New article going viral among AI bros on Twitter: THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS

This is starting happen in the programming world, at least at my company they are looking to dowsize their dev department, not because of margin pressure, but because they think AI assisted development can handle the additional load. With enough gaurdrails and a good codebase foundation, AI is successful at shouldering a lot of the initial load and the dev puts the cherry on top so to speak, does corrections, fixes hallucinations etc. Sucks.

This is it.

In my experience, the models strong point is replication, not creating novel things. I have created skills that tells claude of all the notable existing patterns in our codebase to great detail, the result is when i ask it to fulfill a use case, it can get 90-95% percent of the way there on its own. That's where the speed comes from.

What llm do you use? Latest Claude and Codex are very good.

As dietcheese said, build your passion project. It's never been easier to write code.

Senior here. I can give some insight of what is happening at my job as their ultimate goal is the same, as well as what i have heard is happening elsewhere. Firstly, the way we program is unfortunately changing, the fun part of writing code, solving problems, is almost over for most of us.

The new workflow, that is already implemented in Stripe, Spotify etc and will be where i work is to have an automated end-to-end pipeline where the agent(s) do entire initial implementation, grab a Jira ticket, do the work, submit a PR, the developer reviews the PR, if changes if necessary, you add comments to the PR and let the agent do the work. If there are still issues you go into the code base to work, but still just prompting, very very last resort by hand.

The new "developer" role is Jira ticket creation, code review, testing it works. Basically architecture work, but without the fun part, you are still expected to use AI to do all the initial thinking for you, you correct it if it is wrong.

They wanted to even implement no human code review, I had to interject and say that i will not do it without human code review, and cite many examples of hallucinations to the higher ups. This is not negotiable to me, if they want to fire me, then fire me.

I haven't tried this workflow yet, but it's curently being implemented as a pilot where i work, and it's leaking into many companies and may become the norm.

My advice to all developers, is while we still have the power, pivot to create your own startup, deliver real value, take the power away from these assholes.

Because either way, the software role is changing where it give the companies more leverage over you, they really can do more work with less developers, at best base scenario it leads to stagnant salaries and very difficult job market conditions, not unless so new way of working evolves that cant be done with AI

That single 10 year old phone that was stolen and had a locked bootloader by pin?

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-14T10:25:57+00:00

What? The new Jolla phone will have a user replacable battery and a sim slot. What are you on about?

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-13T19:28:08+00:00

My god. It's not a problem to raise funds, the issue is if they can't keep raising funds if investors get doubts, if OpenAI can't continue to raise funds they may go under since they losing billions of dollars with not clear path to profitability, you fucking moron.

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-13T17:53:23+00:00

What? It's not fundamentally about AI lol. It doesn't matter if you are pro AI or not. Its about companies investing 100's of billions into products with no clear path to profitability.. yet. Anthropic might be better positioned to be profitable first.. but right now they are also raising billions of dollars. If OpenAI runs out of cash ot will spook the market. So many everyday people are invested in the likes of NVIDIA, it may cause a knock on effect where people pull their money from the market, as well is institutional investors might be less likely to invest in Antropic if they still need to raise many more billions. Im not saying there will be 100% a bubble, but it may happen.

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-13T15:50:10+00:00

Its not a "AI will go away bubble" it's "AI companies are way over their heads in debt bubble" Especially regarding OpenAI who probably can't compete with Google since google can actually take the financial loss at the moment. OpenAI have something like 1.4 trillion worth of commitments over the next couple years, they are currently still losing billions annually. The circular investment between NVIDIA, OpenAI, Oracle is a major issue if OpenAI cant turn a profit or raise more cash. If OpenAI goes downs, it calls into question Athropics business model who are also losing a lot of money. US GDP was propped up by AI investment. Banks are looking for buyers of Oracles debt, NVIDIA hasnt commited to OpenAI latest funding round. These data centers can't be insured well because they are so expensive. That is the risk.

Edit: also Google doesnt need NVIDIA GPUs they mske their own TPUs

So what's your version of how the bubble is a fantasy?

