Aha, yes the resulting OEM freakout would do it.

That's what I would expect too - old and young.

How is that Plan strategy not "outsourcing your thinking" because that's exactly what it sounds like. AI does the heavy lifting and you are the editor.

Is a VP of engineering “outsourcing their thinking” by having an org that can plan and write software?

Yes.

Interesting take. Does that mean SWE's are outsourcing their thinking by relying on management to run the company, designers to do UX, support folks to handle customers?

Or is thinking about source code line by line the only valid form of thinking in the world?

I mean yes? That's like, the whole idea behind having a team. The art guy doesn't want to think about code, the coder doesn't want to think about finances, the accountant doesn't want to worry about customer support. It would be kind of a structural failure if you weren't outsourcing at least some of your thinking.

I’m with you, perhaps I just misread some kind of condescension into the “outsourcing your thinking” comment.

We all have limited context windows, the world’s always worked that way, just seemed odd to (mis)read someone saying there’s something wrong with focusing on when you add the greatest value and trusting others to do the same.

It is condescending when antis say AI users do it. It isn’t when a director or team leader does it.

But it’s the same process, which should tell you what’s really going on here. It’s about status, not functionality, and you don’t gain status without controlling other humans.

Delegation is generally all about outsourcing, so hard agree

Yes, nothing says Marxism like shilling for the most valuable corporation in history. That's definitely the reason why I'm talking about cool new features in Tahoe.

true, they want it for themselves

If you're not in country X which spies on you, but you live in country Y, is it preferable to have country X or Y to spy on you, given one is further away and cannot really impact your daily life, compared to the other country?

The manager role is inevitable once scale reaches certain thresholds.

But it is the same most of the time for most humans. Should I take this close parking spot or let the old lady behind me take it? Consider it in the spirit not the letter of the law.

no it doesn't "turn out that". They have a long history of hiding their nuke tech and lying while also issuing death threats to israel. Trust but verify doesn't work with this country.

> Trust but verify doesn't work with this country

I mean, the JCPOA verify seemed pretty well thought out.

speaking of blood on their hands, they are fighting multiple lawsuits related to suicide advice chats.
