"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

What's the point of this LinkedIn post?
Did he want to accomplish something like this???
The LLMs are good on python and react because they're trained on billions of files stolen from GitHub, not because they're actually intelligent
They did not stole that much for PCB designs, so the copy machines will not work as well
And by the way, you send to production something without any kind of supervision?????
Pretty sure he’s just trying to prove that his job Is still not able to be taken over by LLMs.
I think that's what we all are doing here.
Looks like it's just a fun experiment 🤷♂️
So fun, but there was no need to let some company to actually assemble and ship the e-waste from another continent. Anyone with basic electric knowledge would have known that it wouldn't have worked.
He's a product manager, his actions are like this? They pay him to ship code directly from Claude? Why aren't firing him and just put Claude on the server?
I would think this is a personal hobby project just to test what it's capable of, either to see what's possible or for giggles. But to be sure you'll have to ask the actual person.
tbh its kinda funny, shipping could be a bit costly but negligible if you're making other boards too and ordered this vibeshit together with it
The copy machines will learn eventually with massive PCB SaaS like Altium and AutoCAD Eagle who'll probably be working out, if they haven't already, how to reword their EULAs so they can use PCB designs from industrial companies to train LLMs and then sell that back to their customers as a way of cutting down on design staff.
I have heard whispers in the wind that software like Autocad will transition to web based apllications, they say "oh you wont need a big beefy PC with good graphics card and lots of ram, just a simple workstation" and all i hear is "do all your designs on our servers and in return for saving money on hardware we will retain the software at all times, train AI on your IP and onsell your designs/concepts/engineering as we see fit."
