Anybody getting fatigued from these constant gatekeeper articles around LLMs? They are fine, they are getting better and we are seeing wide usage, its making impact, especially on software and software jobs (why I am working 3 remote jobs with it).

It seems the people who use it and see good results are busy doing, and the rest are either just expressing their opinions as facts and trying to tell others what to think and how they are wrong. I pay zero attention to those people they have no skin in the game.

I am glad for you at an individual level, but isn't part of this about understanding aggregate effects?

Neither you nor anyone can really know those without talking it out with people, to understand how all corners of the human experience are seeing things play out

If I were to just care if it's working out for me, that's perhaps like a farmer who's got a lot of dry good in storage being like "I'm all good" while not realizing how much trouble they're in if all their neighbors start starving after a drought...

Sounds like the fine-grain experience of being you is settled, but that doesn't say much about the larger coarse-grained experience of being you in society. People need to talk to tell you how that's gonna play out for you

I find your comment extremely arrogant and condescending. Society will adapt and they don't need people gatekeeping AI or LLMs with all sorts of prophecies and dooming.

Why should I feel bad about working 3 remote jobs with the help of AI ?

Do your three employers know that you're doing this? if not, it's fraud, and you'd better hope that they don't catch on. Check your employment paperwork.

explain to me how it is fraud when they are satisfied with the work and im hitting all their milestones why would I tell them I am working for 3 employers how does that serve my interest and why do you insist on having employers have all the edge in the relationship and non as the employee for the first time i have rid the shackles of the bondage as old as the industrial revolution thanks to AI and your response is to continue being a good honest slave for one master ???? that makes no sense to me what do you gain by not diversifying your employment income in this economy seems rather foolish not to work for multiple employees

if i get caught I just replace them with another remote job thank you for your concern

		Holy run-on sentence batman, maybe you do need AI. Your employers are (likely, some assumption here) paying for the productivity of a full time employee. You have figured out that they're satisfied with a third of that productivity. You are the reason why there are so many return-to-office mandates, because you're projecting the idea that remote employees cannot be trusted. You're making it worse for everyone. Good luck. Edit, added after the original reply: You are also taking 3 jobs in a market where many people struggle to find one. You are hoarding resources. Enjoy the 3 paychecks, also rot in hell.

You apparently find any comment with so much as a hint of disagreement as “arrogant and condescending”.

Why participate on a public forum if that’s how you’re going to react?

		I'm not sure what your parent thinks arrogant and condescending mean either. Both you and your sibling commenter were very professional imo

No. In fact the opposite.

I’m happy that people are willing to question things in the face of unbridled optimism. Your comment dismissing the people working on actually figuring out what the models are doing as “not-doers” included.

Some are picturing themselves as intelligent for their quick adoption and rushing ahead, others are picturing them as toddlers running into the street before looking both ways.

Again, another very condescending and arrogant take painting others who see economic benefit from AI use.

Explain to me how working 3 remote jobs as a result of AI is "rushing ahead".

Also reading through your comments, you seem to repeatedly use frightening analogies to make your points, instead of really offering any depth to your opinions with relevant examples not involving children and toddlers. Your own profile describes yourself as "Cybersecurity - Babysitter for devs" for one. I find this unsettling.

		I’m glad you have the context of my profession as a security professional. Part of my client base is very interested in those working multiple jobs and breaching contracts. So help me reconcile this: >Explain to me how working 3 remote jobs as a result of AI is "rushing ahead". Do you honestly think that splitting your work between 3 companies allows you to provide secure and quality code to each of them? I can tell you that multiple people have used their over employment as an excuse as to why they deployed highly insecure applications leading to breaches that I’m called in for. Of course only after we press them about it.
