I too encourage Indians to travel less.
I encourage them to travel to India.
They know that a fucking GPU can tell users "saars please restarting computer kindly please" better and cheaper than a filthy jeet.
All the brain-dead repetitive jobs that got outsourced to india are going to be gone. It's all going to be done by some LLM now.
I've made more usable code out of AI tools than if I had my own personal Indian developer, and in way less time. It will definitely be the end of them.
I have "coded" in 17 years. A few months ago I made an program on my computer using ChatGPT that does exactly what I want it to do and it saves me hours and performs an actual business function for me. It is incredible in the right hands.
I've been working through computer projects that I've been putting off for close to a decade in some cases because I only have so much time in a day now thanks to locally hosted AI. You can get a shocking amount of work done with a single 3090 and Qwen 3.6 27B + Hermes Agent.
There is a big point to the right hands, and I think those who have done programming (I like that word better than coding, I don't think I ever said I was coding for the first 20 years), have a better shot at it. I've seen the output of those without who have played with it, and it's a bit crude at best.
I use it for all sorts of stuff. Business timesavers being a big one. I do a lot of work with sets of data, but not often similar enough that I can use the same methods over and over. In the past it would have been something: "I can spend 8 hours writing a script to do this one-time logic on this data, or I can spend 4 hours manually manipulating it in Excel". AI turns that 8 hours into 1 hour, and it doesn't demand perfect optimization, it just needs to work once or twice.
Although, it's gotten good enough in the last few months if you're talking "full stack" (also hate that term) web development, the bread and butter of Indians, it's approaching production quality.
I have repetitive tasks I have to do each month regarding payroll and it used to take me a full day to do. Now maybe 1-2 hours.
I already had the logic down for each report but AI helped me convert that mental logic into a reusable script. No joke, in some cases it turned the task itself for a single report from an hour to three minutes or less.
It became a matter of drag and drop of a report, select which prompt to run, and give it twenty seconds. Even that wasn't fully optimized. I suppose I could have made it so I can upload a dozen reports at a time and have it figure out which is which, and run the appropriate prompts and further sped up the process from 1-2 hours to 30 minutes. And this is each month.
I still consider ways to make it even faster. It's just diminishing returns. Every improvement will take an hour or two to revise the code, for smaller time savings. But over a year it would absolutely be a time saver to do.
I imagine in a few years it'll go from saving me hours per month to saving me two whole work weeks per year.
"In the right hands" is the key here. Plenty of lazy-ass coders will use it to make slop, which they then will spend hundreds of hours "fixing" to justify their jobs.
Anyhow, it's still in its infancy. There's a long road ahead.
They're gonna use Indian H1B to use AI tools instead of hiring American devs
I've been using a coding assistant at work. I have no idea how good the code is, but if I as a finance guy can create applications that only rely on a dev guy for final deployment, then a lot of guys will be finding themselves out of a job sooner rather than later.
If you just need a 1-off tool, yeah, AI is pretty damn good.
If you need a more complex system with a lot of interacting parts, you're going to need someone to write it (or drive the AI while it writes it).
Trick is, most non- or inexperienced-coders can't really distinguish between the two types of problems.
We had one "field operations" guy get access to the company cloud infrastructure and he was all proud of the dashboard he "wrote" via ChatGPT. All the execs were oooh-ing and aaaah-ing about it.
The next month when the cloud services bill came it turned his dashboard was effectively doing "select * from..." on the entire data warehouse every time anyone clicked anything. Fucking whoops.
And the only reason he had that access is that he's a childhood friend of one of the owners. So when the dev team started catching hell for the cost they just forwarded the email chains that basically said "I know so-and-so, if you don't give me this access you'll be looking for a job".
I imagine everything is in the set up
If your original prompt was that you're making a complicated system that will consist of many different components that need to work together, and exchange input and output seamlessly, it can then consider than when naming variables or data fields or limited data input etc.
Then build out each individual component from there.
Integrating your system with another system is a whole other thing.
AI is making me lazy
Normally I do extensive research and now I fight urge to just copy paste AI summaries
My MU and AMD stock are up big
Why tell them to stop buying gold?
Because they're devaluing their country's currency as it is being shown as having no confidence by its own people (they're using the gold standard of gold, instead of rupees). If everyone flees from their own country's currency, it causes a lot of problems. Also cuts into taxes and increases black market activities naturally.
So the govt people can buy it themselves? Who knows, jeets are retarded.
Imagine listening to a government
Retarded probability matrices replacing retarded organics. It's progress.
What was your second choice for a title? "Make this go viral"?
Interesting development given that many called the AI revolution as actually meaning "another Indian" given Google, Microsoft, and other tech investment in Indian campuses
