Every programmer working on a problem right now knows that's complete bullshit.
That said, I would love for robots to take over all of our jobs. Just make sure they're working for all of us and not just the people at the top.
Yeah, I put a request for just that in the corporate comment box, hope to hear back with those assurances real soon now.
It seems to me that you live in some kind of rainbow world, this will never happen. If robots replace humans, it means that humans, as useless consumers of resources, will be destroyed.
Yep. That's the plan.
Is it okay that robots dispose of billionaires along with everyone else? Okay, I don't care anymore.
lol There aren't even discussions happening about rules of robotics or anything along those lines. It's just a race into the unknown with no real sense of direction.
The human way
The dumb human way. Asimov was human too.
We can achieve purpose without production, but nobody understands what that looks like and they want to hold onto their roles in production until they feel secure about not needing to produce for society to survive.
I'm hopeful that humans won't need to trade their lives to make others rich. AI and Robotics might be a path toward that if the people are the benefactors.
Worked with playwright in C# .NET today and lol the "AIs" knew shit about it. Constantly mixed C# with JavaScript and Python code together and it was incoherent
Then your input is wrong. I mainly work in .net c# and playwright and I have agents building my e2e tests in playwright with just test cases and test steps. These are custom agents I built myself that have the guardrails in place for the agent to stay in bounds.
The agents are getting pretty good at reviewing code, too. You don't have to listen to everything they say, but they do point out a lot of stuff that you pretty much have to admit: yeah, that would be better if I changed it to the suggested revision.
I wasnt building test cases :)
The point was that AI can use playwright and write in C# just fine. Tests was an example of that.
Tests are a great use for AI coding, lately. Six months ago Claude Sonnet was writing tests that always passed without testing anything, that has improved dramatically with Opus 4.5/4.6 - it actually hits the functionality now, not just code coverage.
