My comment to this effect was flagged and deleted. Maybe because I used the popular term for these folks, which is not an epithet as we don't take cults seriously in this society. Or maybe my comment was deleted because I refereed to o

Well said. Exactly. So much hyperbole! So much click bait. It makes me dizzy. I'm a front-end dev. I use it every day. I have CoPilot too. These things help me do my job. No question. They also help me learn better than just about any

I grew up in Santa Monica and live here now. Except for getting around the height restriction, this really is good news. Here's one big reason why. Maybe half the houses and apartments in the city were built to last 30 years. They are

That's not where the burden of proof lies, of course. We don't have to prove that. I know that's probably some kind of intended humor or levity or irony or something. But it's important, none the less, to point out that

I haven't found GPT this reliable for coding. I've been maxing my hourly usage of ChatGPT since it launched and then switching to CoPilot and I have lots of good things to say about it. But reliability is not one of them. It has a

The notion of lazy pessimism is not a pure concept, in the sense that it did not emerge in someone's mind independent from any argument or bias. Who's interest does this notion serve? In which argument would someone use this term

It's all short sighted given what we already know about the future. We know that these models will soon and continuously be more complex. We know they will only trend toward greater accuracy. Computer engineers won't be impressed

Isn't this like trouble shooting a pong console to assess the future of video gaming?

Entirely agree. I find this article a bit premature in it's confidence. And it seems to counter the one thing everyone who uses it is saying, which is that getting one best answer (which you can confirm as necessary) by software that h

This is not intellectually honest in any way. You might as well be parroting nuclear industry talking points. I could get ChatGDP to make your argument better than you.

100% not worried. There are some real short-term issues. Teachers who don't know anything about it. Students who think the teacher won't notice that their illiterate self got smart over the weekend. Legislators using it as a polit

Timex Sinclair 1000. Because it had graphical characters I was able to make animated shorts using basic. I recall one where a plane was going lower each time it crossed the screen until it hit the ground and there was a big multi-stage expl

The arguments around this are always weak and spurious. I've been at this too long to take the bait from any trolls who 'have it all figured out.' By no measure or justification is splitting the atom a good idea. There are fe

Sure, and a spot of heroin won't hurt you either. No one EVER suggested that eating some meat was harmful. Then Americans and some Brazillians decided they could live on 100% steak. Yeah, no.

I was just out of high school then. I seriously thought we'd have great VR in 20 years. Maybe 15 years later I checkout out Second Life. Kind of basic, but still seemed like the plan was on track. Over a decade later VR games seemed to

I'm not a luddite (on hacker news lol) and I can clearly see the revolutionary potential of blockchain. But, for the love of God, can we STOP the blind short-term speculation on the promise of extreme wealth. Moderate investment can su

This take is a disaster. So we get a decade of bloated frameworks to compensate for missing properties and then just when browsers are about to catch up and make all that cruft pointless we get people complaining about it. This isn't a

This video certainly isn't the most profound take on the future of the internet at that time. By this point people were predicting just about everything we have now. Mainstream coverage of that has always sounded out of touch.
