It's incredible how little has actually changed since the AI boom. There's nothing tangible it created, except I suppose AI video and photo. Which is... inconsequential.
>>108967561AI is good as a better search engine, that's all.
>>108967561Nope, Ai has replaced coders, artists and now math
>>108967774And yet not a single coder and designer was fired in my job nor in my friends company. Interesting.

>>108967789Nah, In my job we replaced basically all graphic designers and coders. Now we hired a couple of vibeGODS and we have improved our performance and revenue.Face it, coding is obsolete and trans
The only appreciable impact on my life is making linux easier to use. Now if I have a problem I have an infinitely patient autist waiting to help me through whenever I want. I've seriously got more shit working now and have learned more than I ever did from "read the man page".

>>108967798Cope
>>108967801>you're learning new things? fuck youThis is why linux will never be standard.
>>108967561My grandma loves those AI cat videos, so it is consequential to me, in a positive manner, in some ways.But yes, I think AI had a good run. "Hype" as they call it.And now it is here, kinda like the buses that pass by. You take the bus to go places. Useful to do some things like creating cat videos and correcting grammar mistakes in your letters.
>>108967795You have to put more effort into your bait.
>>108967561It's great for learning and figuring shit out. I've saved ~10k on house repairs since I started using it. Just recently fixed a fridge.
I've come to the conclusion that it solves or solved everything, especially programming at this point. Sure you need someone to design systems and shit but with sass growing and growing even that is shrinking. There's literally no need to program anything by hand anymore unless you want to get your frontend exactly right. It's over for programming and system administration as a job. The 2 things I aspired most to have a professional career in have been automated and I basically helped Anthropic, OpenAI, and so on achieve this because I was and am a heavy consumer of their products. I definitely contributed to the death of the craft and I really don't feel bad about it. I've never seen so many angry, bitter, gatekeeping people in my entire life as over the last 6 months. Here, on reddit, HN, lobsters, Libera, everyone who was a gateekeeping bitter asshole showed their true colors. It was a bit like covid. You could see who loved each other and who hated you purely because their special skill was no longer so special.Truly an eye opening an enlightening experience. Glad to see this shit get automated. Hope space communism comes next. Fuck luddites.

>>108967780Dev here: My job changed in that I can learn way faster, debug faster, and build way more complicated shit than I could before, but I have to be very careful to keep it scalable.So yeah... my job changed a lot. My field in general. But no, obviously I did not get fired for suddenly being capable of way more than I previously was.

I suppose their inferiority complex is in a way justified.
>>108967838I got my degree 10 years ago and earned my money back 100x by working and investing all this time. I can basically retire at this point. Feels so good not to be a pathetic broke waste of air like you.
>>108967838>anyway this is still early days, but since the curve is exponential when it happens it will be explosiveJust 2 more weeks bro. Just another 10 trillion dollars bro.
>>108967761AI is a much worse search engine. It hyperfocuses on specific things at complete random. That's why it can't even summarize threads or collections of reviews correctly.
>>108968278>im totally rich bro but i post on 4chanlol not sure what is more sad, the delusion or the idea a person with money would waste their time here. pathetic.
>>108967561Things have worse since ai happened. The whole Internet is swamped with captchas now and every site is full of slop.
The www was better 20 years ago. not unironically - objectively.

