Why would I want my kids to code at this point? AI codes better already. This isn't like John Henry and the steam engine. This is John Henry vs. a space ship.
Why? That's an easy one. Money. AI does it "better" and faster, according to pointy hair bosses that don't care they've given every employee a nuke without a safety. Love the downvotes. I am working in this biz right now. Believe or don't believe it. It's already coming and practically here. I have not written code in the last 12 months and I am evaluated on how much AI I have used. We are pruning people that are not using it or willing to learn how to use it. You won't stop it. I won't stop it and certainly the government is not going to stop it. We can rage all we want. This is here now. It's not going anywhere.
AI has better test coverage. Less bugs and vulnerabilities. Way faster. especially when a company uses a proper AI Software Development Lifecycle. Not better than humans by a little. By factors. And is probably the scariest thing in my orbit right now. Every company adopting this is only concerned about beating their competitor. So all notion of safely is completely out the window.
That sounds like why would I want my kids to learn math. Calculators do it better anyways.
Why would I want my kids to learn to write. LLMs do it faster anyways.
Reason schools teach the basics before letting students using the shortcuts is to first develop the foundations needed to know what is going on.
So even if they aren't doing anything as machines do it they can still oversee what is going on if errors occur, which someone who doesn't know anything at all wouldn't be able to do. And if someome with no understanding without AI can do it then the human isn't needed at all at that point.
Given how many people fail learning from history, I can see why WasabiWabbit@lemmy.ca decided to betray his class. The foundations of class consciousness doesn't exist. So we’ll continue repeating the poem of history.
Two questions for you:
irt WasabiWabbit or Australian STEM Videogame Challenge?
2.a) I refute these claims. 2.b) liberate games
That's some pretty strong disagreement...
Yeah, but not inappropriate behavior, just disappointing. I have class consciousness. People hired in game studios seem are hired based on how class treacherous they are. WasabiWabbit proved he’s not beyond grifting future programming.
I think you are very out of touch with reality.
why do you say so?
