Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that 20%-30% of code inside the company's repositories is "written by software," meaning AI.
It shows
from my anecdotal experience, that would mean 100 % of it was generated, but 70% of it didnt compile and needed to be changed by a human.
This is going to age like milk and I can't wait
They're counting intellisense auto complete in this percentage. Which is extremely misleading. And it's also only new code.
In which way, do you think? People will write even more code with AI, or people realize it’s a bad idea and stop?
This is just M$ boasting to the universe that they cut and devalued their human talent and telling on themselves that not only from a business perspective but also from a basic cultural perspective they have brain worms and will be unable to rationalize in their tiny addled minds rehiring human talent and treating them well as a solution to the massive problems they are creating until it is far too late.
If tech workers had successfully organized and unionized they could have saved the U.S. tech industry, but since Covid U.S. tech companies have gone into overdrive hollowing themselves out for short term extractive profit and I don't believe these companies are capable of being functional at a basic level anymore except as managers of monopolies.
This AI marketing crap is catnip to useless upper management, and in a company like microsoft guess how much say the people actually doing the work get for how things go vs upper management?
Do you remember how weirdly insistent Silicon Valley was that there would be a recession after Covid and that they just hired wayyyy too many people on because everyone was remote and now fast forward and even Zoom forced their employees back to work...? If you see this from the lens of class struggle it is very obvious what is going on.
Even before AI, there was a strong narrative in Silicon Valley and Wallstreet in the U.S. that U.S. labor needed to be taught a harsh lesson and get back in line that they didn't even attempt to disguise, AI slots perfectly into that narrative and it isn't a coincidence.
I think the truth is pretty simple here and has little to do with technology, global capital realized global labor had just got a lot more leverage during Covid and it scared them, all of this delusion is a coping mechanism/blowback for that grown out of control like a cancer into ridiculous broken tech, and it is tragic it had to spell the end of a world wide competitive and vibrant tech industry in the U.S.
