alt Hacker News> The real disruption from AI is likely that it does not get mentally fatigue
It's worse than mental fatigue. A friend had GLM 5.2 suddenly become dumb for hours. It started forgetting instructions, randomly inserted some bits in simplified chinese... Apparently throttled due to demand. there was tons of tokens left. (btw when your llm runs out of tokens is another example that's worse than fatigue)
A tired programmer usually knows he's tired (and can take a break) and fucks up in more expected ways

6 months ago everybody talked about how AI was not able to plan their work. They could only do minor changes.
The introspective property of knowing when you are "tired" and acting appropriately will likely be trivially observed in 6 months.
