@BasilTheGreat You can’t help people with these absurd claims. It’s a bit like claiming a bridleways are car’ist.

@therealdanvega @khmarbaise Sat in awe of the complete trash GPT 5.4 formulated this morning. Threw it away and wrote it properly. Time saved - negative.

This is why I guffaw when my kids complain about their tablet being "laggy".
Yesterday's Britain, A Better Britain.@YesterdaysBrit1
To think that 4 decades ago we used to load our computer games with this.

@YesterdaysBrit1 Indeed, no adverts, pay to win, near constant updates yada yada! It’s gone and I miss it!

@Classicbritcom Always loved Albert Ladysmith but recall Wilfred in Holiday on the Buses too.

Larry Ellison just told every software engineer on Earth their job description is dead. Not evolving.
Dead.
Ellison: “The code that Oracle is writing, Oracle isn’t writing. Our AI models are writing.”
This is not a startup demo. This is one of the largest infrastructure monopolies on the planet telling you it already replaced the people who built it.
For fifty years, building software meant translating human intent into machine instructions. Line by line. Bug by bug. Sprint by sprint.
That entire layer is gone.
Ellison: “We don’t write the procedure. We declare our intent.”
That sentence just made the entire engineering labor market flinch. The procedure was the job. The procedure was the paycheck. The procedure was what made a developer valuable.
And now the machine does it without being asked twice.
Ellison: “We just tell the model what we want the program to do, and then the AI comes up with a step-by-step process to actually do it.”
You are no longer paid to build. You are paid to think.
And most organizations have no idea how to evaluate that.
The companies still hiring armies of developers to grind through codebases are paying salaries the machine already made worthless. Not in years. In seconds.
When a company worth hundreds of billions hands the keyboard to the machine and tells you the output is better, the debate is not winding down.
The debate is over.
The enterprise that wins this decade does not write the best code. It removes the human from the process entirely and runs on intent alone.
The programmers who survive are the ones who realize the craft is no longer typing.
It is architecture. It is judgment. It is knowing what to build and why.
Everything else now belongs to the machine.
And the machine does not negotiate severance.

@GeoffNorcott Agreed, I was expecting the same old faces. I honestly suspected a left wing love in but it was even handed. I shall watch next week which in itself is an endorsement.

@WilliamShatner @TheSimonEvans Never trust anyone who lives their life telling you how to live yours!

Where do I apply for the job of putting a cone in front of the takeoff board? #WorldIndoorChampionships

@freedombill3 Aside from dubious suppositions, your argument is short sighted. Without conspicuous consumption the firms driving compounding don’t exist.

Walking past a David Lloyd car park on a Saturday afternoon looks like an absolute parade of pure wealth.
You see endless rows of brand new Porsche 911s and Range Rovers sitting outside the premium gym and spa.
It looks like the ultimate definition of success, but the reality behind the dashboard is completely different.
Let us look at the actual numbers keeping that illusion alive.
To put a brand new Porsche 911 por Range Rover on your driveway, you are easily handing over £1,200 - £1,500 every single month on a PCP finance deal.
Then you are paying another two hundred quid a month just for the premium gym membership so you have somewhere flash to park it.
That is nearly £1,700 pounds leaving the current account every single month, to rent an aesthetic.
Over a single year, that is a full £20,000 Stocks and Shares ISA allowance completely wiped out.
They are literally going broke just to look rich to people they do not even know.
If the monthly salary stops, the car gets repossessed and the membership gets cancelled almost instantly.
Real wealth is not driving a rented supercar to a premium treadmill.
Real wealth is driving a standard car that you own outright, while your cash buys slices of the S&P 500 $VUSA or Vanguard Global $VWRL in the background.
Are you funding a car dealership's profit margin?
Or are you building freedom?
Please don't rent the illusion.
