Suppose this should get its own thread, as the use and development of AI will only increase going forward I'll start with this The current state of LLM-driven development
How Much Power will Frontier AI Training Demand in 2030? “Epoch AI estimates the largest AI training runs will require 4-16 gigawatts by 2030, enough to power millions of homes, if current trends hold. US AI data center capacity would need to increase 10x over the next 5 years to 50 gigawatts to support this scale, roughly 5% of the nation's total power generation.”
look i've yapped at ferrari about ai bullshit a lot but if they want to make a thread about it they can go for it. no reason to nag them like this
Don't get me wrong - I have my opinions about AI but it's also something that I have no control over so better to know about it and be aware than ignore it.
https://www.zmescience.com/future/gpt-5-is-uhm-not-what-we-expected-has-ai-just-plateaued/ "At the same time, this may well be an admission that we have reached a point where LLMs cannot be improved much further to deliver on the promise of AGI. If so, it will vindicate those scientists and industry experts who have been arguing for a while that it won’t be possible to overcome the current limitations in AI without moving beyond LLM architectures."
This is more a complaint about implementation but AI related - we use Copilot at my company and it is such a clusterfuck to use. Microsoft has absolutley zero product vision regarding anything.
Copilot is great for coding in IDEs. Claude Sonnet 4 seems to be the best available on it I just wish VSCode wasn't the best implementation of it. I hate VSCode. IntelliJ doesn't love to behave all the time with Copilot.
But, for the record, I over all hate AI and wish it didn't exist. But if I have no choice but to use it in my job... I have to admit it's very helpful.
Copilot was great as a BA when I was designing a solution for a client with no other help. Gave it all my notes, recordings, etc - and it was good for that. I code in a langauge that even Claude struggles with - I get that it's an enterprise language but it's very object-oriented so it shoudn't struggle so much as to suggest C-like functions. It doesn't help that Microsoft has decided to call it all "Copilot" even though the use cases are all entirely different.
Ah that's definitely a bummer! Luckily I code in some pretty widely used languages. Mostly typescript and java/spring boot with AWS constructs
