Yep, we all thought giving young kids was "helping them learn to use computers to be ready for the future" too. Some people learned that lesson and are now pushing back on letting their kids access AI. But not everyone.

No, I think it does. The only purpose of communicating is to transmit your thoughts to one or more other people. If the thoughts are the thoughts of the AI, you are not communicating anything.

Well now you've identified the first problem to work on.

Well just look around Hacker News. Many many here expressing the same frustrations as you. The deterministic nature of programming drew many of use to it, and that going away can create a crisis of identity.

This is all bullshit. Transhumanism when put into practice will be about changing our environment to take away everything that allows humans to thrive and be happy and fulfilled. It's about the destruction of families, communities, and

These are excellent analogies. We are destroying the environments humans were designed to thrive in.

There are people who think a machine that can produce the same outputs as or better than humans are just as good or better than humans, that we can be treated just as black boxes. Those people frighten me.

You're right. It's much better to forever wallow in your loneliness and lack of friends, instead of working on how to develop better friendships and relationships.

There are real benefits of AI. There were many benefits of the original web as well. But it rapidly turned into social media and caused us more harm than good. So many people are very skeptical and guarded about the promises of AI now.

> A lot of people don't have that many friends. Start there.

by jimbokun 5mo ago
This was the optimistic view of the Internet. That we would be able to stay in touch with friends and families over vast distances. That we would be able to develop new relationships with people over shared interests not limited to geogra

There is zero utilitarian value of arbitrary words on a shirt. The shirt will keep sun off your back and absorb your sweat just as well or as poorly with or without the words. The ONLY point of the words is to express a sentiment shared by

> "debating which font to use on a t shirt." The AI wasn't picking the font, it was picking the words.

The only reason to put a funny slogan on a shirt is as a reminder of an in joke or the shared process of coming up with the slogan. It's like we no longer understand the purpose of language itself: to get thoughts out of our head and s

Just spell it GRRM but pronounce it “gram” if you have to reference it in spoken conversation. Which will be pretty rare.

How long would it take to evaluate a new coworker to say “wow she’s really bright?” Relative to your other coworkers? A few days? A few weeks? Longer? However a company releases a new AI model and within hours users are confidently procla

What’s the approach they should have used instead and how would it be better? Especially in terms of keeping fast compile times and overall performance.

Relationship oriented workers keep their network as they move from job to job. Never know who you might be able to help or be helped by in the future.

Average families are very much buying prepared food but it’s making us obese.
