I read an interview with one of the main protestors that got fired in the first wave. Their plan is to become a professional protestor. I suspect that pays better than being an average Googler.

This. That would be awesome.
If LLMs are increasing your productivity, you must be among the worst developers on the planet.
lol!
"Keyboards, pssh. Kids today
It's funny watching the reactions to things like this. It really reveals the religious nature of it all.
"Say what?? We can't actually mitigate things with technology
It's true. LLMs can't code. All they can produce is text that looks like code, just like any other text the produce. They lack the ability to consider, reason, and analyze. This is an indisputable fact.
Try not to take sensationalist headlines at face value just because they affirm your silly delusions.
My silly delusion that LLMs are a useful tool, that I, a working programmer, actually do use productively? Okay
Noticed that as well, the quality of the output depends on the quality of the input. And you have to know something about the subject the output is about to know whether is good or garbage (or look at it period and not put blind faith in its output). We've seen it with lawyers using it for arguments then not double checking the cases. Sometimes AI just makes up stuff.
Right, it's a tool. In the right hands, it is super useful.
Exactly. I drive a 1996 Honda Civic. If I were to buy a new car, that is the sort of car that I would be interested in. The sort of car that is inexpensive and capable of driving at freeway speeds. If the government would let me buy a Toyota Hilux for $12K I would do that tomorrow. Instead I get enormous pickups and SUVs that get through the loopholes in our current EPA standards and that cost more than my first house.
I just spent a week in Peru where Chinese cars are quite popular, and the taxi drivers that I talked to were pretty happy with theirs. The mentioned, time and again, that, for the price they were great cars. They were definitely popular. I would buy one of those. They tend to have manual transmissions, which I know how to drive, and which I trust not to leave me stranded.
If I could buy an electric vehicle for $10K I would do that. It wouldn't be my only vehicle, but it probably would be my primary vehicle. I love the idea of electric vehicles, but it doesn't make sense to replace my ridiculously inexpensive (paid for and hyper reliable) Civic with an expensive electric vehicle, or my far more useful Honda Odyssey mini-van. It sort of makes sense to replace the Civic with an electric vehicle, however, if the price is right.
Every change looks like corruption in the eyes of people who don't like it.
And corruption looks like evolution to some people.
Personally, I'm in favor of words meaning as much of the same thing over time as possible. It enhances communication and understanding. If you need a new meaning, you either need a new word or you need to explain yourself at a bit more length. Lest you "decimate" (cough) the listener's/reader's understanding... you get me?
Haven't bought a tablet for quite a few years, do they normally use SIM cards now?
(If so, what makes it a tablet vs. a "big phone"?)
I saw that, but no idea what it means.
Looks like there are some docs on this. This one may be relevant.
Certain topics do not lend themselves very well to the scientific method.
It's kind of hard to set up 100 universes, say, and run them through a few billion years. You can't do the experiment part.
What does the build process do that doesn't produce the exact same bits every time?
I'm guessing it has to do with "sans the likes of embedded signatures".
... did none of the devastated women (quoted in the story) pony up the missing 5% of the org's budget then?
Or if they were never asked, why were they never asked?
As a long time Android user, no, I do not recall that.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
