Not reading that he thinks AI is a good thing, just that MS may get out-competed on that front, and that’s a legitimate concern. That’s why all these tech giants are all-in on AI. They know damned well the bubble will pop. They’re gambling on being the last man standing.
I will say this - I suck at coding. I’ve spent years taking courses, learning basics over and over, only to be novice level at best. I can read code and KIND OF understand what it is doing, but writing it? Absolute dogshit.
LLMs have not raised my skill level in coding from a 15/100 to anything higher. It has, however, made it easier to generate code I want, can review, and use. It writes it at maybe 40/100, which is better than me. That’s the only thing it’s good at.
Im a little bit the same. But I have more desire to keep learning the hard way than to use shortcuts. Using it as a learning tool is fine I guess. I just feel sick any time I use it and its not all that helpful vs finding something from a web search. Plus, its often wrong and teaches bad habits soo yeah.
Im always wanting to take the hard road though. I feel gross taking shortcuts on any task.
i agree. microsoft still has a stupid amount of money printers spread out across multiple different parts of the tech industry. it seems unlikely that missing out on “AI” will be the death of the company.
More CEO bullshit trying to convince us AI is going to be actually useful.
