The difference is in how many industries AI is threatening. It's not just coding on the chopping block

Ultimately this needs to be solved politically Making our work more efficient, or humans redundant should be really exciting. It's not set in stone that we need to leave people middle aged with families and now completely unable to e

That's the thing too right.. the vast majority of software out there barely needs to scale or be super efficient It does need to be reliable, though. LLMs have proven very bad at that

by AstroBen 1y ago
Better than LLMs.. for now. I'm endlessly critical of the AI hype but the truth here is that no-one has any idea what's going to happen 3-10 years from now. It's a very quickly changing space with a lot of really smart people

Calling people dense isn't helping them engage with you

I'm finding quite often from reading these streams in my own chats there's a lack of strong logical consistency from one chunk to the next where it should clearly be there. That combined with the output not being consistent with

> upon interacting with LLMs, we can see and feel and hear that thought is taking place uh.. no we can't?

And you can even resell the textbook after using it :)

> would garner enough judgment to stop that person in their tracks I don't agree the judgement itself should be the factor that stops them. Having that as an overly strong measuring stick is incredibly limiting. It's an indicat

I wonder how much the 'free and open source' requirements of this curriculum hold it back. Someone serious about self learning shouldn't be hesitant to invest some money in good material

Google had too much class? They've been scraping sites content for years before all this LLM stuff - using it to answer questions directly in search results and sending no clicks No, I think Google was just slow this time

Anyone who doesn't know what lodash is wouldn't be interested in this. It's expected knowledge for the target audience

Good luck making everyone like you

Status is relative to who's doing the judging.. and everyone views things differently. I'd argue you don't have much of a choice whether you're low or high status in some people's eyes. Whether you feel it regularly

Not saying I agree with the premise of the article at all but making life decisions based on how much others will respect it is a terrible way to live
616.

At that price it would start to be worth it to set up your own hardware and run local open source models
617.
by AstroBen 1y ago
at this point that would be like putting a leash on a chair to stop it running away

extraordinary.. or suspicious that the benchmarks aren't doing their job

what if you're coding a fantasy video game?

by AstroBen 1y ago
Yeah you're right. Improving productivity for society should be a really exciting time for everyone.. instead we just leave the affected with nothing

> what would be so terrible about software developers having to find some other line of work Uh.. I'm having trouble considering this as a serious question. It's objectively going to lead to them being in a worse situation. Mos

It's mind blowing to me how many developers are happy about the developments here.. as if they're going to eventually be paid to just sit there while agents do everything. Ah, work is now so easy!

The only reason to listen to this would be to be naive about how capitalism works. Come on.. The goal here is for it to be able to do everything, taking 100% of the work 2nd best is to do the hard, big value adds so companies can hire cheap

by AstroBen 1y ago
Ah, I've never had an issue there

even better: Obsidian is only $480 over 10 years!

Does spending 8-10 hours on your feet every day fare better? I think the solution there is mixing it up

Maybe my comment was a little harsh. I do believe we should have the structure in place for people to learn from as they wish. We should show them it's available, and the benefits of it But the lazy, uncurious person that wants to shor

that's on them? Why do I have to take responsibility for someone else's growth?

I'd imagine it's really low quality data. Most or all of my conversations with an LLM are questions or telling it to do something, with varying levels of specificity I'm not sure what they'd get from training on that
