This is already happening today and as many things are done in Ukraine today, much of what is done is done without some order from a high up office. I know that there are AI models trained on real combat data.

I saw a truck company exec spend 7 hours in one day to throw together a working portal that integrated with his TMS, QuickBooks, Slack, Telegram and a system called Border Connect. This portal looks like he wanted, does what he wanted and reduces work load and processing errors in his company. He had no idea what coding is, he had no idea and no interest even to find out what technologies were used, what languages were used to put together the solution. I have to admit it was impressive.

To say that using something like LLM for a solution generation is a good idea or not a good idea you have to look at the final result I think. It may be a terrible idea but what if it works, delivers what is asked of it and reduces expenses for a company? Also I saw how happy the guy was that he could do it, he was proud of his achievement and I must say, for a person with 0 knowledge and no understanding of the underlying tech still to be able to do this was impressive. I was impressed that he was able to achieve this.

Will it withstand the test of time? Only time will tell.

Which part of "advertising that otherwise wouldn't be possible, because it would have required a movie crew" is unclear? I never hired a movie crew and I would never hire a movie crew, so there wouldn't be any advertising shot with a movie crew, because I wouldn't be able to pay for it.

I can, however, pay for a couple of guys making videos based on my requirements by using tools that were previously unavailable and thus costing one thousand of what it would cost with movie crews and traditional filming techniques. Having a commercial done for a few thousand dollars altogether, something that otherwise could easily cost 1-3 million? I am not talking about just being efficient here, I am talking about being able to afford something altogether.

blah blah blah, I travel extensively, like as in I have been around, visited a good 20% of countries and multiple cities in each one of those, most of Europe, some of Asia, half of the Middle East and a few African countries, also all over the USA, Canada and a little bit around Mexico. USA then must be a unique snowflake, where people are all unique snowflakes with unique genes, the special fat genes. Whatever you call 'responsible', there is no way that you are gaining all that weight contrary to the laws of thermodynamics. You eat more than you use, that's all there is to it. Also quality of food matters, but not as much as quantity.

I see people, who are not programmers at all, creating automation solutions for their businesses:

People are using AI to help them create content that otherwise wouldn't have been created ever https://youtube.com/shorts/un8... just because this is in someone's fantasy does not mean they have resources to make it real until AI stepped in.

We generate and put edit videos for advertising that otherwise wouldn't even be possible, because it would have required a movie crew and I cannot afford that but I do hire people to make these new types of video ads, so some jobs are created due to AI.

ok, all of this is for what? I think some results is better than no results. Also I am certain that if he ends up paying some fines, then fixing the problem is an acceptable result, maybe not worse than building the code in a software shop by hand. Also I don't think he is unaware about the potential problems, including fines, he is willingly taking the risk. Beside that he is integrating with some existing systems, where it is completely possible to check if all of the data was properly sent to the customs. I think he will get good results he is looking for and I wish him the best and good luck. Time will tell how things work out for him. I am sure it will be an interesting experience, even that in itself is a positive result.

The system is not about telling him how many trucks to deploy or whatnot, it is about communicating the information from his TMS and his inputs to the driver and to the border patrol (integration with the customs). If he is wrong and his work doesn't produce good results he will end up paying fines at the border because if the documentation is wrong or incomplete or is not on time then that's what happens - companies are fined, so there is a risk associated with it but there is always a risk, would you say that there is no risk when humans are doing it by hand (and I do not mean you, specifically, I mean any humans doing anything by hand)?

So again, if he is wrong he will pay for it, if he is right, he will gain from it, but what I know is that he is getting some results and then time will tell the rest of this entire story.

I disagree. Getting some results is better than getting no results at all and that's that. The person I am talking about was happy to get results from his work (and yes, he still did the work, someone still has to do the work). You assume that your work would be significantly better than the work that a non coder can achieve with a system like this, maybe you are right. However if without this AI system there wouldn't have been any results at all, that would have been much worse for the business in question.

