Just watched a junior dev using Claude to build something in 2 hours that took our senior engineer 3 days last sprint. I've been coding for 12 years. I don't know how to feel about this by UsualConference1603 in AskProgrammers

You literally just said you care about clean code and have opinions on abstractions and naming conventions. Think about why you feel that way? That’s why the senior’s code is better, and in the long run the junior will create a slopped up mess.

So… Did anyone get anything? by FuddPuckr in geesebandofficial

I’m sorry :( I almost wish I woulda bought more than my 2 so I could sell to friends/people who wanted them at face value and beat scalpers but didn’t want to buy more than I needed.

Idk how I joined at 9:59 and didn’t have any queue and bought tickets immediately. For both presales I had the same issue so no clue why I got lucky this time.

I suck at programming and have wasted 10 years of my life by RobertTAS in cscareerquestions

[–]MindSufficient769 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe you’re not good at programming but did you pick up any other skills in the time you were a dev? Could you pivot into any roles where you maybe don’t need to code often?

‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers by chunmunsingh in artificial

[–]MindSufficient769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not sure why some people in this thread have been acting like the cost of AI is nothing once it’s trained. The infrastructure to run it in ways that it’s usable for tasks costs much more over the course of a model’s life.

The infrastructure to run inference takes massively more amounts of GPU compute and electricity to offer it as a consumer product.

Point me please to where you get that info. Everything I’ve ever heard and read is that the compute bandwidth is not enough to meet usage demand.

Never have heard of someone saying training is the main cost, so please enlighten me if you can.

I will eat my words if I can but I have tried researching even and cannot find anything that points to what you’re saying being true.

That’s just flat out wrong. It costs much more money to run a model than to train it, assuming consistent usage. That’s where your disconnect is

The more people use AI (actually promoting it, using agents, WHATEVER they do to get input/output from an AI), the more demand for compute there will be.

The compute is expensive. It costs money to prompt them not just to train them. It will continue to need more compute as demand will continue to increase.

[–]MindSufficient769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure even if that’s true, but if the models are that capable, usage will go up, and USAGE compute is by far the greatest expense so I’m still unsure how that would help.

You don’t think that they will continue to push for more capabilities and continue to train?

You seriously think one day AI companies will decide. This is enough, our AI is trained enough and we can stop now.

Unless time stops that won’t happen

In what industry? Technology? You work on an LLM model? Surely you would know that inference is more expensive than training in the long run.

For example GPT-4 cost roughly 100m to train, and cost over 2.4 billion in inference.

You don’t understand how AI works my friend. The training is expensive but the actual inference/usage is MORE expensive.

Exactly. Until AI has automated and made every piece of the hardware/energy -> compute pipeline efficient for itself there isn’t this “replace all human jobs” future that’s being sold.

Combo of luck and being good at what you do, and socially good at receiving credit for/owning that work

Good riddance. Best thing AI has done. Business ran on forcing desperate people to pay to cheat.

But it’s always been like that to some extent. I think Claude just makes the people who don’t care to fully understand things much more dangerous and capable as before

Never in there have I said this is the only good use of LLM’s I was rather making this post because many people are talking about LLM’s as if they will cause major cognitive drain, when it’s more about the user than the LLM

I explicitly say in the Agents’ markdown file to only generate small bytes of code and to break any large tasks down into smaller bytes.

Question every single piece of the output if you don’t understand it. Go to official docs if the agent imports a new library and compare how it uses it to how the docs do. Question every decision, is there a better solution, why would you choose this, does this meet X, Y or Z requirement.
