    From the banchode who had uBlock Origin killed from running on regular Chrome 150 because he thinks it’s killing his profit from ads.

    And of course throwing in AI shite into Chrome with that awfully huge 4gb unwanted addition.

    “Now it’s your time to realize your dreams,” he told graduates. “The timing could not be more perfect.”

    My dream is a world without ultracapitalist CEOs.

      My dream is that when I search something on the web I get results 100% arranged on relevance with no commercially motivated rearranging of results. I also dream about ad free OSs, but that one came true for me back in 2005 (thanks Linux!).

      “These graduates are actually both going to be a big part of driving that progress and also dealing with the impact,” he added, referring to AI.

      Out of context it sounds like a threat, but in connect it just sounds like vacuous CEO-speak, designed to respond to the question with some words while not actually answering the question.

          People are out here still rooting for the circus ring master when we have known for decades now that they’re beating and enslaving the elephants, tigers, and crew alike, while splitting what the pick pockets get from the crowd while everyone enjoys the show.

    I look forward to AI slop making the next group of senior software engineers make complete crap because they have no idea what good software actually is.

    There’s going to be another market for consultants cleaning up these moron’s mess once again.

      Well, think of the bigger picture. After 3-4 generations, there won’t even BE consultants to clean up the mess. No one will know how to code at all. It’s ALL going to be AI.

        There will be consultants. Most will be charlatans with an LLM, but there will always be a small number of people who learn the craft because they’re interested… and they will command high salaries by those who understand quality engineering.

        It’s not like this is the first time our society has done this. We did it to textiles, then we did it to farming in general.

        The difference here is that automation of thought is what’s being promised, but that’s not what’s being delivered. But then, for many of its applications, real thought was never needed in the first place.

        Anyway, back to my actual point: manual software development will become a niche hobby like using a hand loom. The skills will survive, but more as a curiosity than a common career path.

        I hope I’m wrong, but it all depends on how long it takes the bubble to burst. If the LLM companies get a critical mass of dependence before it does, this will be the result.

    No.

    These graduates, and the incoming generation, won’t shape LLM’s and GenAI. Limpdick, loser fucking nerd billionaires will.

    The kids will be left with scraps, by design, and that’s the problem.
