I am all for change yet when the change makes your tech skills feel irrelevant as it opens the field to anyone who can type I do not see a rosy employment picture. I was use to being in a field where my knowledge/skills/experienc

curious how long have you been in the field? Ive been wondering if it's my age or my LinkedIn algorithm changed for the worse in February once I updated it. I hadnt updated it in many years previously.

Indeed it feels so uninspiring, no talent/skill needed and my experience of 17 years feels a bit pointless. In the past few months I have used Codex to build apps, so it's not like Im not using AI it just makes my/the career

I like smart glasses as they are useful for quickly capturing life's moments (friends/family/experiences) and learning more about the world around you. When i did some solo traveling in Berlin i learned a lot about things I

Exactly and Cloudflare (there should be others out there too - open source options) has proposed that AI bots need to pay for access to our websites. If they and or others could pull off blocking AI access until it pays creators then AI is

Snapchat is app where you send live photos directly from your phone's camera. When you snap someone its a non-filtered picture you just took from your phone's camera (its how you look at that present moment) that you send to your

Use apps like Snapchat to ensure they are who they say they are (if they refuse to verify via snap or insta's snap feature don't bother with them). If they are not local delete them immediately if they ever ask for money or give a

It is a step up from the old Siri as it can answer any question, yet again you have to say Hey Siri for each follow up question. This is especially true when driving where i use voice tech the most.

Well Apple is building a slew of AI voice devices, Open AI is too and purportedly so is Space X creating an AI focused phone. We'll see if consumers embrace it, but ive been using chatGPT's voice conversation tech since Sept 2023

I can get a lot done in the car talking to chatGPT where i use voice conversation the most. I do not use it for an AI friend but as a voice assistant who can get things done for me quicker then picking up my phone in the car, when it'

Maybe Apple will buy Open AI at a rock bottom price after this lawsuit. I've used chatGPT voice conversation tech since Sept 2023 and was expecting the new Siri to match the user experience. The new Siri is far far away from matching c

Ah thanks, yet tho not easily done. I think letting users easily generate and share AI-created snazzy map routes on social media would be a great marketing play for GPT. I think a lot of people need to be taught how to use it.

I know ive been wanting chatGPT to create snazzy map routes to share with friends for our road trips and or vacations the past many years but it fails miserably! Which would show distance / drive time between each spot, interesting si

Well i guess there are two sides of table / arguement. Im on the side of believing the hype of the AI overlords who promote UBI not cause I don't want to work because I personally experience and see it slowly playing out now.

Ummmm in time it's inevitable as in 2026 you do not need any skill to be a computer programmer. AI has replaced that once valuable skill and will continue it's way through ever white collar job til the robots (5 to 10 years) star

What about them taking content for their AI summaries? Have they created a system that gets content owners and creators paid in this regard yet?