>>108967780>Wow you're saying there's a war? Well there are no soldiers in MY backyard!
>>108968489The only thing AI changed is that it basically replaced globohomo artstyle since it manages to be both easier to make and somehow even uglier.
>>108968452There is surely a solution to make a website that cannot be posted on by bots.
I'm a developer officer contractor and AI has changed my job massively over the last couple years. I cancelled my istock subscription and spend easy less time looking for images for promo materials, I get LLMs to format most of my writing now from brief descriptions I get it, I no longer manually make bar, pie charts, etc. I get it to summarise reports I need to read, write emails for me. Overall I can probably do 5x as much work in the same amount of time, or do things 5x faster now.
>>108968572Only subhuman browns find this shit beautiful. Real people can tell the fakeness from miles away and know to steer away from businesses who use AI slop for their marketing. If a restaurant can't be bothered to place a simple stock photo in thier menu and resorts to AI, just imagine the quality of their food. Same with any other product. AI is a big red flag for shitty quality.
>>108968490retarded analogy, with how hyped this shit is, you'd think in couple of years of ai being used in coding it would replace everyone by now.
>>108967774That's not really a big deal. New technologies come along and replace people with the old set of skills all of the time.
It's done precisely nothing of value. By design it's incapable of doing so.
>>108968210>complicated shit than I could beforeif you don't understand what you're building you're just making slop lol. Agree with everything else in post tho.Learning stuff, grepping through api or code, debug (sometimes), some quick boilerplate or small script somewhere. AI does fine in my experience. Complexity, systems design or any important code - it makes garbage
>>108968602What you'd expect is that new software that does cooler things that older software didn't do. We've seen basically none of that. So far I am seeing some new tools released and developed faster and by fewer people, which is good, but every one of them is buggy as hell and basically doesn't do what it is supposed to on a reliable or complete basis. Due to the nature of the way it has been coded these problems are basically unfixable.The killer apps have been generating images, video, and audio, things like that. These are all interesting but not anything that will radically overhaul society or some shit. It's kind of incredible how feel people have figured out that the people hyping this up are bullshit artists and literal frauds. It's completely obvious in some cases like Altman but the rest aren't better. Jensen Huang is also full of shit.
>>108968640Fantastic post. Appreciate the effort on this dead fucking website.
>>108968640pretty much, i keep seeing some ai slop fucking up another open source project almost every week now. This is just garbage in garbage out, functionally equivalent to hiring some cheap indian company to code your product.

>>108967561>Inconsequential We're going to demonetize pornography and put cam whores out of business.
>>108967561AI has been a great replacement for Stack Overflow.
>>108968760I've recently been going back to SO. If the question you're looking for is on there, you'll typically get a much more detailed, systematic answer than what AI will spit out at you.
>>108968758That's a nothingburger and not true anyway.
>>108967561Incorrect. AI has created 95% of all deployed software today. AI has created nearly all of the economic growth of the last four years. Face it—AI is the future. AI is mandatory for participation in society; if you aren't using AI you're wasting everyone else's time—you're stealing from the future.
>>108968666The most common thing I am seeing is niche segments with one or two pillar applications that generate revenue being flooded with new competitors that are obviously cranked out by Ai and a developer or two. I would like to see anyone point to a new software release that has been built since AI coding became accessible that is not an AI-generator/chatbot itself.
>>108967561we haven't even witnessed the first wave of casualties from the enthusiastic early adopters.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OHQRo3Uz_VQ&pp=0gcJCSgLAYcqIYzv&ra=m
>>108968792And what of today's deployed software is any more advanced than the software of 2022? And don't say AI lol.
>>108968574Good for you, but if accurate, that sounds like a skill issue with scripting. Lots of others were doing it.
>>108968574Do you get paid 5x more?
>>108968574You could make bar and pie charts extremely fast before AI, and not using your reading comprehension skills often is probably just a bad idea in general.
>>108968800You can't, because for something of sufficient quality to "make it" pre-AI, you need an organizational structure optimized to stifle retards, and to whitewash retard shit through successively less and less retarded people. Or should I say "people" because they're still stupid and greedy, just not mentally retarded.What AI has done is to empower retards beyond all capability to mitigate them, to the point everyone has just given up and is waiting for whatever comes next. I saw an article last week with some data indicating overall churn is up hundreds and in some cases thousands of percent, but overall time to market is now -10% on aggregate. What I'm seeing is paralysis as promising looking things, prototypes, PoCs, etc, are being churned out but are stuck in local maximas they cannot escape from. This is exacerbated by lack of reading comprehension and, for lack of better term, writing succinctness skill in the general population, who should probably best be thought of as functionally illiterate (unless it involves refrigerator/microwave politics, EV charging, or corporate low-stakes infighting).To do something, you need to know what to do. I'm not seeing any indication AI is suddenly turning ticket fixers and general tinkerers into masterminds, and plenty of evidence former masterminds are turning into what I can only analogize as "Star Trek alternative universe theorists", 80s/90s style, increasingly detached from cold hard reality, safe in USS AI dick sucking yes man Enterprise holodeck.

This stems from the gatekeepy tendency of unix lovers - oh no we have to stick with names like 'mv', 'cp', 'man' or all our shell scripts will die, the command line must forever be built around the quality of early 1970s 300 baud dumb terminals.BTW I've been using Linux since it was first released and you could fit it on 4 1.44mb FDDs.

