- arionhardison 2mo agoI cannot disagree here in theory; but to say that: "The first step to become a doctor is NOT to be a bad doctor, its to go to medical school"

- 7bit 2mo agoDoctors different mate. There a shit ton of people who just bought a table saw and now are good carpenters. The claim I responded to was nothing but weak elitist gatekeeping. Such people should think really hard why they are how they are. It's ob obnoxious.
- kraken_cult 2mo agoRemember "Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers". There's a reason they go together..
- stackghost 2mo ago>There's a reason they go together.. They're all self-regulating professions with licensing bodies and professional standards?
- arionhardison 2mo agoAgreed, and I in no way meant to be pedantic. I think I did a bad job of articulating point of - where do we draw the line? How many tables did the "people who just bought a table saw" sell before they were "good carpenters". With AI, there are lots of people who think they are "good carpenters". Here in the US; the head of HHS and DOD decided that flu vaccines were no longer mandatory; until the flu exploded on military bases. I am not taking a position here because I genuinely do not know what the answer to this is but I do think it is as important as it is interesting. I many ways I think AI amplifies the "The Dunning-Kruger" by an order of magnitude; I think this could be one of the defining issue of our time.
- 7bit 2mo agoFor me I say this: I don't need to draw a line for other people. If I choose to hire someone for a job, I really don't care how they got there. Be it self taught or through school or university. Drawing a line always means you take away opportunity, which isn't yours to take.
- stackghost 2mo agoWhat if you hire a firm to build you a 25-storey office tower? Do you care if the firm's structural engineer actually went to engineering school? I sure do.
