He forgot to mention we'll need 1000 more data centers and 3000 new prisons to manage the chaos. So confused by this billionaire behavior with wanting to control society.
I think Google is a bit sandbagging here knowing they have all the data and likely better models hiding. My theory is it's a bit of not disrupting the stock market direction by exposing whose really the boss. If they can do it cheaper, faster, and better, people start asking questions, especially with upcoming IPO's.
Why is that AI was supposed to help juniors shine, because plenty of so called "senior devs" have never really learned properly, bad habits, or lack technical breadth to be called that. This article is nothing more than what everyone else has been saying for two years, poorly at best. AI + coding has yet to hit it's stride and at some point highly specific LLM's will take into account of architecture, patterns, use-cases, compute environments, network, dev ops, testing, and coding to further equalize and close the gaps between the two roles. I've talked to seniors devs many are not interested in AI coding, just not the way they do things.
The only real advantage a senior dev has today is domain knowledge specific to a business in many cases. Even that is not much to hold on to because when layoffs come if nobody is hiring jr's then the seniors are getting axed.
You also risk senior talent who stay but doesn't want to change or adopt, at least with any urgency. AI will accelerate that journey of discovery and learning, so juniors are going to learn super fast.
I think it's a combination of both, the LLM's today for coding are just average containing a lot of pre-2024 knowledge. The vibe tools are getting around some of the shortcomings and increased token limits which is great, but up to date current knowledge can't rely on llm.txt doc updates as context and expect reasonable code generation. Give me some monthly updated topic related LLM's to use (coding, content writing, history), I don't need the entire world all the time.
Like a new diet every week, not everyone is losing weight. Great for snippets, suggestions, and helping with errors. But a long ways to go before it's more consistent and commonly used.
Pretty easy to filter out a majority of devs who don't know much including juniors before hiring. Not knowing stackflow doesn't mean much, but then again professors think that's cheating so why should they reference it. No reason to trash jr devs, they don't know what they don't know because colleges ignore what they need in preparation for real world interviews and readable resumes.
I'm sure that's happening right now. On the flipside will companies who hire in 4 years look at those CS/SWE kids as lessor skilled devs because they relied so much on AI to pass classes and didn't really learn?
Canon loves feature cripple but don't worry they'll incrementally add those features back on that next 4 year cycle. I've had the R5ii for a few days and would definitely use Topaz gigapixel if enlarging was needed.
Huge gap for building self service tools/dashboards for execs, just no sense of the schema and data to make them sql writers which you don't want. When metabase showed a version last year with AI, you could see right away without some knowledge of the data model your just grasping at writing the correct prompt.
A huge costly mistake for Sprint trying to grow subscribers. Nextel's network was incompatible with Sprints, just a ton of business and technical issues. Sprint was always trying to be on the forefront of technology whether wireless or fiber. They spent a ton money on a project called ION that was last mile fiber to businesses, ahead of there time but a ton of costs actually laying down fiber doomed it. Poor timing for a lot of ideas and projects I saw.

Buy an external usb drive, 1 or 2 bays with a 16 to 22tb drives and consolidate everything. Use backblaze for unlimited storage. If really only have around 6tb of actual data, a 2 bay external drive mirrored will be sufficient.