Personal use > Went from someone who can't use cli on windows to someone who only use it > Learnt about cs >Vibecoded multiple applications/websites with ads/kofiwebhook/games in with Flutter framework > I even have a.myc (a forked C language i asked to vibecode with ada style and automatical malloc or something like that) that works with EFL (did a text editor with it)The only thing i'm ashamed is that i didn't learn programming. I can read somehow,i can more or less try to see what's that, what's that and check docs by myself (when i'm in study mode) but if you ask me to write i just need docs because i've never bothered to write programs except for basic tutorials.I've vibecoded my own browser on linux with ada qt web engine (better perf than the one with webkit engine),same for my phone,my own jogging/biking tracking,music player,file explorer,lingq like learning lanugage,ide language, youtube downloader app,anki,flutter ui designer,dart jaspr ui designer, JavaScript website designer,my own opencode and so much shit i can't remember (pdf viewer in ada/C++,library organiser,assembly text editor,ide assisted Vibecoding,learning math website etc etc ).How to make usb key a self hosting os,how to go into my bios and stop secure boot. Lot of things So far i'm pretty happy with AI i've learn a lot but now i need a break. My 250 gb drive is only vibecoded apps and libraries,too much prototypes and tokens are not worth it anymore. Glad i started all of that in last september,it was amazing to just go brrrr with any idea i had and see results.Like flutter app for banking app with cobol db interoped with dart>C++>Ada>Cobol lol For a nocoder that's nice

>>108967561>It's incredible how little has actually changed since the AI boom.Because it's not for you. It would be like if the news was flooded about infinite free moon tours and finding alien life. It's exciting, but it's not for you, and will never affect your life.
>>108970562>The only thing i'm ashamed is that i didn't learn programming. Then you haven't actually accomplished anything lmao. you're doing the equivalent of the freshman CS student who can only "code" by copy and pasting excerpts from Stackexchange. This is like saying you made a browser because you compiled the source code from an existing project. All the AI did was rip off one and hand it to you.
>>108968595>AI is a big red flag for shitty qualityThis. I think this is getting more true by the day.When you see someone using AI for the most basic shit, you know low-effort and low-quality is pervasive in their products.By exclusion, this can kinda signal to us, which places actually put in some effort.
>>108967561The only thing that AI changed is the constant shilling about YOU HAVE TO USE AI OR YOU WILL BE UNEMPLOYED that gets spamed 24/7 for years now.
>>108967761Nah, it makes shit up and pulls from ancient Stack Overflow and Reddit posts way too much. It's good for a loose overview, but NOT as a granular search tool when you are looking for a specific answer or a deep understanding. And asking any non-technical question just gets you authoritatively regurgitated Reddit bluepilled groupthink.
>>108967561Hacker News has done nothing but mald for the past 3 years about it and it's only getting worse, so I'd say AI has been a complete success.
The funniest part is looking back how crazy people went over GPT-4 and such when they were a load of shit and barely useful for anything.

>>108968336>That's why it can't even summarize threadsThe thread centers on whether modern AI has produced meaningful economic and technological change. Two dominant narratives emerge: one claims AI has already transformed work and productivity across multiple industries; the other argues AI’s impact is overstated, largely limited to content generation and marginal productivity gains. The discussion rapidly polarizes into labor displacement claims vs. “no real disruption yet” skepticism, with heavy signaling around employment status, technical credibility, and ideological positioning.---## Sentiment Breakdown (Qualitative)* **Skeptical / dismissive (~40%)** * AI seen as overhyped, mostly “slop generation,” weak search replacement, limited real-world impact* **Optimistic / transformative (~35%)** * AI framed as already replacing or massively augmenting coding, design, writing, and system tasks* **Mixed pragmatic (~15%)** * AI improves productivity but does not replace high-complexity engineering or systems design* **Hostile / adversarial (~10%)** * High interpersonal hostility, status attacks, and employment/competence shaming dominate some subthreads

Related, do any of you have experience with using Ai to convert code onto different hardware architectures and OS? If these tools are good at porting in this way it could dramatically speed up the adoption of new operating systems and hardware architectures because it would undermine the software-ecosystem bias issue.This could be a great way to boost movement away from the android/ios cage.
