  • Taking data from one system and populating another? That’s AI.

    Well, it is. You just have to go back enough in time to find the context when people still called it so.

    Gotta use those automatic computers full of electronic brains to do all those tasks that used to take years on rooms full of people with chemical brains hired as computers!



  • You want Mad Max? Well, better make it happen fast, because there won’t be enough oil for it!

    Mad Max is about the end of oil.

    The first movie was all with ethanol vehicles, that people converted after oil run out. The second movie is about a group of people that found an old tanker ship, and one pulling oil drop by drop from a dead wheel. The third movie is about people using methane for everything because there was no more oil.

    And then the next two are about huge reserves of surface oil all over the place.




  • Boilerplate unit tests.

    It will generate bad tests, so you will have lots of tests blocking your work, but won’t actually test the important properties.

    Mass refactoring.

    That’s an amount of trust in the LLM capacity to not create hidden corner cases and your capacity to review large-scale changes that… I find your complete faith disturbing.
