This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Translation: "We're going to make the suite for building, testing, and deploying so obnoxiously difficult to integrate with your work environment that in two years nobody in your DevOps team will be able to get anything to a release state."
Me, fiddling with a config file for a legacy Perl script that's been holding up the ass-end of the business since 1996: "Uh, yeah that's great."
A company I used to work for outsourced most of their coding to a company in India. I say most because when the code came back the internal teams anways had to put a bunch of work in to fix it and integrate it with existing systems. I imagine that, if anything, LLMs will just take the place of that overseas coding farm. The code they spit out will still need to be fixed and modified so it works with your existing systems and that work is going to require programmers.
So instead of spending 1 day writing good code, we'll be spending a week debugging shitty code. Great.
I feel sorry for all those people in AWS that now have him as a leader...
Seriously how can these CEOs of a GPU company not talk to a developer. You have loads of them to interview
They obviously have to sell something. I doubt that they honestly think that this will happen.
How will federal contracts work?
Sure, Microsoft is happy to let their AIs scan everyone else’s code., but is anyone aware of any software houses letting AIs scan their in-house code?
Any lawyer worth their salt won’t let AIs anywhere near their company’s proprietary code intil they are positive that AI isn’t going to be blabbing the code out to every one of their competitors.
But of course, IANAL.
The LLMs they train on their code will only be accessible internally. They won’t leak their own intellectual property.
Will that not be more experiensive than having developers?
Yeah which is why this is a dumb statement from Amazon. But then again I don't expect C-suite managers to really understand the intricacies of their own companies.
Of course not. It will be more expensive and they'll still have to pay developers to figure out what's wrong with their AI code.
Depends on the use case. Training local llms is a lot cheaper after Galore and there are ways to get useful local models with only a moderate amount of effort, see e.g. augmentoolkit.
This may or may not be practical in many use cases.
24 months is pretty generous but no doubt there will be significantly less demand for junior developers in the near future.
Possibly. It’s hard to know without seeing the numbers and assessing output quality and volume.
Also it’s not unheard of that some bigwig wastes millions of company €€ for some project they fancy. (Billions if they happen to be Elon)
If only we had an overarching structure that everyone in society has agreed exists for the purposes of enforcing laws and regulating things. Something that governs people living in a region... Maybe then they could be compelled to show exactly what they're using, and what those models are being trained with.
Oh well.
All the manufacturers of mechanical keyboards just cried 🥺
Can I join anyone's band of AI server farm raiders 24 months from now? Anyone forming a group? I will bring my meat bicycle.
