Descripción

If coding can be automated, where do software engineers provide value in the workforce? Does software engineering require writing code? In this episode, Abi and Ariel talk about the future of software engineering and the “expectation vs. reality” of the demand to integrate AI. We also have a tangent about the value of Fruit Love Island. Transitions are hard. Though the day to day of the software engineer will surely change, we share hopes that the innate scarcity of human effort will provide value in the face of automation.  References: What is “Slop” (and why it gives me hope) https://youtu.be/dT5IJExTUR4?si=LCxpvmH1D0n47pws [https://youtu.be/dT5IJExTUR4?si=LCxpvmH1D0n47pws]

Anthropic's attempt at ethical AI and how Claude is built

If humanity can’t agree on a code of ethics, can we really expect AI to behave responsibly? Abi and Ariel discuss Anthropic’s mission of safe AI development and the negative impacts caused by harmful AI. We also examine how Anthropic is using Constitutional AI, Reinforcement Learning From AI Feedback (RLAIF), and scale supervision to reduce harmfulness while maintaining helpfulness in its generative AI models.  We strongly believe that as AI use becomes more prominent, it is our responsibility as engineers to learn about how the models generating our code are developed so that we can better understand risks when creating software.

Ada Lovelace: The First Computer Programmer

Ada Lovelace is well known as the first computer programmer, but is that really true? Learn about Ada from Abi and Ariel in this episode on Ada's life and controversy. Stick around to the end to hear about how Abi got to actually see Ada's letters!
