Since 2003

I'm still on X11 and happy with it ...

Me too, I was very loyal and then got laid off.

I lost my job due to AI.

Reality strikes back ...

2025

This shows that the people in charge have no idea. If they understood the topic, there would be no need for evidence.

Fully agree!

Politics should never drive technical decisions unless the people involved actually understand the technology. When policy is made without that expertise, open source becomes a political slogan instead of a sustainable ecosystem.

No, I’m not paying for his course, I just appreciate someone actually putting "fresh" (reworked) ideas into the world. And sure, everyone has a life; that’s not exactly a philosophical revelation. If “Hegelian enlightenment” is your punchline, you might want to remember that Hegel, like Heraclitus, Plotinus, Spinoza, and Kant, built entire systems by reworking older metaphysics. That’s how philosophy grows.

Dismissing someone else’s work as “illegitimate” when you haven’t reworked a single idea yourself isn’t critique: it’s just opting out of the conversation while pretending you’re above it.P.S.: for you; the brain’s prefrontal cortex literally relies on pattern‑integration, not invention from scratch.

If you already know all this, what stopped you from making an eye‑opening video and actually illustrating those Zoroastrian principles yourself? Calling someone derivative is easy; producing something better is not.

And if you’d really absorbed thinkers like Spinoza, Kant, Hume, or Leibniz, you’d know that reworking older metaphysical frameworks is literally how intellectual progress happens. Every major philosopher in that era built on ancient ideas — they didn’t sneer at people for revisiting them.

He's a genius. I mean it seriously. We brought this up in the context of AI sweeping away entire domains — IT jobs, text‑based decision‑making roles, lawyers, developers, project managers, customer support, accounting, translation, data entry, marketing content creation, and even parts of medicine and finance. What is your energy?

The entire industry is dead, let's face it.

Vibe coding… homeopathy for wannabe developers. How long until CTOs start adopting the same strategy for highly critical applications? Will they trust developers, or will they trust the speed of AI? Time is money, it’s only a matter of time before every human application is evaluated, its performance measured, and its correctness weighed against speed.

In 2025, the number of jobs cut by companies through closure increased to the highest level since 2011, while the share of employment moving between sectors also rose.

In addition, levels of inactivity related to ill health hit a high, with over 9 million people of working age out of work or not looking for work, many of them due to long-term sickness or early retirement.

Ultimately, very few people will be needed for projects in software engineering, Hinton predicted.

What if someone still doesn’t understand the code from the prompt— does it still make sense to call them a 'pro'?

Vibe coding? Is it like homeopathy for full grown and experienced devs?

I agree ...

BTW the data is impressive ...

I've had a similar experience. It requires strong nerves and a lot of patience.

Yes

At the end, AI can replace coders ...

Right :D

I was thinking the same thing ...
