This is all very anecdotal (and thus not quantifiable) - but I find the need for others and I to check their phones far more distracting and frequent than the need for getting up and stretching your legs and/or getting…
Not that I 100% believe that the Vanaras were cultural memories of Neanderthals, but it's pretty hard to prove and disprove this. Maybe they were. Maybe a whole bunch of stories we tell throughout the world are cultural…
At this point I just get frustrated reading AI prose. I tried for the past few months to just shut my mouth and force myself to read AI prose, since r/singularity wasted no breath telling people how they're Luddites for…
In that case, please just use the AI yourself and don't hire anyone ever.
There do seem to be papers written by him on Research Gate, with others. But yeah, the faculty search on Princeton returned nothing (https://static-tables-prod.princeton.edu/faculty-and-profess...)
Yet 100% my experience. Not really a sad and miserable take. It will do people a whole lot of good to know the kinds of people that thrive in this ecosystem.
I don't think that's the same as having the compulsion to be online and having very little interest in long time-span activities.
Yep, I would say social media, especially in us Gen Zs has made us more cynical and worried about the state of the world, apart from the obvious attention span problems. We live in India, so for example, the rise of…
I and pretty much everyone I know has repeatedly mentioned how difficult of a time they're having reading books, code (software eng. friends), or even watching the first half of a movie without feeling the need to open…
You cannot joke about AI. It's blasphemy towards our corporate overlords!
Fair enough. Panicking won't achieve anything. I appreciate your response.
Fair enough, I am kinda scared about everything these days. Which one of his books should I read (first)?
> Even incontrovertible proof of wrong doing does not change their mindset You could argue that about pretty much every politician and their supporters in India. The right wing keeps winning because the left refuses to…
Understood. Then how does one brace for the upcoming slaughter? People knew that getting into software would become the hot new thing - almost guaranteeing a source of income. Hence the "push" for everyone to get into…
While I agree that new skills must be learnt to survive, what exactly are these new skills in the AI-age? I see this line everywhere - whenever someone's mourning their loss of a career, there's responses telling the…
Fair enough. Though there must be some sort of universality in what people find attractive in men. Some lingering evolutionary behaviour (not necessarily suits), no?
Well-tailored suits also make you look sharp af. The day I got the most compliments for my clothes was when I was wearing a suit for my college farewell and smoking (no, it's not a cool habit, I'm just an addict) at a…
Unrelated but, "clanker" is a great word
I imagine one needs a car when living in the US.
I mean, of course we were shown a globe "once". My father had one at home too, though tucked away under a mountain of files and other things in his gigantic cabinet. But 99% of the time, a kid would see the world via…
At least from my own experience, the map used the most throughout school was the Mercator projection. When I first discovered that Greenland and Canada were not really that big during one of my many wikipedia tours as a…
I don't think this is a US only thing. Even in India, where I'm from, everyone I've spoken to or know tends to like this change.
Not everyone from everywhere has had food delivery apps all their lifetimes, even if they're GenZ
Sarcastic quips are basically the most human response to any new situation. Let us have fun
Fellow IITian here OP. Would do anything to get those years back. Happy to know you found a better place to be :)
