If so, then we really are lost

Not sure of your point. Zuckerberg should absolutely be locked up too.

mashbooqto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding"English6·9 months agoI’m not trained in formal computer science, so I’m unable to evaluate the quality of this paper’s argument, but there’s a preprint out that claims to prove that current computing architectures will never be able to advance to AGI, and that rather than accelerating, improvements are only going to slow down due to the exponential increase in resources necessary for any incremental advancements (because it’s an NP-hard problem). That doesn’t prove LLMs are end of the line, but it does suggest that additional improvements are likely to be marginal.
mashbooqto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding"English8·9 months agoThe one colleague using AI at my company produced (CUDA) code with lots of memory leaks that required two expert developers to fix. LLMs produce code based on vibes instead of following language syntax and proper coding practices. Maybe that would be ok in a more forgiving high level language, but I don’t trust them at all for low level languages.

mashbooqto Web Development@programming.dev•In a leaked recording, Amazon cloud chief tells employees that most developers could stop coding soon as AI takes over2·9 months agoAre you able to share what kinds of applications and what languages you write in? I’m still trying to grasp why LLM programming assistants seem popular despite the flaws I see in them, so I’m trying to understand the cases where they do work.
For example, my colleague was writing CUDA code to simulate optical physics, so it’s possible that the LLM’s failure was due in part to the niche application and a language that is unforgiving of deviations from the one correct way of writing things.

(To be fair, I don’t think he included “don’t have memory leaks” in the prompt.)

The fact that he cites Musk as a credible source on “AI” says it all.

They should just pull themselves out of the water by their bootstraps.
