Totally agreed. I don't trust smart people who can't explain their ideas. It's not that I don't think they're right, it's that I don't think it's a good business idea to operate on faith. But also, be

I find #2 is fairly easy for me to avoid by focusing on code quality and readability. But working in front-end, I'm always afraid of doing #1. The paradigms shift so quickly I never feel sure I'm using the right patterns. Time h

> Such things as air quality management are good use cases. You can't use your phone to do that. Why not? I am strictly against IoT in my household so I may be way off base, but why can't your phone control your air purifier?

All of these use cases seem like AI will only do a worse job of solving the problem.

I don't disagree with any of that. The GP said they didn't understand why people would be afraid of AI art. The reason is that many people pay rent by producing art, and that will no longer be possible for many of them in an age o

> are you able to name many great artists in history who died rich That's not relevant. There are tons of working artists today and there have been for decades. But if a person can't pay rent by selling their art, things sudd

> 1) That is a horribly denigrative view of human creativity, one that simply does not reflect reality. I disagree with this. Part of the long trajectory of imagining and creating AI is figuring out what makes a human do what it does. Ma

I tried getting into Hot Ones ~5 years ago because many friends enjoyed it. I simply couldn't stay engaged - even with celebrities I was excited to see, I found it weirdly boring. Maybe I'm just not the type to enjoy interviews! B

I disagree that there's a fallacy at play here. The GP (GGP) should support their bold claim that "times have changed" and "people/teams aren't the same as they used to be." If anything, that's an ext

I'm half your age and don't really find ChatGPT useful for my programming work. Maybe I'm not creative enough, but it often seems like more work to get ChatGPT to understand my problem than it is to solve the problem.
