    Swear to God people don’t understand how software works at all. It’s like you said: solved problems don’t need AI. I wish more people understood this. AI is insanely inefficient and power-hungry. Are there applications where it works and is the best tool for the job? Maybe? I don’t know. The closest I’ve seen is in cases where you basically want to throw a bunch of random shit at the wall and see what sticks, and there’s no real way to automate that properly.

    But solved problems have solutions that are faster (like, orders of magnitude faster in most cases) and don’t consume anywhere near as much power than AI. And people clearly don’t understand how software works, because “power consumption” is a massive factor in how much you pay for cloud services (which is what most AI companies are doing).


  • I’ve been thinking of quitting my current job.

    It’s got good working conditions, but a lot of the people I work with are so massively incompetent and don’t give a shit that it makes working here miserable.

    The holidays just made me realize how utterly miserable I am. So I’ve updated my resume and I’ve started applying somewhere else.

    I come in today, and there’s like a hundred fires and everyone’s running around like headless chickens.

    I can’t wait to get the fuck out of here.

    I don’t really do New Years Resolutions, but holy shit my goal for 2024 is to get a new job.
