Industry consists of humans, humans can change this collectively. It's still peer pressure. If you don't resist, don't complain. You won't be able to sell your craft, correct. That means keep your day job. If your day jo

Then train your agent on the Bible. Honestly, all the agent did was duplicate human behaviour and that better than the human. The agent was trained on human data and did what any other human would have done. To believe that agents will inhe

Howabout: just turn off AI. I scanned the article, never made it to the bottom, didn’t find the point the author was trying to make. Howabout just learning to code better as a human without using AI. Just like learning a craft. Just refuse

In the context of the times it was the aim of Europe to integrate Russia into the EU zone. Who gave Russia all that money to convert to capitalism after the fall of the wall? The US. Who wanted Russia to become a capitalistic nation? The we

Indeed, plus miles behind in tech and seemingly doing everything to maintain that. Although the government will invest in “startups” which meant that one defence (probably drones) related startup gets 500M euros - eggs and baskets comes to

Much like OpenAI yesterday: “our safety container for model testing failed completely… we have to ban open weight models so that we can corner the market” - win-win for everyone, especially openAI

That sounds like a case of SEO - Suggestion Engine Optimisation. Is that a thing yet? Sounds like the next AI Unicorn.

Trust the invisible hand of the market to sort this out. Involving society in anything the market does is only communism in another guise. But in all honesty, first try to convince the investors that a pause would be good. They only care ab

I'm kind of surprised that this is even moving the needle. Really, what do you expect from a "profession" that has been trying to lower the entry level to a point where anyone with access to an AI is a programmer? I remember
