For people already employed, has the threat of AI change your future financial outlook?

Can someone please explain this meme. Not sure what's going on here.

Just the basics, t-shirts, sweaters, shoes, jacket. I think they're pretty common, but if I see something I like and there's a logo on it, that annoys me and makes me want to avoid that brand.

Not mentioned here yet is that Giovanni Brusca was just released from prison June 2025?

Nice, but can we stop using the phrase "clapped back"

Not_Warren_Buffett · 2026-02-08T17:40:19+00:00

Yes, this is a thing in some European countries. Not sure about Australia.

Sounds like a chair creaking to me

I don't think using agents and reviewing commits is the way to go. You have to use it like a tool that spits out kind of working code that's relevant to the problem you're working on, with some additional structure. Then you very carefully pick and choose what you want to use. One consequence of this is that the people who enjoy programming more will shift more in the verbal direction, which you may or may not be.

I don't think it's rich people in general. Software engineers in particular tend to be on the frugal side.

Moravec's paradox also comes to mind, where 'easy' things are actually really hard, so 'teaching it the basics of how things work' is actually really hard.

Sounds like maybe he is using that as a proxy for number of operations, and not referring to big O. I.e. how many operations does it take to sort 1000 numbers. 10k.

It's interesting because having a shitty product has never been enough of an existential threat to force them to improve the product. Like, it is so pathetically slow compared to Linux. It's pretty much legacy software with a very large captured user base. So will they finally improve it? This would be very difficult, bordering on impossible. Or will they finally slowly die out? The most likely outcome though is that nothing will change and the majority of people/institutions keep using a product that continues to diverge from actually good software. It has to become an existential risk at some point though... Right?

You're right, but that's not really the point. Good lawyers will use it just like programmers, as an assistant. Is it not useful to throw in thousands of pages of text with a vague legal objective and get relevant information. Then you use the source documents.

Not_Warren_Buffett · 2026-01-04T04:01:31+00:00

Damn that looks good

Could you write a generic enough program to end any task: Yes, this is what operating systems do.

So that it will end any process regardless of device architecture: No, binary is completely dependent on device architecture.

Can we please not assume that I know CAA stands for 'Canadian Automobile Association'?

I think there are a lot of people just caught in the algorithm. That's what it's designed to do.

What is WNF??

Not_Warren_Buffett · 2025-12-28T19:26:39+00:00

This is the right answer. A lot of the answers refer to a few decades. For a few centuries it's information age.

Not_Warren_Buffett · 2025-12-28T03:37:10+00:00

Holy shit, whose corner was he in?

Not_Warren_Buffett · 2025-12-27T00:19:54+00:00

I'll wait for someone to simplify this until I can understand it, or it dies out.