Would these portals exist without AI? Maybe not, who says that anyone would be hiring people to do the work? But again, to assume that the quality and quantity of the work would be better with human hands is actually very questionable. How many projects completely failed with human hands on them? How many projects went over budget and were not delivered on time with human hands on them? (no matter the reasons, be it incomplete requirements, changing requirements, inability to deliver due to lack of resources, people not paying attention, getting sick, going to vacation, bankruptcies, hacks, you name it).

I would say for a business getting some results is much better than no results, so I cannot agree with you there.

I did not say anything about your job, I did not say anything about anyone's job actually. I said that a person was able to throw together a system that he wanted, the way he saw it, all without knowing the first thing about running a debugger, a compiler, without understanding what *language* or what libraries or what frameworks are used for anything at all. Development, deployment, source code, running environment, nothing. He is absolutely enjoying himself because just like anyone else who was able to learn to code, he achieved results, you can appreciate it if you still remember what it was like when you put your first few lines of code together and made the computer run them.

Except when you did it, when I did it, it was all a theoretical exercise. What he did was actually 100% useful for his business and will help him to run it more efficiently.

He is now busy working on a money collection portal for his business, he doesn't want to buy any existing solutions, doesn't want to pay for them and learn them. He wants to throw together a portal that would do what he envisions in his own head. The time of coders hating on their clients for not being precise enough are over, the clients can throw together whatever they want into a computer system by talking to a robot, not to a coder.

When the time will come to maintain the system, he will talk to the AI that will help him maintain it. In fact he said over the 3 months that he has been actively using this to create a few projects for himself the system became better and better, visibly more effective over time. You think this system will not be able to help him maintain everything?

As to the thing recording the data properly, I don't know, I didn't see the code, who knows. I assume it will record all of the data, otherwise it will not be used by people and the rumors spread quickly, nobody wants bad publicity to kill their business model, right? Whether the generated code is fit for purpose at all... does ANY developer provide any assurances to that effect? I don't think so, in fact licenses often say that exact thing: not fit for a purpose or 'as is', which means no warranties whatsoever. Have you personally ever given warranties on any of your software products?

Doesn't matter, the point is that now the production tools are democratized, people do not have to talk to software development shops, they can do the work themselves. Whether it is good or bad, we shall see.

literally 2 hours ago I was talking to a client at his office, it is a truck carrier company with over 100 trucks and drivers. The owner showed me a few projects he has been vibe coding this week. In less than 7 hours he created a portal with some 30+ screens, all for collecting and modifying information related to dispatching trucks across the border, integrated this with his existing TMS (Transportation Management System), integrated messaging and notifications between dispatchers and drivers via both, Telegram and Slack. His challenge for the evening today is to integrate it with QuickBooks to process payments and invoices.

I asked him what language was the code written in? He did not know and did not care. He asked v0.app to tell him. It was react, next.js API routes, node.js runtime, typescript for type safety, PostgreSQL (via neon), prisma.orm, cookie-based authentication system.
PDF generation (@react-pdf/renderer), date handling utilities, ui-components. He doesn't know what languages are used, how it is dwployed, whatever. He doesn't care much how the source is kept, as long as it is, he doesn't care how it is deploed. He tells the computer whar he wants but tests by new hand. He is liberated from the tyranny of developers, analytics, pms, qas, etc. He does not expect it to be perfect, he is happy he can do this himself.

Why pay it, who cares about looking good in anyone's eyes, especially to look good as a 'corporate citizen', whatever t.f. that means? putin can start a land grab war and his minions are absolutely clear https://www.youtube.com/watch?... that they want to destroy Ukraine as a nation and to make sure there are no such people as Ukrainians. Trump attacks countries with force to kidnap presidents (and not putin, notice, he didn't kidnap a mass murderer) and he is open about using Venezuela for his own purposes and he threatens Greenland, Canada, Panama, you name it. ayatollahs in Iran are murdering people for protests. ICE is murdering people just because ICE agents have no dicks but they do have guns and the highest office in the state supports murder.

