Comment on Bill Gates: People saying AI will create more jobs don’t understand what’s coming

I’ve not yet fucked with Claude. I don’t want to pay for it, and I really don’t like the surveillance aspect of these centralized systems. Mostly I’m using Gemini, whatever DDG had in their search results, and local models I’ve been fiddling with (like Qwen3.8 right now).

All more or less garbage once I get into the details of anything on the edge of my expertise.

I’ve been using OpenCode with whateverthefuck free models they have listed on there and they all seem to do fine with agentic tasks like building me scripts or executables to make my work tasks easier.

I used Gemini at the start with “Frontier Knowledge” and it seemed to do worse than the ones listed on OpenCode, but maybe that’s because i could only do like three prompts a week since I refuse to pay into an AI.

end of the day, its just LLMs writing code for me, but I cannot see how this would be useful for a large scale code base, but also #NotAProgrammer.

Are you using Gemini in flash extended thinking? (Not flash light) . I haven’t had many hallucinations other than cases where the training data it needs just doesn’t exist (cases where I can’t find the answers by googling either)
