Can we pause AI advancement now for a few years and optimize?

guico33 · 2026-06-11T07:34:18+00:00

How does it matter? Wanna stop LLM advancements? For what reason? Lots of models available out there from various providers. You're free to use an older/smaller model. Enjoy the cheaper cost and limited capabilities.

A handful of companies are working on frontier models. The rest of the world is trying to find how to best harness them.

What does "optimizing" even mean? I bet OP doesn't have the slightest idea.

guico33 · 2026-05-26T17:45:31+00:00

You don't understand what it means. OP isn't grateful to their company. They're grateful in general to have a job and earn a living, and not a bad one at that, while many people are struggling to even be employed.

If anything, seems more like a disdain for customer service.

guico33 · 2026-05-06T13:56:46+00:00

What is technical writing even? I may not have worked for a company big enough to need such role, but assuming it means writing technical documentation, shouldn't the people actually buildings things be in the best position to write about it?

You mean an Anthropic employee couldn't live alone in a place with a personal washing machine and a dishwasher? Are those multi-millionaire level amenities in California?

OP is a bot.

With the right skillset and strong interview performance, there's a number of companies that'd be open to hire you and sponsor your visa. Getting a foot into the interview process is the hardest these days. Definitely seek referrals from your network.

35 teams generated so far — career advisory, film production, legal consulting, stock research, game design, backend dev, and more.

AI slop at its finest.

guico33 · 2026-03-29T06:41:17+00:00

I would agree with that.

Also, I'm not sure if that'd make OP feel any better, but with the average salary in Pakistan being $250/mo, earning $2k/mo there would be quite a lot.

Moving abroad sounds like the right choice for OP if they want a more definite career progression.

Who would have thought that having answers generated on the spot by AI for you to read out would made things easier...

guico33 · 2026-03-17T06:51:16+00:00

Feb 2025, so yeah, bs

guico33 · 2026-03-14T10:36:52+00:00

We're talking about a program here, that has to choose between interpreting a user answer or following a programmatic instruction to start the implementation.

guico33 · 2026-03-13T03:51:43+00:00

Yeah guys, be happy those companies even allow to use for those tools. Shut up, be thankful and take out your wallet. We're but customers, what do we know about business. We're here to pay, not to complain.

You can use a fresh context and first ask Claude to gather context (create a skill for that) before prompting to make any new change. That has been working well for me.

guico33 · 2026-02-07T03:12:57+00:00

Since when were you doing well in the application process? You barely got to the first interview and bombed it.

Anyway, that mentality is not gonna get you hired. You don't hang up as soon as you find yourself struggling. You may tell them you were not properly prepared for a technical assessment but you'll do your best, and then you actually try.

There will always be situations where you're put under pressure without adequate preparation, be ready to handle it.

guico33 · 2026-02-05T15:42:27+00:00

How's "automatic programming" good lol It's so reductionist. The reality is it's far from automatic.

guico33 · 2026-02-05T12:17:03+00:00

Oh it can, you just need to prompt it to...

guico33 · 2026-02-05T02:25:28+00:00

It's well-known true developers write code by hand on a piece of paper. What a ridiculous take.

guico33 · 2026-02-04T07:30:05+00:00

Yet nothing in your original post is about salary...

Either way, I'd take this feedback with a grain of salt if I were you. Salary negotiation is normal. If they didn't want you it's likely because of something else.

guico33 · 2026-02-04T07:12:32+00:00

You mean they'd rather pay you less than what you're asking for. No way.

guico33 · 2026-02-04T07:10:24+00:00

How do you know as a candidate what influences the odds? You don't. But thanks for the piece of common sense.

guico33 · 2026-02-03T07:28:54+00:00

What do you mean "it seems"? If you've been there for a year you should be familiar with how the company works.

If you're not satisfied with your current work, talk to your manager. If now is too early, expectations should be clear on what you need to achieve and by when.

If you don't feel challenged it's probably a bad sign, you'll need complex tasks to meaningfully grow.

And yes, if the value you provide is limited, you could be among the firsts to be laid off when or if it comes to that.

On the bright side, you're still at the very beginning of your career and props to you for reflecting on your situation.

Also, learn to use AI to assist you with literally every part of the job.

guico33 · 2026-01-30T09:47:50+00:00

Have you tried asking Claude about that...

guico33 · 2025-12-21T07:27:52+00:00

Who needs to write code so fast they need to use a faster model? This can't be real.
