AI also isn't close to replacing other industries. They are both wrong.

I thought he did it for engagement but he doesnβt have a blue check mark. So heβs doing this for free. Truly dumb.
My mate is applying to Amazon as warehouse worker. He has an IT degree.
My coworker in the bookkeeping department has two degrees. Accountancy and IT. She can't find an IT job.
At the other side though, my brother, an experienced software developer, is earning quite a lot of money now.
Basically, the industry is not investing in new blood.
As someone trying to get a job in IT, I'm just going to ignore this comment :)

The best part is how all programmers at Google, Apple, and Microsoft have been fired and now everything is coded by AI. This guy seems pretty smart.
There actually isn't a single human programmer in the entire world. Every single one was fired and replaced by Grok, ChatGPT and Deepseek.
I know all my old friends who worked at Microsoft are now janitors!
OpenAI hasn't even replaced their own developers, and they push out the biggest LLM turd around.
Tinfoil hat time:
That Ace account is just an alt of the original guy and rage baiting to give his posting more reach.
Counter-tinfoil hat time:
That Ace account is an AI.
Everyone being a bot is just a given on Shitter

Except for those comedy accounts. Some of those takes are sheer genius lol.

it's funny that some people think programming has a human element that can't be replaced but art doesn't.
I get the idea that it's only temporary, but I'd much rather have a current gen AI paint a picture than attempt to program a guidance system or a heart monitor
por que no los fucking neither, is what i think.

Art doesn't have to fulfill a practical purpose nor does it usually have security vulnerabilities. Not taking a position on the substance, but these are two major differences between the two.
Art fulfills many practical purposes. You live in an abode designed by architects, presumably painted and furnished with many objects d'art such as, a couch, a wardrobe, ceiling fixtures, a bathtub; also presumably festooned with art on the walls; you cook and eat food in designed cookware, crockery and cutlery, and that food is frequently more than pure sustenance; and, presumably you spend a fair amount of time consuming media such as television, film, literature, music, comedy, dance, or even porn.
Art can be flawed. Programming is an exact set of instructions for a computer to comprehend in the most literal sense. There isn't nearly as much room for errors. A hallucination during image generation won't cause any damage. A hallucination regarding those very specific instructions can cause problems.
Programming is definitely not an exact science.
Armchair amateur here but there's often a lot of talk about O(n), memory optimization, trash cleanup, compression methods, race conditions, vertex choice in matrices etc...
It reminds me of the neo-plasticists, whose argument was there is no significant difference between painting a farmer next to a pile of hay vs painting a pink square next to a yellow square: both are just arranging representative symbols on a canvas.

my point exactly. practical purpose and security are things you can analyze and solve for as a machine at least in theory. artistic value comes from the artistic intent. by intent I don't mean to argue against death of the author, as I believe in it, but the very fact that there is intent to create art.

Other industries... ?
I work in QA, even devs who've worked for 10+ years make dumb mistakes every so often. I wouldn't want to do QA when AI is writing the software, it's just gonna give me even more work π«
I'm a senior developer and I sometimes even look back thinking "how the fuck did I make that mistake yesterday". I know I'm blind to my own mistakes, so I know testers may have some really valid feedback when I think I did everything right :)
That's what we're for in the end
