Making middle management do everything is not ‘running a business’.
If middle management is doing everything aren’t they no longer middle management?
They get middle paychecks.
And vetoed on sensible decisions in favour of non-sensible ones that make the upper management larger bonuses.
Made by someone who doesn’t utilize LLMs effectively
I only program with LBP2 microchips.
“Engineering”
They’re not engineers and they’re too chicken shit to act like engineers.
Yeah, well, like most software engineers lol
I’m a huge stickler about degreeless website devs claiming to be Engineers but even I think they’re leagues above people who ask ChatGPT for advice.
Amateurs, I’m an AI artisté and demand big bucks for “my” art pieces. Also fuck everybody who made all the stuff that the AI stole from.
But is “prompt hacking” considered actual “hacking?”
mm yes ai
It’s not engineering either. Or art. It’s only barely writing, in an overly literal sense.
“prompt engineering” in itself is such an embarrassing term for the act of saying “computer uhhh show me epic boobies!!”
like that joke about calling dishwashing “submerged porcelain technician” but unironically
As a professional in the field of artificial neural networks, I endorse this meme wholeheartedly and will figuratively slake my thirst for schadenfreude on the tears of this child with joy.
Sounds like someone’s worried about how easily replaced they’ll be in the future…
You sound like a class traitor
Realist, maybe. Often a pessimist. Never really a class traitor. Besides, I’m more blue collar than white collar, so I’ve never gotten the luxury of working from home at a higher pay, so as far as being the same class…in the sense of rich vs everyone else, sure.
Your snide comment just seemed a bit too glee about people about to lose their job. Or at least: lacking in solidarity with them.
Forget the distinction between blue and white collar, or higher and lower income: these aren’t classes and the distinction onlyserves toseparateus in class struggle. I meant the “wage dependant class here”.
Looks like someone is excited about shit content pumped out as fast as computers can munge shit to spit
Nah, that’s going to blow, and I was talking about just that several months ago. The internet is going to be completely fucked, now. It has a nice little run of the golden years from like 1995 through about 2012. Decade after that was all downhill and the last year or so gas been a dumpster fire that’s still getting bigger.
Yeah, writing prompts it’s the long term goal, programming will be obsolete.
Nobody that can write a problem in a structured language, taking edge cases into account, will be able to write a prompt for a LLM.
Prompt writers will be the useful professionals, because NO big tech company is trying to make it obsolete making AI ubiquitous and transparent, aiming it to work for natural language requests made by normal users or simply from context clues. /s
Prompt engineering it’s the griftiest side of the latest AI summer. Look a who is selling the courses. The same people that sold crypto courses, metaverse courses, Amazon dropship store courses…
“prompt engineering”
Sounds made up af
The US add engineer to everything to sound most prestigious than they are. If you sell your service as a AI prompt writer, you get paid peanuts. If you sell the same service as AI prompt engineer, the C-Suites cream their pants.
So you’re telling me that people advertise themselves as AI programmers? That does not seem like something to brag about in such a manner
Lots of people think that computers are magic box. And now a diffuse entity in the cloud talk to them? Big heads will gobble that shit up.
Yeah right?
I’ve found it helpful in learning things about languages I’m unfamiliar with, but it seems like saying “I’m an AI programmer” means “I don’t really know what I’m doing in this language, I’m still learning.” Which I suppose shows a willingness to learn, but that’s about it.
It is, I believe the correct term is “proompt”
People in glass houses…
Software engineering isn’t engineering.
By how some teams operate, and some developers think, there is certainly cases where the “engineering” aspect is hard to find.
Yes, it is. Mostly because “real engineering” isn’t the high bar it’s made out to be. From that blog:
Nobody I read in these arguments, not one single person, ever worked as a “real” engineer. At best they had some classical training in the classroom, but we all know that looks nothing like reality. Nobody in this debate had anything more than stereotypes to work with. The difference between the engineering in our heads and in reality has been noticed by others before, most visibly by Glenn Vanderburg. He read books on engineering to figure out the difference. But I wanted to go further.
Software has developed in an area where the cost of failure is relatively low. We might make million dollar mistakes, but it’s not likely anybody dies from it. In areas where somebody could die from bad software, techniques like formal verification come into play. Those tend to make everything take 10 times longer, and there’s no compelling reason for the industry at large to do that.
If anything, we should lean into this as an advantage. How fast can we make the cycle of change to deployment?
I help make Healthcare software. Mistakes can easily lead to death. Not most, but it’s something we always have to worry about.

I had a coworker who got a gig writing PDA software for a remote-controlled baseball machine. He was to this day the most incompetent programmer I’ve ever met personally; his biggest mistake on this project was firing a 120 mph knuckleball (a pitch with no spin so its flight path is incredibly erratic) a foot over a 12-year-old kid’s head. This was the only time in my 25-year career that I had to physically restrain someone (the client, in this case) to prevent a fist fight. I replaced my coworker on the project after this and you can bet I took testing a little bit more seriously than he did.

It gives Kerbal Space Program energy.
In many cases this is accurate. Programming alone doesn’t amount to engineering. Lotta low quality lines of code being churned out these days because standards have dropped.
Looks like an ai did that
That’s the joke.
HATERS will say it’s fake
If you look close enough, all pictures are fake.
Is that you, Samsung?
Hey, no need to accuse the guy of cutting tvs to get out of honoring the warranty.
And HATERS will be absolutely correct
What prompt did you use to make this 🤨🤔
The irony. I bet the guy who prompted that calls himself an artist.
Was going to comment about how there is a stock photo for everything. Fingers seem too good for AI?
Nevermind, that kids right hand… 😅
Now look at his eyelids…
None of it even looks remotely correct to me, I can’t believe it’s passable for some people.
Also: the middle fingers are far too long

That includes some history, but not the prompt itself.
Looks like every Christmas I’ve ever had…
j/k, or am I?
No I am… but am I really? :-P