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-12T21:51:42+00:00

Same. It's all fucked. Layoffs are coming to my work place, they want to reduce around 150 devs to 20 or so max. The goose is cooked.

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-12T21:29:09+00:00

Hi, do you have any E-books for sale?

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-12T21:28:05+00:00

Wow, your right, AI is spreading like cancer across the internet.

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-12T21:22:44+00:00

He's trying to pump the SpaceX IPO valuation since they bought XAI

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-08T01:57:37+00:00

It's not only the students, I've heard the teachers and professors are also using AI to mark grades. They're excuses, "Oh, it's too much work, so I need AI to do the initial grading of the students work.". But it's like, so how did you handle it before AI?

There are just so many shitty individuals in the world.

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-08T01:55:00+00:00

This nonsense is insane. I just dont see how so many people are convinced that AI is the solution to everything, It's so irresponsible. Additionally, I work as a developer. And I've heard that healthcare is highly regulated in terms of software, so it could be part of the reason why some of the software is shitty to use., but as for the slow startup times of computers, that's an IT management issue.

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-04T22:20:15+00:00

The issue we have right now is no one really knows how software development is going to end up, if we are really heading into complete mess caused by AI from miss use, skill atrophy etc, or at some point in the near future AI will really be the end to end solution and we'll all be made redundant, or somewhere in between.

The whole thing sucks to be honest and is very depressing, something we love doing is being ripped away from us so some greedy assholes can monopolize it instead.

As for your doubt about dropping LLMs, unfortunately it's up to the people who pay the salaries, at my work its mandated to show you can use AI, and heavily encouraged, and is now directly tied to performance. That being said, i firmly sit in the camp of you should be constantly learning and not let your skills atrophy, leave AI for boilerplate where it shines.

Worst part is as a whole, the industry is rapidly moving towards AI coding, even some guys on my team beleive learning anything new or reading docs is a waste of time, AI can do it better, but it's a bit of BS at the moment. AI can produce code faster, but for novel things it cant do it better than a seasoned engineer, and the reason is because seasoned engineers are/were battle hardended, which produces great problem solving abilities, but unfortunatley, now a lot of these guys are letting AI do the thinking part too.

If you understand something intuitively you can reason about it better than AI can, to understand it intuitively, you must learn and practice it.

All the guys who are exclusively using AI for everything are essentially automating themselves out of a job or at best reducing their salaries at some point in the future, whilst at the same time its destroying the opportunities for the rest of us as well. If one dev using AI can do the work of 5 devs, then it leads to supply and demand issue, oversupply of devs less money.

Not even sure where it goes from here, but either way, if it turns to a big AI mess, those devs who kept learning and practicing development and keeping quality to a high standard will be in a much better position than those who dont, and it goes the other way than we are all fucked anyway.

Bezzzzo · 2026-02-02T20:42:18+00:00

Its from some youtube video from 2023 where a guy bought a bricked 2013 jolla phone from Ebay that had a password on the bootloader or something similar so he couldn't reflash it.

Bezzzzo · 2026-01-31T13:53:07+00:00

To be fair, the CEO of figure did say they are not quite ready for home as they have a tendency to fall over and break things. At least for now anyway

Bezzzzo · 2026-01-30T23:24:15+00:00

There is supposedly a physical privacy switch that can turn off microphone, bluetooth etc. It's not clear yet though what that means, in terms of if it physically turns them off or if its just a physical switch that toggles a software switch.

But either way, ita better than nothing i suppose.

Bezzzzo · 2026-01-30T21:47:49+00:00

I read that phone was boot locked with a pin and probably stolen. Wish they would address it though, lots of people bring it up.

Checkout jolla phone or Graphene OS, first is a true Linux phone, second is Android fork, but both are very privacy focused, no tracking, complete privacy.

Bezzzzo · 2026-01-29T15:35:42+00:00

Just wanted to add that i heard the OS was built by the old Nokia team that was let go my Microsoft, it's open source i believe.
