I think some people are misunderstanding me here.

I am 100% confident that LLMs alone will get you a hot steaming pile of absolute shit and it has played out again and again.

What irks me is that a bunch of normies were sold that this is PhD level intel and that they have 0 worries and this is the future old man, get with it.

They go off, sell a product to REAL customers and then absolutely get wrecked.

There will be a whole bunch of people that will continue to get wrecked because an entire class of people cheer them on and more so CEOs of the worlds largest companies tell them they are correct.

I can imagine that we will see quite a few lawsuits in the coming months / years due to this.

@jeffrey_way I think that will work for a lot of stuff but what about the really sensitive industries e.g finance, medical data? I think that will take longer to change.

If you are a software engineer "experiencing some degree of mental health crisis", now hear this, because I've been coding for 50 years since the days of punched cards and I have a salutary kick in your ass to deliver.

Get over yourself. Every previous "programming is obsolete" panic has been a bust, and this one's going to be too.

The fundamental problem of mismatch between the intentions in human minds and the specifications that a computer can interpret hasn't gone away just because now you can do a lot of your programming in natural language to an LLM.

Systems are still complicated. This shit is still difficult. The need for people who specialize in bridging that gap isn't going to go away.

As usual, the answer is: upskill yourself and adapt. If a crusty old fart like me can do it, you can too.

@susannareid100 You need a decent router, or mesh. The provider won’t change this, providers are pretty much identical. If your internet speed is good into the house then you just need a decent router or mesh with a good reach , these can work with any provider.
