Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

Zuckerberg Announces Layoffs After Saying Coding Jobs Will Be Replaced by AI
https://futurism.com/the-byte/zuckerberg-layoffs-coding-jobs-ai?fbclid=IwY2xjawHzvz5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYGWrWv7PW3AIG3Lr2P7LAkOqlk-7ccw9zLCKtHLLryv5ep3KxvPtf2ZzQ_aem_A-bRH9Q3cn6mjIpKV7JfzQ
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced sweeping layoffs of what he refers to as “low-performers” at his empire.
According to a company-wide memo obtained by Bloomberg, the Facebook owner is cutting around five percent of its staff. And interestingly, the directive is already in tension with what Zuckerberg told podcaster Joe Rogan last week about how the company was looking to replace “midlevel engineers” with AI. Instead — in a likely concession to AI just not quite being up to snuff yet — he says employees “who aren’t meeting expectations” will be replaced in order to “bring new people in” (emphasis on the “people,” for any AI zealots.)

Artificial Intelligence
How to Eliminate “Shadow AI” in Software Development
With a security-first culture fully in play, developers will view the protected deployment of AI as a marketable skill, and respond accordingly.
https://www.securityweek.com/how-to-eliminate-shadow-ai-in-software-development/
In a recent column, I wrote about the nearly ubiquitous state of artificial intelligence (AI) in software development, with a GitHub survey showing 92 percent of U.S.-based developers using AI coding tools both in and outside of work. Seeing a subsequent surge in their productivity, many are taking part in what’s called “shadow AI” by leveraging the technology without the knowledge or approval of their organization’s IT department and/or chief information security officer (CISO).
This should come as no surprise, as motivated employees will inevitably seek out technologies that maximize their value potential while reducing repetitive tasks that get in the way of more challenging, creative pursuits. After all, this is what AI is doing for not only developers but professionals across the board. The unapproved usage of these tools isn’t exactly new either, as we’ve seen similar scenarios play out with shadow IT, and shadow software as a service (SaaS).

“An AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer.”
Zuckerberg Announces Plans to Automate Facebook Coding Jobs With AI
https://futurism.com/the-byte/zuckerberg-automate-coding-ai
Meta-formerly-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he intends to start automating coding jobs with AI — this year
Zuckerberg announced these ambitions, which if realized would send shockwaves throughout Silicon Valley, on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, as spotted by Business Insider.
“Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code,” Zuckerberg said in the interview.
A midlevel engineer at Meta, per BI, earns a salary somewhere in the mid-six figures.
Though Zuckerberg doesn’t explicitly say he’ll replace his human grunts outright, putting two and two together as he explains how the AI technology will pan out — or looking at literally any company that has bragged about onboarding AI models — makes the implications for people’s jobs pretty clear.
“In the beginning it’ll be really expensive to run, and you can get it to be more efficient,” the Meta CEO said. “And over time it’ll get to the point where a lot of the code in our apps and including the AI that we generate is actually going to be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers.”
This, Zuckerberg argues, will actually “augment” workers.
“My view on this is like the future people are just going to be so much more creative and they’re going to be freed up to do kind of crazy things.”
Pressed about whether AI will eliminate jobs, Zuckerberg doesn’t offer a direct answer; he just goes into a long spiel about industrialization and how we’re not all farmers anymore.
And as Zuckerberg said, Meta is far from the only one that’s pushing for AI automation in the industry. In December, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said that the software giant, which is among the most valuable companies in the world, would no longer be hiring software engineers in 2025. Benioff credited this hiring freeze to productivity gains made with AI technology, including its own Agentforce AI model.
Elsewhere, the CEO of the fintech company Klarna boasted that it had laid off 22 percent of its workforce as a result of embracing AI. And in the tech world at large, thousands of jobs have already been sacrificed amidst the AI arms race to develop the latest models.

Do new AI reasoning models require new approaches to prompting?
https://venturebeat.com/ai/do-new-ai-reasoning-models-require-new-approaches-to-prompting/
Tomi Engdahl says:
There’s DeepSeek’s R1, Google Gemini 2 Flash Thinking, and just today, LlamaV-o1, all of which seek to offer similar built-in “reasoning” to OpenAI’s new o1 and upcoming o3 model families. These models engage in “chain-of-thought” (CoT) prompting — or “self-prompting” — forcing them to reflect on their analysis midstream, double back, check over their own work and ultimately arrive at a better answer than just shooting it out of their embeddings as fast as possible, as other large language models (LLMs) do.
Yet the high cost of o1 and o1-mini ($15.00/1M input tokens vs. $1.25/1M input tokens for GPT-4o on OpenAI’s API) has caused some to balk at the supposed performance gains. Is it really worth paying 12X as much as the typical, state-of-the-art LLM?

The journey towards a knowledge graph for generative AI
https://www.infoworld.com/article/3801640/the-journey-towards-a-knowledge-graph-for-generative-ai.html
While retrieval-augmented generation is effective for simpler queries, advanced reasoning questions require deeper connections between information that exist across documents. They require a knowledge graph.
How does the journey to a knowledge graph start with unstructured data—such as text, images, and other media? The evolution of web search engines offers an instructive example, showing how knowledge can be extracted from unstructured sources and refined over time into a structured, interconnected graph. As we will show in this post, this process underpins the journey from retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems to more sophisticated approaches like GraphRAG and Knowledge-GraphRAG.

Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: ‘We don’t care about professional coders anymore’
https://www.semafor.com/article/01/15/2025/replit-ceo-on-ai-breakthroughs-we-dont-care-about-professional-coders-anymore
Replit has had a turbulent year, but CEO Amjad Masad’s sonorous voice was almost zen-like as he spoke to me on Monday in an airy conference room, sipping coconut water with a view of the sun setting over Foster City, California.
The AI coding company had moved its headquarters out of San Francisco in April, went through layoffs in May, and has seen its headcount cut in half, to about 65 people.
Yet it has grown its revenue five-fold over the past six months, Masad said, thanks to a breakthrough in artificial-intelligence capabilities that enabled a new product called “Agent,” a tool that can write a working software application with nothing but a natural language prompt.

Tossa ajankulukseni pistin chatGPT:n hommiin ja käskin tehdä koodia. Ja halleluja! Se osaa!!
Välillä osaa, välillä osaa vähemmän:-).
Se on ihan hyvä apuri, mutta ei se kyllä vielä koodata osaa. Joskus menee joku pitempikin pätkä oikein, mut usein muutaman rivinkin kanssa tulee monenlaista bugia.
Paranee kyllä koko ajan.
Omat kokeilut alan ammattilaisen tuella menivät puihin. Chattari tarjosi samoja toimimattomia ratkaisuja, kuin netistä muutenkin löytyi. Ratkaisu löytyi omin avuin.
Kyllähän se osaa
