How is a tool that requires human prompting going to put someone out of work?

By making the rest of the workforce much much more productive and therefore you dont need so many of them.
same exact thing which put basket weavers and horse and buggy drivers out of work. because when everyone can just buy a machine which mass produces baskets or buy a vehicle which needs minimal maint and doesnt need to be fed/watered/cared for daily the need for basket weavers and horse and buggy drivers goes to zero. all you will need is a few people writing prompts. or just buy canned prompts from your local AI corp and copy/paste.

now you can code yourself personalized bugs which YOU have to fix.
congrats samsung. after removing all the useful stuff from your phones youre now promoting buggy phones as a feature.
jeez. no wonder ive not upgraded since my note 20 ultra. it has 2.5TB storage, 15000mAh battery with extended case and a real bluetooth spen. and thats a 6 year old samsung device which has a better screen than the s26 ultra, more storage and better battery capacity.
how about actual innovation - give me a phone with thermal camera, night vision camera, IR blaster, 3 days of battery capacity, proper flashlight, replaceable swappable battery, 3TB of storage and android 16. like weird chinese brands like ulefone are starting to come out with as samsung slides gradually into irrelevance.
 

1. car so dorky no one will ever drive it ... check
2. easily crushed between the wheels of a pickup truck .... check
3. suitable only for california weather .... check
4. relies on some magically hyped technology (special solar cells) ... check
5. 3 wheels instead of 4 to get around safety mandates for cars ... check

congrats! you now have a nice bubble corp to separate investors from their money. now all you have to do is cash out before it goes pop.

congrats with the virtue signalling and low "pollution footprint". you keep living with EV compromises to your lfiestyle while the rest of us move on in our SUVs and pickup trucks.
will your EV even run at 35mph for 6 hours without refilling the battery. dont forget to plug it in. haha.

lets all be in complete ignorance about how the machines we built work.
that will end well.
in other news - AI datacenter breaks down, no one can fix it. whoopsie.

you realize those evil immigrants were doing jobs americans wouldnt do, right ?
so now youre going to pay $60/hr to get your toilet cleaned. $200/hr to get your roof fixed. and all the businesses around you are going to do the same which means youre going to pay out the ass for every single business you shop at. literally all goods and services. because they are going to pay out the ass for all the services they require and they are going to pass the bill right along to you. enjoy getting reamed out the ass on your high horse.

scripting is not coding. why isnt C and C++ usage increasing rapidly now that its supposedly "easy" ? How but churning everything out in Assembler ? just tell the AI what to do.
Why is everything a crappy script with giant security holes ?
oh wait. its because AI cant actually code. just regurgitate out trivial B.S. which interns used to do.

cry me a river. where was all this hand wringing nonsense when piratebay was shut down repeatedly ? how about the DMCA which US industry was happy to back. oh and the mickey mouse perpetual licensing joke. now its come back to bite the tech industry in the ass. fuck em. let them ALL go out of business. let the investors cry. then maybe we will get some sanity back in copyright law.

3 years later ? dont be silly.
i have a skype credit going back 11 years. these are prepaid and charged on a credit card and then added to skype.
you cant charge those back.

meh. tractors dont drive off and plow neighbours fields and pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks randomly around 30% of the time.
private company will go bankrupt when everyone just laughs and spins up a LLM on their home computer. i already have my own deepseek instance with 670b parameters running on my headless EPYC server with 512GB RAM. yeah its slower than a GPU based system but i can afford to dedicate 400GB of disk and 300GB of RAM to run it. much cheaper (basically free) hardware from 3 years ago. if tractors were free no one would pay for them.

thats literaly the duumbest take on anything ive ever read. are you sure youre not an AI ? AI's are pretty worthless except for garbage tasks. they hallucinate 30% of the time. you need to feed answers back to them hundreds of times to get anything accurate. and then the models sometimes blow up. yeah they are useful for drafting time sheets and mundane bs but they arent going to replace good coders anytime soon.

doors auto lock while the car is in motion.

" the car will find a safe spot to stop." not "its an emergency stop button". the car obviously couldnt find a safe spot to stop which is why it kept circling....

quantum clocks means that inertial navigation goes from several miles drift over time and functionally useless to actually practical with GPS precision. Quantum clocks allow you to build atomic inertial sensors can measure gravity variations of a part in a billion. This occurs because of the propagation of wave packets between two beam splitters and the beam splitters themselves. The ïrst stage is achieved through the ABCDξ theorem which gives the evolution of a general wave packet in the case of a time-dependent external Hamiltonian at most quadratic in position and momentum operators. The second problem is addressed by the ttt theorem which speciïes the effect of a beam splitter, when its dispersive nature is neglected.
