I will thanks! And the learning part is what I’m happy about most. It’s a different way of learning, though. Obviously in not really getting in deep , since I’m not debugging and researching, but I can see that I understand more every time I’m doing it.

Thank you, wise man, for warning me about something AI is telling me to check each time anyway, thank you about warning me about something Id have almost no issues with us it happens. Very wise words 😀.

Sorry, I don’t mean to be so sarcastic. I understand many are triggered hard with even a mention of ai. I sort of try to understand. But like I said, I’m a very pragmatic man with not a lot of time and AI has helped me do little projects that I only dreamed I could do.

Btw: I already ordered an Arduino kit, I was thinking of building a light controlled alarm clock set in three oak wood cubes. Cause I do very basic woodworking too and ai is going to do the Arduino part! Fantastic people. It’s just fantastic!

This is sooo amazing. Everything already exists! It’s like nextcloud. Why is this not a household name?

I can’t wait to get a couple of hours of time to get into this! Thanks!

I don’t really think it’s my funeral, since I’m not that invested. It could destroy everything and I’d still have a backup. Worst case scenario, I’d lose… not sure id lose anything really. Best case scenario I’m not sure, but realistic scenario I can do stuff I’d normally need a ton of effort while still having a bunch of quality time with my family.

I’m not to worried about the tech magnets, they look quite incompetent to me.

The name ai has been used to describe many things. We called Chess engines ai, we still call video game opponents ai. Even the guy who coined the phrase intended it to describe something that is simulating inteligence. I think LLMs are something that completely fit the bill. When we invent something better, we will probably stop calling LLMs ai, but I think it’s completely fair to do it until then. It’s a simulation, I think the general public understanding is that this is not a living intelligence we are conversing with.

Validate what it’s telling you against actual sources, and it can indeed be helpful. Yes, but… I don’t have to do this anymore, because I ask it to explain each command to me and while I would still struggle without it, right now I call already understand the commands. It can’t delete everything or something epic like that. I don’t use agents for this stuff, that would be more risky.

However… I often wonder when I do cli commands and paste them back to llms, how stupid that is. Maybe it’s still necessary to keep control? But when I extrapolate into the future and let’s say llms get just a bit more reliable, doing all the stuff I did would take no effort at all.

I think of it sort of like soup. You don’t need soup to be extremely well defined to work. Sure you can mess it up, but it’s not that likely and if that situation doesn’t hold a big financial penalty then why not risk away?

Also, I’m not some ai evangelist. I’m more like extremely pragmatic.

I understand I’m going to get downvoted and hated for this, but AI.

It’s amazing. Basically I started with Linux, set up everything, gamed, set up a server, jellyfin, torrents, nextcloud ( fantastic btw, so so happy with this), all over cloudflare ( didn’t even know what that is before), webserver. I host a bunch of stuff now for my climbing club. I moved all my services to some open source stuff that ai helps me install and use.

I have zero time to research this stuff on me own with the family and work, bit I did All this stuff. It’s amazing.

Next I’m buying a bunch of sensors and connecting them to the server and I want to have an app that shows what’s going on with temperature and humidity and microwave movement sensor,… I have no idea how any of this will work, but I’m confident I will do it which is just bizarre really.

Linux is awesome, ai is awesome too help me do all this stuff.

They should be having more kids.

Yeah, it’s interesting how strangely development is presented, like programming is only about writing code. They still do that when they tout ai coding capabilities.

I’m not against ai, it’s amazing how quickly you can build something. But something small and limited one person can build. The whole human experience is missing, laziness, boredom, communication and issues with communication,… to actually build a good product that’s more than a simple app.

Yeah, that’s true I guess. I’m using ai from protona lot for my complicated medical conditions and it’s helpful, still would be better to have it local. Especially if it had good features.

A friend of mine is building something like that. You scan all the documents and you can set reminders, it does summaries and proposes actions and a buck of other really neat stuff It’s ai. I think it’s a good use case. But the ai means it has to call a server with the information, so I can’t get past that.

I think that’s really beautiful.

It’s strange, but I’ve seen lots of comments that are not aware this is fake. The ai hater crowd is using it as their proof, the other side saying he is using it wrong.

Jesus effin Christ! I had no idea! This is madness! This is … Omfg I just can’t

That makes sense. People are starting to use it more, but for less elaborate things where they still have control.

Both very nice ideas, I’m interested in how effective they really are

Great thread, thanks everyone

What is that a database is not de-duplicated?

I don’t know about overestimating… Check this out: https://lovable.dev/

And it’s not about how this can’t completely replace developers. Maybe not today, but this product will just get better and better and better. This thing never sleeps and it costs way less than a developer. I think there are uncertain years ahead. Right now, I think that if I was at a point of my life to choose my career, I’d choose something that can’t be done remotely on the computer.

I’m trying to figure out where this is all going myself. Maybe farming or carpentry?

What you guys think how AI influences the progress of programming. In two years the profession will look a lot different than today. I’m a designer and even today I’m pretty much able to make apps for myself practically without coding. This will only get simpler with complex apps. I’m not saying they are coded well, but they work. In two years, in less, probably in a few months there will be swarms of ai agents programming the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we won’t need you, the experienced programmers, but how much jobs will there be for new people?

And I know there is a lot of ai hate on lemmy so please spare me with that.
