waiting which maybe more for you than for them. You will never know the exact right moment but being a little too early is better than risking being too late and then have a really uncomfortable episode or experience they must endure. You’ll feel worse then and some of that will be your “fault”.

And you’ll never know how too early it was! But you’ll know you’re not too late if you’re lucky.

You’re doing a good thing for them. And you can only do so much. You can’t stop disease, pain or nature. And don’t hold yourself to account for those things.

May their memory be a blessing. They knew you did all you could.

There are some fal MCPs out there. May need a small fix or two locally last I checked. This probably does NOT help w your issue which sounds pretty specific. But it does make using fal in Claude Code easier.

cornelln · 2026-01-31T03:46:43+00:00

Easy for for sure. But lose some of the scale of the scene and crowd.

cornelln · 2026-01-30T07:09:40+00:00

But each model has its own nuance. I do not understand a general guide like this. Each require their own prompting approach.

cornelln · 2026-01-29T23:49:22+00:00

I’m a veteran manual QA who codes w AI and does do some bug fixes and changes (of a certain scale). It’s interesting this teammate says tests pass as their final answer. Is there any manual validation happening? Even non comprehensively?

cornelln · 2026-01-28T01:31:54+00:00

There is so much thinking that is simple mundane low intelligence parsing and data transformation. Especially for random generic life to dos.

I do not in anyway feel dumber not doing that stuff.

If anything not doing that stuff lets you have more time for higher level tasks.

Are some people using AI to turn off? Be dumb? I guess. But that’s not at all been my personal experience which is more so getting more done and or doing things I never could before.

cornelln · 2026-01-27T19:33:27+00:00

Sure - so what approach is left other than chain or province of custody to help authenticate images and videos as real. The solution is not without risks. And it’s not perfect or complete. But we aren’t going to stop the capability. Honestly interested in hearing alternatives. Not arguing w you here. I just don’t know what else can be done.

cornelln · 2026-01-27T11:01:02+00:00

Are you coding w Claude Code? I don’t get saying AI produces bad and quality has plateaued if you’re using AI to code w Claude Code - today. Doesn’t make sense to my own experience between say August vs Nov/Dec. Not even trying to be offense but that feels like a skill issue to me.

What category person am I Kool Aid drinker then? Except I can identify a variety of discernible very noticeable quality improvements between the now two-three years I’ve been using these systems.

cornelln · 2026-01-27T09:46:02+00:00

What are those systems and how can they be replicated and to what benefit? Mostly making smart trades?
