They are trying, just give them a bit more time and money and money and money and money.
and all the water+energy a small country needs.

They said they are doing some coding at their non-coding job. It would be good if AI could replace amateur programmers, it would make better code and take a load off the workers
Not in the first comment, and I replayed to the second one only because they were acting like a stereotypical obnoxious redditor. As for LMM use, sure it could replace them, just give it a little more time and more money and a bit more money and some more money and also enough data server centres to suck dry entire lakes

Everyone complains about water consumption, energy use, and pollution of the ai yet fail to compare the use to its human counterparts
Ah, just kill half the humans. That will make water consumption go way down. Follow me for more resource-saving tips

I'm not a coder, but my job requires a bunch of menial, boring coding. I do numerical simulations. After mathematically understanding the numerical method, it's basically half a step above data entry. There's also a bunch of legacy fortran code I have to build on that has zero documentation and three letter variables. This would be one of the few actually good applications of text generating machine learning imo.
If it has three letter variables, chances are it was also written by someone that doesn't want to code either

Turning off AI data centers will instantly save water and energy and reduce pollution.
But the "human counterparts" will still eat and shower if you fire them.
So unless you are planning to murder all the unemployed people, your argument makes no sense at all.

Or your employer would invest some money in a proper tool for your job.

Please exit the job market and let people who want to code make money
Wait, people will pay me to code?

It's so old that it was for purposes of saving memory.

Nobody has built a tool that executes a mathematical method that I have developed or at least adapted, at least not before I publish the method.

So why haven’t you published the method?

Because I'm in academia and it's a slow process to get things published in a way that 'counts' to the university and scientific community. I often need to implement stuff first to check a few things, whether it's viable etc.

That’s not how it works. Put it on GitHub like the rest of us and stop making excuses.

I'm sorry to tell you this but people do not, in fact, publish mathematical proofs on GitHub routinely. You publish them on arxive once the paper is done. And then in a journal. The solvers themselves aren't even what it's about at all, they're just to do numerical experiments with to have some examples. They aren't immediately useful for any applications outside niche research.

You’re right that mathematical proofs are usually published on arXiv and then in journals. But since you mentioned code: sharing code on GitHub is actually very normal in research. Even if it’s just a solver or scripts for experiments, putting it on GitHub helps with reproducibility, gives others a chance to learn from or build on your work, and makes it easy to cite. There’s no obligation to polish it perfectly—lots of research repos are just “as is” snapshots to support a paper.

Listen to yourself, Thinking I'd start the reduction with unemployed people as if there isn't another class of people who do less for society. Try to think outside of the boomer education you received and those indoctrination Sundays

To be very honest, I'm also a tad embarrassed to share my code. I guess I'll ask my professor about this.

Found Thanos account liked subscribed for more dumb Hollywood ideas.

Now, that is completely understandable. This is also a reason I don’t publish most of my things. They work, they work well, but… Some of it is kind of nasty. However, other developers are going to understand. Just mention this in the read me file. Or better yet, use this as an opportunity to refactor code. An LLM could be very helpful For that process.
If you are not familiar with the process of using git or GitHub, i’m sure many of us, including myself, would be more than happy to help you.

I once heard an arrogant fuck go on super confidently for like 2 hours about how AI will never master natural speaking voices
So yeah, be blase about the biggest existential threat to your careers that has ever existed.
The real tragic part is that all of you laughing are going to be unemployable within a decade

Ooh, scaary. Wake me up when I get my unemployment certificate
