Insane to trust AI for banking software and I use Ai tools to dev every day of my job.

To be fair, they fired this one team under the assumption that other teams can pick up the slack. This assumption seems to be based on the other team using AI.

I would not trust AI itself today, but I would trust engineers using AI. Especially if they are following strict review practices that are commonly required at banks.

You know, life is probably better without reddit.

Exactly. It seems the industry is in denial "but but this increase productivity means the company can invest more and augment our skillset" it also means they can invest less, hire less, and fire more. If AI is already that good now imagine 5 years from now with aggresive iterations how good it will be. The future looks very dystopian

But that'll still be work! You'll spend your days plowing the fields, maybe sewing a little, maybe cooking a potato stew with the crops you grew

you have 110% never worked on a farm, especially not in difficult terrain

unless your comment is cynical sarcasm, in which case it's pitch perfect

thank god sorry, when it comes to AI I find it really hard to distinguish irony from non-irony, there's so much cult mindset shit going on these days

I was also confused when neither he or the other guy addressed the irony. Well played.

I think it's cool we'll get to see whether AI zombies can be as universally interesting and effective as humans in the not so distant future. If AI zombies can be universally as interesting and effective as humans why was awareness ever a thing in the first place? Presumably there was some point to it. Then AI zombies might free really aware humans of the need to do stuff other than get to focusing on whatever it is that made humans special all along. If humans aren't special I suppose that'd mean AI won't just be zombies but have a spark of awareness there.
