Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Before LLMs came along no one cared what tools I did or didn't use at work. Hell will freeze over before I let a text predictor write code for me even if that eventually costs me a job. I'm the sort who can't stand any sort of auto-completion or other typing "help", much less spending all my time reviewing LLM output.

Wait until you experience AI "assistants" who extract info from your e-mails and texts to hallucinate wildly wrong appointments and summaries which then are cluttered throughout your calender and notes apps.

At this point any respectable workplace should just throw the whole Microsoft nonsense out and hire a sysadmin who knows what an immutable linux distro is.

My work is tracking our GitHub copilot usage and we get in trouble if we’re not using it enough.

LLMs are the next wave of popups here in the second quarter of the 21st century. I've become skilled at removing all the requests to let AI help me in whatever I'm actively doing. I about lost it recently when Excel threw one at me at work. NO, I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!

Having a better guided search in a help feature I don't mind. But stop pushing it in everything, just have a way to get to it (and have it WORK when I use it!)

Me: single tear rolls down over my tab complete
