Hopefully you are renting your intelligence to the company, not selling it. (Unless the job gets you burned out, in which case it was selling indeed.)
I agree, especially the juxtaposition of "we have still have no idea how all of this is going to work when the dust settles" and "hype". If we don't know, then there is a chance it isn't a hype. For example, now it may…

Some people took SO too competitively. They tried to be the first to answer your question (even if by a single sentence that would be edited to a longer answer later), but when they could not, they at least tried to get…

The Anti-Intellectualism of the Hacker News Elites. AIs are useful tools in programming, whether you like it or not. Yes, there is a lot of hype. There is also a lot of ignorance. AI is not going to write an entire…

Yeah, it's easier to do the difficult and boring stuff when it's actually easy and interesting for you.
Exactly. Up to some point, you actually do well because you are smart. Then, in the middle of the game, the rules change (from your perspective), and it may catch you by surprise. It would be much better for the gifted…
I think it does provide some education for the average child. It's just when you are not average that it fails you.

That's why the social networks don't want to talk about the bots, but they are happy to have them.
The customers these days are willing to pay for programs full of bugs that require enormous amounts of resources, so the craft no longer generates profits.
But it also depends on the organization. If your managers love to micro-manage, you will be paid to do things, because someone else believes they know better than you.

Sadly it's not a joke. Most people suck at math. Those who don't suck usually have many well-paying jobs available for them. There are lots of schools, so many math teachers are needed. Put these numbers together, and…
