They didn't prevent a damn thing though and neither will this new crop of people.
I want to live in the Culture, I'd settle for having the option to move to Anarres and leave Uras behind.
You're right. Side note, you mention the travails of capitalism in all this. I've been thinking that maybe that's what we get out of this. Maybe we leave it behind over the next couple years. I have ironically been…
I don't know how much this helps you (or anyone else), but, yeah, I understand. I was a pilot. I lived flying. I loved flying. I loved flying more than myself even, and it was such a major part of my identity that the…
Our current society will certainly not survive. Read Mark Fisher’s capitalist realism. You’re right that all most works are “cooked.”
That's how I read it too, Terry Tao, who has been a "pro-AI math guy" is going through the same emotions and confusion that us SWE folks are going through, "oh, wait... this might mean I'm not going to be special…
Here’s to hoping it gets me where I want to be in a decade lol
7 days old. This is an astroturfing campaign.
Honestly, my strategy has been "building custom tools to help me cope" having lots of terminal tabs open, tmux, and hope.
I'd say that I am the main problem. If I was a bit cleverer, or better at time management, I'd be better at finding customers? I don't think that's an AI thing, that's a "me" thing. Still, I'm making a living doing…
I don't know, I was a good pilot, I'm a mediocre programmer compared to some Leet code heros or whatever, but I'm making money? And it's working? I literally see the evidence every day... that was why I responded.
It literally reminds me of climate denialism. “Line go up! That is bad! Planet might become unsafe for human life.” “Nuh uhh! Malankovich cycles and humans are a drop in the bucket! Krakatoa! See!” “All of California is…
I have literal quantifiable output that supports the claim when I make it. I've literally been building tools for a customer of mine since January, and while it started out kind of slow, it's now paying my bills…
This is what I keep saying, and it feels like I'm taking crazy pills here! Is nobody else astounded by this?
Your account is 21 days old.
Is this being astroturfed? Like, to me this looks like academic slap-fighting from Bubeck and Levent. People working at OpenAI are saying, "hey, we don't have that particular data in our models," others are saying, "we…
I've done a lot of thinking about this since I first used ChatGPT to write some BS jinja2 templates hours after I first play with it. I said to my friend then (who scoffed at me) that "man, this is incredible, I think…
How can you possible say this sort of thing in context of what looks like a millenium prize being solved. I swear there's nobody blinder than those who won't see.
And... they found this "solution" in 88 hours or so. It's all gas no brakes now boys and girls. Hold on to your hats!
Man, I would love to hear more about the Stanford and Harvard research chicanery.
I mean, that's totally fair.
I'm honestly, pretty convinced that it's the opposite. I mean, people are spooled up? But I think the sentiment is entirely generated beyond the normal complaints? Like, yeah, people are annoyed, so like you say,…
Man... I am wondering how much of everything this is these days... This is just one instance, but the propaganda effect I think is happening strong. I think probably all of public opinion is being manipulated like…
Safer than average is totally defensible, because every year the margin of what is "average" changes. I'm just pulling numbers out of my ass here, but if say, one person is killed by an automobile every 100m miles, if…
