The programming workspace of the future of the future will have three employees:
replyA man, a dog and an instance of Claude.
The dog writes the prompts for Claude, the man feeds the dog, and the dog stops the man from turning off the computer.
Thank you for the good laugh! This whole thread is peak satire.
Although, be careful. It reminds me of the foreword to a shortstory someone shared on HN recently: „[…] Read it and laugh, because it is very funny, and at the moment it is satire. If you’re still around forty years from now, do the existing societal equivalent of reading it again, and you may find yourself laughing out of the other side of your mouth (remember mouths?). It will probably be much too conservative.“ — https://www.baen.com/Chapters/9781618249203/9781618249203___...
replyI for one welcome our furry overlords
replyYou're right. They did it. The old man and dog joke has been realized, but the real answer of the future turned out to be: "the dog programs the game, and the man feeds the treat hopper."
replyEverybody and their dog will be doing it. Actually, the dog will be in charge. Dogs are loyal, enthusiastic, and require less office space. With their endless desire to play and to please, they will take over the game development industry.
replyIn the meantime, the financial industry will be taken over by cats.
>In the meantime, the financial industry will be taken over by cats.
replyCats would certainly be less flummoxed by stock values suddenly plummeting; they may even enjoy knocking them over.
They also don't take 20 years to become smart like pesky resource-exhausting humans. I bet you could be up and running from a pup in 10-20 months.
replyI still can’t believe Altman said that. I mean I can, but still.
replyI can because I have also used similar arguments. There are people who say that you should use a real artist instead of AI due to AI's water use. Yet in actuality asking a human to draw something will require more water. There are people who think AI uses more resources than humans which is why it must be said.
replyThese guys can't watch a dystopian scifi movie without picturing themselves as the bad guy.
replyIt helps to picture some sort of extraterrestrial saying this. Maybe someone like Alan Tudyk in "Resident Alien". It makes much more sense than to assume it's a human being saying these things.
replyCODEOWNERS will be replaced by the usual means of marking territory. Let's hope our laptops are liquid-proof.
replyLooking for the headline about "dogs replacing engineers"...
replyI’m not ok with robots replacing people but dogs replacing people? now you’ve got my attention
replythis is a really funny comment. underrated.
replyThe world is not ready for BarkGPT.
replyCatGPT would be cool but when you really wanted to chat, it would just ignore you.
replyThe funniest thing here is that you think you will still have a boss next week. They can just hire the dog now!
replySome dude vibe codes OpenPaw and gives credit to his XL Bully called Threadripper that would never hurt another person, gets acquired by OpenAI for 7 figures total comp purely on clout, and both simonw and Karpathy are calling it the next best development in AI because it draws penguins and industrialises slop while Sam Altman talks about the negative impact of human life compared to AI data centres while pleasuring Jony Ive in a coffee shop.
replyPlease, be real.
replyThere will be a Simon Wilison submission linking to his blog linking to karpathy xit. You know, the usual good stuff.
Have you any idea what you have just done? You have uttered his name and now he has been summoned. You have doomed us all.
replyI scrolled this thread fearing seeing that name and a SVG of a dog riding a bike
