i like how this research (and others related) kind of supports the idea that free will might be lacking. I still keep a pinch of skepticism about this idea, understanding that it's just a concept. But personally i like it, because it even fells a bit relieving... not to say that it helps you abandon responsibility, but it makes your stance on life easier, and pushes you not to blame yourself too much for your weaknesses.

I remember reading a CF blog post about crawler separation and responsible AI bot principles where they argue every bot should have one distinct purpose. Now they're building crawling infrastructure themselves, and their own /crawl endpoint lists "training AI systems" as a use case alongside regular crawling. So not only are they in the crawling business now, they're not following the separation principle. To be fair, there's a business logic here. But it's hard not to notice the irony.

There are many days where I feel like the right thing for my career is to focus on building meaningful software that solves an actual problem. Then there are days like today, especially after seeing this.
they are seeking talent, not buying the product. this is a valid strategy for devs - just to attract attention no matter what.
Curious whether people here see value in this kind of research: using alternative public data to assess vendor risk before a breach, rather than after. We're aware that "we found signals before a known breach" is a weaker claim than "these signals predicted a breach we didn't know about yet." Is retrospective analysis like this useful to practitioners, or does it only matter if it can be made prospective?
In my experience, tech employment is incredibly bimodal right now. Top candidates are commanding higher salaries than ever, but an "average" developer is going to have an extremely hard time finding a position.
Contrary to what many say, I don't think it's simple as seniors are getting hired and juniors aren't. Juniors are still getting hired because they're still way cheaper and they're just as capable as using AI as anyone. The people getting pushed out are the intermediates and seniors who aren't high performers.
This matches what I've seen too. Though I'd add another dimension: soft skills. In my experience, job searching has always been easier for people who communicate well regardless of their technical level. And soft skills might be what's making some people more resilient to this market shift specifically

Saw the edit: I think that clarification was important.
The core point resonates with me personally. The shift isn't about writing less code, it's about where the real judgment lives. Knowing what to build, how to decompose a problem, which patterns to reach for - and critically, when the model is confidently wrong. Without that foundation you're not moving faster, you're just making bad decisions faster.
The scope point resonates too. Small, well-defined tasks with verifiable output is where agents actually shine.

Curious about the baseline choice. modded-nanogpt was optimized for wall-clock speed, not data efficiency, so it seems like an unusual reference point for this kind of benchmark. Why not vanilla NanoGPT?
oh it reminds me of all these claims regarding "bad" TV shows, "bad" songs, "bad" movies, etc. i understand that AI gives you a deeper feeling of interaction, but let's be honest - if you have a mental illness anything can be a trigger. that's sad, but it looks like personal responsibility rather than a corporate one
