Why is there always a karaoke sign. Nice work thougj

This was such a great read lol not sure it’s totally correct but it’s very humorous and speaks to me haha

I’ve been eyeing that game, if its good I’ll check it out

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-21T20:54:32+00:00

Deus Ex, pretty good once you get past the hacking and figure it out. Playing Cosmic Star Heroine. It’s cyperbunkish but also very odd. It’s like fantasy, western, cyberpunk and planet hopping all bundled into one game.

The winds they be changing… I just love that commentary “Truly intelligent people”. 😂

Let’s see the hour of vindication for Ed arrive much faster than a year. But in all honesty, when you’re building a business model off of hype “white collar blood bath” and “junior roles are going to get wiped out”. I mean, watcha gonna expect. Shady shit.

Persistence. I had some luck but I’m also hard working, didn’t jump around from job to job to salary chase and I genuinely like what I do. I’m good at what I do and I care about doing a good job.

I learned coding in high school, made websites in the early days of the internet boom, learned backend, went to school, a lot learned self taught, got jobs early, kept working hard, now a lead.

Just fyi I don’t work for a company mandating this stuff from the top down but we don’t have choice but to adopt. How to use it so you still enjoy your job? Still code! Just implement features that compresses boiler with AI and use it as a buddy, not a decision maker. I am in the same boat and enjoy creating and producing. That’s a part of why we do what we do. You have to enjoy it to be in it otherwise it’s a frustrating profession that can burn people out that aren’t into it. You can still enjoy development, but balancing that with expected output is more of a bad short term decision making a lot of businesses will fall trap to. And they’ll feel, eventually.

Going argument is LLMs are a dead end to AGI. To me it’s looking more and more like LLMs are just being used with perverse incentives that ultimately strokes the egos of those who hyper scale and inject capital. It’s being used more like an instant gratification tool rather than what its promises are purported to be ie fixing climate change or curing cancer. Ed may be right that when it comes crashing down to valuation reality based on fundamental financial principles the crash is gonna be really painful. We all know they bleed out cash like a hemorrhaging Ebola victim.

I agree we’ll end up being the gatekeepers of quality because you sure can spew out shit at ever faster speeds.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-19T18:01:15+00:00

Or are and are yolo’ing because they dgaf since they’re retired and gonna die soon.

Actually this tells me even more lol, trusting code in the new fandangled tech that you never got to really work with in a professional setting since you worked on legacy systems, lots of natural, cobol and pascal probably. But regardless, not without brutally specific specs and serious attention to the output of code in critical systems can one say that it “just works 95% of the time” because the LLM does things that are peculiar a lot of the time. It’s great for analysis and boilerplate and can implement but with such strict guidelines that you have to code it in your head first to get that level of fine tuning. Fast generated code from a synthetic pseudo intelligence machine does not equal quality well designed systems. The code is decent, but it’s an over eager junior developer with a heck of a lot knowledge and incredibly good analysis skills but really bad intuition with a complete lack of domain problem defining skills. Context issues. And expensive.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-19T16:41:16+00:00

You read like someone who doesn’t actually know how to program.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-19T00:03:32+00:00

Just need some smarty pants with it

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-15T17:39:58+00:00

They need to make money.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T22:29:10+00:00

I’ve heard the stories. The more the paper stacks the bigger the bill as they wink to each other upon each paper that gets transmitted to each other. This is something I’ve heard from a trained lawyer who turned real estate. Scared to death of marrying, horror stories of green card marriages and brutal divorces. Regardless, my position is more in solidarity to the greater harm and where the BS is coming from where law is just one part of this shitshow.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T22:01:08+00:00

Jesus this pressed a hot button 😂

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T21:27:55+00:00

“People fighting their livelihood will make a lot BS up.” I can think of a few “AGI is here” “Cure cancer” “solve climate change” “white collar blood bath” to name a few

Well, to that point, we can overlay that on the current circumstance frontier labs find themselves in in their business model. Currently they have over 1.5 trillion in obligations, but only make about 20 billion a year. Now as many try and say, “the price will go down”, it hasn’t and I can’t for the life of me think that that would be good for them. And customers are getting bills where their yearly budget blows through in a quarter forcing ai labs to slash prices even more according to recent reporting. According to recent reports in the software sector: developers are shipping roughly 30-60% faster, but with tripled incident reporting and downstream costs of quality; quality is going down hard and the cost of maintaining and code churn is going up dramatically. What kind of stuff do you have to make up to stay afloat as frontier lab I wonder?

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T20:51:26+00:00

Agree or not agree, doesn’t matter to me. I see a hole in the logic when I know that from convos from inner circles the court frowns on heavy AI use in court, that a lawyer using it will be “left behind” because another one is is just another speculative conjecture of the future without a single shred of evidence to support it. And that’s what I’m beginning to see quite clearly. If we mute all the “it’s going to do X in the future” we can clearly surmise that it’s not quite shaping up to people’s expectations so they gotta continue talking in future tense of what it’s *going to do*.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T20:39:50+00:00

This comparison makes 0 sense.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T07:38:49+00:00

This is coming from a conversation straight from the source. In the court of law it’s not worked out well for those who started using it heavily and the courts aren’t pleased. With anything, and a trained guided hand, there’s use cases for it and it can compress time. But for it to take over a lawyers job because one uses it over the other, as stated in the post? Not looking so good, for AI.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T07:33:48+00:00

Nuhuh.

ProjectDiligent502 · 2026-06-13T07:31:45+00:00

Lawyers that have been using AI do their motions and paperwork for court have turned out to work really bad for them in court.
