adrithmetiqa: Super interesting but what does this mean for us mere mortals?

brcmthrowaway: Learn plumbing

dakolli: AI isn't replacing anything, get over yourself.

dataviz1000: I got Claude to self reference and update its own instructions to solve reverse engineering and making a typed proxy API. After a week scores of iterations, it can reverse engineer any website. The first few days I had to be deeply involved with each iteration loop. Domain knowledge is helpful. Each time I saw a problem I would ask Claude to update its instructions so it doesn't happen again. Then less and less. Eventually it got to the point it was updating and improving the metrics every iteration unsupervised.> Super interesting but what does this mean for us mere mortals?I would go for a 2 or 3 hour walk with my phone using the remote control feature looking every 5 - 10 minutes to make sure it doesn't need human help. I went to the coffeeshop and drink very good coffee listening to music. Then at night I sat and had a beer thinking about T.S. Eliot's 'The Wasteland' and the effect of industrialization in England at that time and the his views of how ennui affected the aristocracy.

NitpickLawyer: I know your reply was half joking, so please take this the same way, but ... are you sure about that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1ip68Vv7NE

oytis: There is no reason why market for plumbing will get much larger than it is now (which is not too large)

brcmthrowaway: Arent you using Claude?

If they don’t need people to do the tech labor, we’ve got way more people than we need, so that’s a huge oversupply of tech skills, which means tech skills are rapidly becoming worthless. Glad to see how fast we’re moving in our very own race to the bottom!

drfloyd51: I kind of feel like software engineers working on improving AI are traitors working against other SE’s trying to make a living.However…I have to acknowledge my craft of SE has been putting people out of work for decades. I myself came up with business process improvement that directly let the company release about 20 people. I did this twice.So… fair play.

frizlab: > I would go for a 2 or 3 hour walk with my phone using the remote control feature looking every 5 - 10 minutes to make sure it doesn't need human help.That is a nightmarish scenario tbh

incognito124: Where I live it's bathroom and kitchen tiling

heliumtera: That llms in the middle of everything will continue until morale improve because llms can generate text on top of bullshit made up problems
