Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

will this sure is gonna go well :sarcmark:

it almost feels like when Google+ got shoved into every google product because someone had a bee in their bonnet

flipside, I guess, is that we'll soon (at scale!) get to start seeing just how far those ideas can and can't scale

Since I'm using D for most of my coding projects, Copilot is mostly useless. I can do boilerplate stuff with metaprograming way easier and at a way more consistent pace, not to mention it's easier to modify. And at least ChatGPT, does not know what to do with D attributes, and just randomly puts them everywhere for functions, since it's way less of an AI than how tech people try to sell it (statistical probability based on Markov chains and some small context windows rather than actually understanding what it does).
