Logically, you would be right. My practical experience is I waste a lot less time trying to google multiple explanations something because one by itself isn't helping me figure it out, writing bugged PoC test code and thinking something is broken, sorting through a bunch of things that haven't been relevant for 3 versions, etc.

Of course the AI is trained on the same material we can an all find and read, but it does it orders of magnitude more quickly. The trade off is that it's not always right, but neither am I and neither are most sources on the internet right in all circumstances. But it's so fast and easy that I can iterate and evolve designs and understanding much more quickly than I could on my own.

Explain.

Grok has tje Pentagon contract. Does OpenAI also have one?

Microsoft's AI, which is OpenAI, is approved for Defense Contracts. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/16/openai-wins-200-million-us-defense-contract.html It even has an ominous project name which was posted to a public site which I cannot seem to recall at the moment.

In a cave with pen and paper is nearly what I learned with. I learned with the run time, msdn, notepad and the cmd line. And yes you do end up in many situations where you simply don't have or can't use a full on ide everytime. Sounds like you've never really left your comfort zones and stuck your neck out in some tech you don't understand quite yet. Or worked in areas under strict software controls.

It's telling that you're focused on personal assumptions instead of addressing the argument

And produced with a shit ton of copyright violations, etc. Just about everything is immoral about it.

What’s more high stakes than a complicated cupcake order?

An order for a weed smoking cow.

yes in the wired article one of them says they would like to find out where it got stuck taking an hour with an agent replay feature

its easier to rule world that is in ruins than thriving one. They know they have to live on same planet as us yet still they dont seem to care if its going to shit. While so many rich people are dumb as bricks and dont deserve their wealth at all, there are also many who actually know what they are doing yet still they dont want to seriously work towards stopping the climate change, even though it wouldnt even reduce their wealth by that much in comparison.

So only reasoning i can think of they want to have more complete control over everything, but they cant have it because world is too complicated and healthy. When civilizations start to fall, the rich will still have everything and with that they can start enforcing themselves on everyone.

I dont have anything to base this on, its just my thought on the matter. It just feels like something billionaire would do, they demonstrate every day that they will not be content with anything and will not care about other people's suffering to get it.

Comment resonates with my experience.

Software project at work recently:

We are going to launch a new offering to improve experience for customers.

Ok, how?

We are going to switch it to cloud model and charge annually instead of perpetual.

Ok, that's for us, what about customer?

We are going to analyze their accounts and present them with suggestions on other of our products and addons they haven't bought yet.

Where is the customer improvement?

We are going to discontinue supporting third party products and focus exclusively on customers that buy only from us.

Ok, but we have support for third party products we don't even compete with?

We are going to exclude those too, to focus on the market that is important.

Ok, but at least you're going to provide equivalent capability as the product you are replacing?

We are going to streamline the experience by offering only the core capabilities and discontinue extraneous features.

Ok, but you think this will expand revenue, so you will afford to explain the service and support team and free up more time for developers to get requirements?

We are in fact going to lay off and offshore all of it, including most of the customer contacts that barely kept the preceding product alive....

Now after a while of this mess they also had like 96% availability with almost all of it unplanned outages, but that's not too bad because they have only like 6 or 7 customers anyways. There's emails running around asking why the product has failed, and the answer seems to be we need to kill more of our successful products to try to push customers into this mess.

Hot cupcake making action like you've never seen it before!

What was the argument. Use an IDE which was the proposed answer for most of my objections. Which i did address.

Actually, nope! Claiming that you personally didn't learn with an IDE and that there are make-believe scenarios where one is not available is not actually addressing the argument.

There really aren't any situations that make any sense at all where an IDE is not available. I've worked in literally the most strict and locked down environments in the world, and there is always approved software and tools to use... because duh! Of course there is, silly, work needs to get done. Unless you're talking about a coding 101 class or something academic and basic. Anyway, that's totally irrelevant regardless, because its PURE fantasy to have access to something like Claude and not have access to an IDE. So your argument is entirely flawed and invalid.
