I would consider the approach in this posting to be rude. I feel like they are shoving a bunch of information at me without context. Part of the purpose of the salutation is to allow the call receiver to orient…
Thanks for putting the effort in on this. The author pointed out that no LLMs were used in the production of the blog post. To be honest the first thing I did was put the blog post into an LLM and asked it to simplify.…
Really? Did you read the article? I did. It read as quirky human to me.
I'm still paying OpenAI $20/month for a product that has gotten massively more valuable. That's the problem. They aren't getting any more money from me for a product which is much more valuable.
I was a hiring manager. H1B candidates got exactly the same wage as native born. There were no differences.
It's clear you are not a hiring manager. There aren't thousands of highly qualified engineers looking for work. I can't tell if this a troll post or not.
I want them, which violates the Universal qualifier on your statement. Discrete math for the win.
That’s not an LLM issue, it is a human curation issue. The LLM only does what the human behind the wheel tells it to do.
The article starts by talking about how interactive learning with Khanmingo failed, and then goes into depth about how watching videos isn’t enough. That’s disappointing. Khanmingo should be superior to passively…
You can't say that. Also that isn't happening.
This whole "nobody wants" narrative is getting tiresome. It is provably false, and is just a rhetorical tool.
That's not how nuclear triggers work. There a multiple layers of safe guards. I would be more sympathetic to your position if you were to solve for the multiple layers of social engineering needed to fire a nuke. That…
You think that the researchers in these labs are superhumans? There is zero indication that anyone is making progress in those areas.
It's not quibbling details. The extinction argument fails to show how that might happen. AI technology has no agency. It can't control the physical world. Humanoid robots aren't going to be on the march to exterminate…
Because there aren't that many clusters and the ones that exist are tightly controlled. there are only a handful of data centers able to run the largest models and they're being used at full capacity people would notice…
This paper is either written in bad faith or by people who are ill-informed. The repeated references to Stockfish and Go playing programs seems like a rhetorical tool rather than a genuine argument. The paper claims…
I don't see it being "crystal clear" that skill decline is real. People are doing work they wouldn't have been able to do before. They are getting a more broad exposure to technologies than they have before.
No one knows the ramifications. They won't be known for many years. That's the way software has always worked. No one knew the ramifications of the internet.
I could not agree more. Thank you for stating this. Software Engineering is about building things. You don't do it for status, you do it for passion. There are a lot of unhappy individuals who got into CS because of the…
Most popular fiction is formula entertainment like Tom Clancy novels. Tom Clancy novels are their own industry now. I have zero doubt that AI tools can generate countless variations of good guy US special OPs going…
What is the purpose of copyleft when there are tools that can generate equivalent code? Copyleft keeps software free by using copyright to protect the effort of human creators. If tools can create the code is it is in…
Code was always expensive. Entire industries of design tools cropped up simply to avoid writing the wrong code since it is so expensive. There are entire journals dedicated to this. Organizations are fixated on making…
How can there be tons of evidence for a 3 year old technology? Everyone seems to think that all writers using AI are one shotting their content. A writer can carefully edit and revise their content using AI tools just…
The heuristics you are looking for are "editorial" and "curation". That's why there are things like newspapers and magazines. The world has always been awash in more low effort content than can be consumed. We rely on…
That's not what the author is saying at all. You are presuming that AI is capable of generating original thoughts. The author's point is that original thought is what matters. If a skilled writer with decades of…
