Gonna want the sound on for this one boys

One of the all-time great videos.

abled people are so funny because theyll be like 😳 wow i didnt think of that 😳 and its like yeah i'll bet

so thats actually what those of us in the industry call uh. "the problem"

Yeah, it's kind of funny that a lot of companies are now re-hiring junior programmers to save on LLM credits, but it's not surprising. From a pure line-goes-up perspective, working people to death is almost always better than automation. That isn't an indictment of LLMs in particular – it's just how this shit works.

Like, yeah, joke about the "self-driving car" service that turned out to be employing remote drivers in the Philippines if you want, but it's not only a tech grift; the fact of the matter is that even if the technology was there, making that guy in the Philippines pull sixteen-hour shifts with no bathroom breaks until he dies of a bladder infection is almost certainly cheaper than "real" AI would be, and that's the actual reason they do it. They wouldn't deliver on their promises even if they could.

this fetish stuff is getting out of hand what the fuck is word play
