I can imagine AI academics are in a tough spot. However what about the existential angst the rest of us - who don't even do anything AI related on a day to day basis - are feeling? I think big changes are coming and it's not gonna be pretty.
- lewhoo 3y agoPapers will be written on how different reactions to AI emerged in all this noise. Unfortunately, I'm all in (unwillingly) for the doomers perspective. I really can't help it but I'd love to be proven wrong. Altman keeps saying intelligence will be cheap and all I hear is I'm heading to (one day, some day) become the horse and carriage of cognitive processes.
- wing-_-nuts 3y agoMy big question is what is your standard java / c# dev supposed to do to keep up with the massive changes that are coming? I was seriously considering doing a GT OMCS, but I don't know what sort of return on investment that would have for me. I was also considering building a gaming pc to also be able to play around with ai / ml, only, I'm not even sure what one would be able to run locally anymore even with a 4090? Overall? I feel you. It makes me worried for the new grads today. I don't really know if this old dog is up for new tricks.
