Yeah. In (pro) code the hype is definitely real. Very impressive and a genuine revolution.

I saw some Antrophic multi-agent setups with the latest Claude model in two use cases last week (coding software, evaluating supplier offers) and it was impressive and scary. The agents can really coordinate well now and understood the context very well.

My company is starting to count AI agents in our FTE counts for software development now. If you book a team of programmers the AI support is factored in so that you can either get more output than before or pay less. Biggest factor is in legacy code migration.

I am not talking about replacing anybody with AI, simply the fact that the cost of building specific tools (that may or may not have AI functionality in them) is coming way down. Even in a sector with zero AI implementation will be impacted by the fact that the non-AI systems they rely on can be built much cheaper, much faster and much more customised for their specific business.

Maybe for a bit until people start retiring and you don't have anyone to replace them because haven't trained any junior employees because they've all been replaced by AI.

A very real impact of AI will be the extreme drop in the cost of code. Developers are becoming incredibly productive and AI eliminates many of the drawbacks that previously haunted building inhouse over buying software as a service (documentation was hard to maintain, taking over someones code was problematic, best practices were only valid as long as everybody followed them etc.).

So while SaaS companies are currently stuffing AI into their products and jacking up prices, it will be interesting to see the longer term effects here. One could easily imagine a market where companies increasingly revert to bespoke and custom solutions, undermining the traditional SaaS model, but potentially increasing productivity as systems support their specific needs better. So there is probably a boost from AI that's not about AI itself, but from the effects of code dropping massively in price.

Quote from: crazy canuck on March 13, 2026, 12:45:43 PMA bit of column A and a bit from column B.  Listen to how one of them describes what the Holocaust was.  And how they were not able to define what DEI was, although they were removing funding for being DEI related.

I saw a clip from that one DOGE guy's deposition. He looks like a psycho, but I think his ignorance is intentional.

Tbh, the gamer in me thinks, "Why can't we get this kind of interface for games like Command: Modern Operations?" But I guess the devs would be accused of "dumbing it down" and that "it looks like a mobile game."

From Palantir's Youtube:


QuoteCameron Stanley, Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer of the Department of War, shares how the DoW is driving enterprise-wide adoption of data, analytics, and AI to generate decision advantage—and what it takes to move cutting-edge technology from the lab to the warfighter at speed.

The use of "enterprise-wide" for the Department of Defense WAAAGH seems weird but fitting with this administration. :P (Though I guess corporate influence on defense purchasing has always been strong :P )
