@dahukanna@mastodon.social I can’t wait for this business model to crash - but I’m really sorry for all the workers who get run over on the way.

@dahukanna@mastodon.social Here’s a piece I wrote. I was considering Boeing and Kodak as candidates but planes falling out of the sky seemed harsh to make a point. https://technical.ly/company-culture/sony-intel-leadership-tech-decline-guest-post/

@dahukanna@mastodon.social I'm less familiar with these business case studies, so I did some reading. Kodak's downfall was from not embracing digital photography, despite producing the first digital camera. Boeing's ruination is from lax quality control due to outsourcing and cutting costs. So the connection you're making to LLM companies is that, despite bringing the technology to the masses, they're falling behind cheaper competitors. And that companies that don't manage quality control in their LLM use, the default state of affairs, are suffering due to mid-level engineer burnout. It's like the Boeing case, but with the effects directed outwards to customers. Is that it?

@dahukanna@mastodon.social Isn't there Stage 4, where they hire back a bunch of 'junior devs' to actually WRITE code, to 'get around' the LLM tokens nonsense?!

@dahukanna@mastodon.social I saw a video last night which said that AI means we can get junior engineers contributing faster. Was an interesting perspective! (I am just sharing this perspective, not advocating for it, or defending it). This is the video, most of his perspective made me depressed! https://youtu.be/h0hdaHPKDdI

@dahukanna@mastodon.social this is bullshit, cause AI is so new we don't know what it means but yes, we no longer employ one million women as telephone operators thanks to Craig's list, the news industry is in crisis thanks to Autocad, a very large number of draftsmen lost their jobs

@dahukanna@mastodon.social The not hiring juniors part has begun where I work, and I don't think this bodes well for the future of any business ... I expect frantic search for capable juniors and "who could've told us we still need to train people" once the bubble bursts ...
