    No it doesn't. I mentioned it in the IT thread but these AI products are SAAS products. Everyone is getting sweetheart deals right now. Across the org devs are running up $1k/month in Cursor costs at the moment. The cost per prompt is more or less depending on complexity. They won't tell you...

    I think training is the wrong word to use here because training a data model has a specific data science context and you can't reuse training material without warping the end result. Maybe that's just me. I just say "providing constraints." The Dockerfiles you mention are just files. As long as...

    This is how we use a MCP. For this exact use case. It works and saves lots of time. But you do have to know what you are asking about and tell it where to look.

    You don't pay for training cost in this way. Essentially you have an AI Agent. You can name it whatever. It will use a general protocol like Claude to parse something. With this AI you are training it by providing it constraints. Example Constraints: Use only X repo for reference code. When...

    Where you will need skilled developers is the same place you currently need them. People who understand systems of systems and the many layers of integration it requires to make them work. AI cannot fill that gap. It will always be weak in truly understanding why your 20 years of business rules...

    I have no problem with AI by itself. You are far too dense to comprehend this for some reason. The entire problem will be when you have teams of people "vibe coding" everything into existence without understanding a single underlying principle of what they are doing. They will have no way to...

    You are the one making shit up here. I have to use AI all day and I am tasked with finding better ways to use AI... literally all day. Along with the rest of my entire company. Management has the expectation that AI will reduce the completion time of tasks by like 30% or more. AI cannot function...

    All of the IT retards on FOH are being forced to shoehorn AI into every conceivable thing and use it all day everyday. That is where our commentary is coming from. Not your wild dumbass speculation.

    In every industry throwing down with AI it will be the same outcome. Retards will attempt to punch above their weight class by leaning on AI to fill a knowledge and skill gap that is clearly beyond them. As they don't understand what it's doing but wish to use the output as if they did they will...

    Oh good. The retard strikes again. Clearly you skipped reading the parts where I am actively employing AI for all kinds of shit. A retard with a scientific calculator in 1980 will still not be able to do trigonometry. As he wouldn't understand the principles to even plug and chug the numbers to...

    Our security architect is the one who brought it up and the guy is generally not retarded. I don't know the details but its been a big enough issue that they are stripping out all of the agents we spent the past six months getting ready for the time being. I do not know how he came to that...

    We're having a spat with Cursor because our team deals with lots of PII. Despite our Enterprise agreement it seems some of the language was a little off and it's likely that Cursor is scraping data the agent parses despite them saying they aren't doing this.

    I used cursor to to this the other day: "Go into this database schema DATABASE.KAFKA_SCHEMA and look at every table. These are all Kafka topics of various things. Return to me queries that parse the JSON into a tabular output and handle all nested data down to 3 levels. Beyond that just leave...

    I use it heavily at work. We are building tons of them for various processes within the company. We also sell one for our product now. As it is designed to work within the confines of the platform and your instance of it. The idea is that if you use our product it should be able to reliably...

    Bro. The Replicator is even more bullshit. They just handwave it away that it for some reason can't make the EXACT thing you need for the plot. It also can't make weapons or anything for lol reasons. The ones in the show were always small as a microwave but you'd have industrial size...

    Sure. This is fine for little pet projects and other dumb shit that doesn't impact anything. What you are really discussing is another layer of abstraction.

    I read the Giza Power Plant book recently. The guy's conclusions are of course very interesting but his observations (along with many others over the centuries) are spot on. It's compounded by mainstream archaeology just handwaving away things and claiming it was either an earthquake or...

    I don't see that as a benefit. Offloading your ability to just do something simple like write complete thoughts to AI is not a good idea. The purpose of writing a book report is not just to write something. It's to teach you to read a text and criticize it. Understanding what you read and what...

    I was thinking about this the other day. With how rampant kids use AI to avoid doing schoolwork the next generation will be thinking only in prompts. Permanently. The ability to just write an essay on your own using just what's in your head will be unbelievable to them.

    @TomServo Today's episode of using AI in the company. We have a custom AI Agent for the IT team. I had a cert update that broke a bunch of my CLI stuff and I know it was the cert. I get directed to the AI. The AI instructs me on how to use system permissions to simply remove all the default...

    LLM's are extremely expensive to train. Indians were cheaper and almost as good. Somewhere out there a middle manager has a fabulous bullet point for working at an AI company and reducing product costs!

    I think life is funny that way sometimes. An old HS classmate of mind rocked way too hard in her twenties and early thirties.
