New ask Hacker News story: How to find AI-conservative companies to work for?

How to find AI-conservative companies to work for? 6 by tossitawayplz | 1 comments on Hacker News. Is it even possible? I don't completely hate AI, and leverage it to make things better but I don't like to use it for EVERYTHING. At my current job we have outsourced our thinking, our design, our documentation, our sanity to it and I just can't do it anymore. I'm considering getting out of tech entirely at this point I've been in it for almost two decades and I've reached my tipping point dealing with the way we're using it but fear basically every company hiring software engineers is doing the same thing (or worse.) I'm ready to just be poorer at this point.

Ask HN: Am I missing something with AI 4 by vasko | 7 comments on Hacker News. I constantly hear developers around me talk about how AI has completely changed their life and how they don't even program anymore, they just prompt. But any time I've used it, the output has always been off. And when the output is off I have to go and read through everything, learn how it works and fix it, which at that point I might as well write it myself. I just don't understand what other people are seeing, I've mainly used Claude and ChatGPT, I got a free trial for premium but it's just underwhelming, their only use so far for me has been as a search engine, but they're a search engine that's wrong 20% of the time so even that use is questionable.

Ask HN: Are people generally interested using LLMs for learning purposes? 2 by iknownthing | 0 comments on Hacker News. When LLMs first hit the scene I had assumed one of the big use cases would be to use the LLM's vast knowledge to teach people about subjects they are interested in. I thought there would be some hot app that let you suggest a subject (e.g. CUDA programming) and the app would interactively teach you and test your knowledge along the way. How come this use case never took off?