So tell me again, why should Cloudflare pay the fine? Sure, they can give a month notice and then leave, let Italians figure out how not to have their region DDOSed to hell by the ruzzians and the chinese and the rest.

cool, that is why I do not have an office in any of the nordic countries. I like being in control and do not tolerate someone trying to take away control, that is the primary reason I left contracts back in 2009 and went on my own, building my own tech,,searching for clients, eventually hiring people. So to quit in search of control just to lose it eventually to other people does not work for me.

Complete nonsense. I just participated in the CES 2026 show and except for very few and between products there was nothing there that would 'take jobs away' in quantities that you are proposing. In fact all of that stuff is aimed to create more jobs for people to design, build and sell the new products. As to the AI that helps creating some videos and sounds, the real problem is not going to be lost jobs, quite the opposite, I am *paying* someone that I would have never paid to create videos based on some AI generated content. The real problem is going to be for the masses of people not to fall for various scams and fake news generated with all of these instruments, that's where the real problem is - people unable to differentiate between fantasy and reality.

All of this tech that I saw at CES 2026 just proves there is nothing at all that these robots can do to *replace* individual jobs but there is plenty that they are doing to add *new* jobs. You are completely and utterly lost in your entire insane communist propaganda, what is funny is that all of this AI and robotics can and does put more instruments for productive use into the hands of more people (like those AI video generators), so from point of view of a communist you should welcome these 'evil' capitalists, creating and distributing efficient tools that allow people to own instruments of production and earn more.

Yes, SOME jobs will disappear, few and between, many jobs will be supplemented and more jobs will be created because there are more and more uses for all of this tech that wasn't even thought of yet. As any communist, you believe that there is a limited number of jobs (this is what the old USSR had the statistical bureaus for, to calculate how many tons of wheat should be produced, you have the same problem in your head that cripples you, you are not inventive enough, quite conservative in your views actually).

More jobs are going to be created, just like after the invention of the car and of trucks more people are employed as drivers than ever before cars and trucks existed. More people are employed as pilots than before airplanes existed. More people are employed as SMT line engineers than before electronics existed. More people are employed as actuaries than before insurance existed. More people are employed as computer programmers than before computers existed. More people are employed as content creators than before social media of all kinds existed.

You cannot imagine that capitalism creates jobs because the desire for things is unlimited and no amount of AI or robotics will ever satisfy the demand and it is good that we are working on AI and robotics given that the insanity of the modern world have allowed women to compete with men in the work force for the same jobs than ever before and because of that women and men do really have the same roles in society, which incidentally slows down and even destroys the desire and the ability to have families and to want children and even to allow to have them. This is what feminization of society leads to, you are an example of it. Feminization means blurring the lines between sexes, pretending men and women are interchangeable and thus allowing the governments of the world to treat them as such, this destroys the support systems that used to exist for thousands of years that allowed families to care for their young and it gives tools to females to behave as if they are men.

In this society we should welcome the AI and robotics because the demographics is not on our side, we are going to have a demographic slump https://www.youtube.com/result...

So to summarize, AI allowed me to *create* jobs that previously didn't exist and I am paying money for it, which goes directly against your narrative. Your vision is completely blurred, you are blinded by your communism agenda. Your feminism agenda also is an example of what will cause the population collapse and under these conditions we will need all of the help from AI and robotics than we can possibly get, because we will not have enough people to sustain our live standards.

I run a few companies, I never thought I could afford to shoot and air complex, realistic looking commercials for my products and I have not done so previously. Now, that AI video generation is available I actually pay contractors to create videos for me that otherwise wouldn't be possible to make. This means someone gets paid for work that I would never be able to afford if there wasn't any AI at all. Chew on that.

While AI may replace some jobs completely, more of it will be used to do more work that simply was not done previously at all. I do not suggest people should use AI as their psychologist, but they clearly do, so people who have never gone to a therapist mat get some therapy, good or bad, without paying for therapy. These people were not going to pay money for this service, now they are just getting some sort of s service at no extra expense for them. Same with many other things, I do not think these videos https://youtube.com/shorts/un8... would exist safe for AI video generators, so this is work done that wouldn't be done without AI at all.

Are you suggesting someone is taking away a job from someone by not paying to shoot a crazy fantasy video?
