tl;dr: Chill, y'all: AI Will Not Devour SE
Social media provide a steady diet of dire warnings that artificial intelligence (AI) will make software engineering (SE) irrelevant or obsolete. To the contrary, the engineering discipline of software is rich and robust; it encompasses the full scope of software design, development, deployment, and practical use; and it has regularly assimilated radical new offerings from AI. Current AI innovations such as machine learning, large language models (LLMs) and generative AI will offer new opportun…

Van Mistral naar Microsoft: Copilot blijft voorlopig pilot bij UWV
Het gaat om een tijdelijke en beperkte pilot, benadrukt minister Vijlbrief in antwoord op vragen van D66. ‘Die past binnen de rijksbrede kaders voor verantwoord gebruik van generatieve AI met de kanttekening dat er geen open of Europees AI-model voorhanden is.’

If #AI is being democratized, then where can the people vote against building data centers?

Because #AI agents running on a phone or a computer can’t create enough fuck-ups on their own, #OpenAI now brings them to cute little devices near you. So much for the self-constraint they called for a few weeks ago.

At this point in time, is getting more text for training still improving intelligence, or is it just about extracting the knowledge out of the further text corpora?

When reading headlines that include “Gen AI” I am always tempted to read this as “generation AI” and it very often fits or even improves the text ;-)

AI and being "left behind"
A century-old company adopts AI. We don't have to.

Yet more proof that synthetic users are bullshit.
As with all #AI products, they do not improve "productivity" but create an excuse not to do the task.
AI participants do not help you do research, but to AVOID research. Research is done to *challenge* our assumptions. Synthetic users' only purpose is to allow those assumptions to remain unchallenged.
They are not "research but faster." They are "going with your gut, but with extra steps to cover your ass."
