| love the article slightly concerned tomorrow morning's top HN story will be karparthy telling us how dog-based LLM interfaces are the way of the future and you'll be left behind if you don't get in now (and then next week my boss will be demanding I do it) |

| The programming workspace of the future of the future will have three employees: A man, a dog and an instance of Claude. The dog writes the prompts for Claude, the man feeds the dog, and the dog stops the man from turning off the computer. |

Although, be careful. It reminds me of the foreword to a shortstory someone shared on HN recently: „[…] Read it and laugh, because it is very funny, and at the moment it is satire. If you’re still around forty years from now, do the existing societal equivalent of reading it again, and you may find yourself laughing out of the other side of your mouth (remember mouths?). It will probably be much too conservative.“ — https://www.baen.com/Chapters/9781618249203/9781618249203___... | | | |

| Everybody and their dog will be doing it. Actually, the dog will be in charge. Dogs are loyal, enthusiastic, and require less office space. With their endless desire to play and to please, they will take over the game development industry. In the meantime, the financial industry will be taken over by cats. |

| ▲ | charcircuit 34 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I can because I have also used similar arguments. There are people who say that you should use a real artist instead of AI due to AI's water use. Yet in actuality asking a human to draw something will require more water. There are people who think AI uses more resources than humans which is why it must be said. | |

| ▲ | the_af 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It helps to picture some sort of extraterrestrial saying this. Maybe someone like Alan Tudyk in "Resident Alien". It makes much more sense than to assume it's a human being saying these things. |

| CODEOWNERS will be replaced by the usual means of marking territory. Let's hope our laptops are liquid-proof. |

| Some dude vibe codes OpenPaw and gives credit to his XL Bully called Threadripper that would never hurt another person, gets acquired by OpenAI for 7 figures total comp purely on clout, and both simonw and Karpathy are calling it the next best development in AI because it draws penguins and industrialises slop while Sam Altman talks about the negative impact of human life compared to AI data centres while pleasuring Jony Ive in a coffee shop. |
