  • I know this isn’t going to be popular here, but I do really worry that people who take this approach will end up hamstringing their opportunities in life.

    I agree that AI is over hyped, easily misused and being forced into things it’s not necessarily very helpful for…but that’s also what it was like when the internet came around.

    I think people would be wise to familiarise themselves with the tools available if only to hedge their bets…you can’t find a software engineering job right now that doesn’t want experience with AI tools, and if it’s as successful as many think it will be - you will find most jobs will expect proficiency with AI in the same way they expect proficiency with computers.

    It might go the other way and become irrelevant of course. But right now I dont think the majority of people are informed enough to know which way it will go and are thus just responding emotionally instead.


  • Having just gone through something…I can attest to the fact that when you see no end to the pain, the mental anguish is immense. For some people that means a couple of points.

    For me when asked, I always think “could it be worse?” and having never had my balls trampled by a herd of elephants, or been hanged, drawn and quartered…I could never give a 10.



  • My first foray into doing anything remotely close to programming was substituting things in other people’s TCL scripts. I had no idea what I was doing…but i was somehow getting results.

    I curently have no idea how this person did this, and so as a bare minimum id have to learn that in order to know where to start replacing keywords. Maybe it’s completely trivial, but the fact remains I do not know and so I would have to learn something.

    So yes, even if they’re “just replacing keywords” they’re still learning something. Even if you consider it trivial or mundane.

    I hate Trump, I think he’s an evil traitor to humanity.

    However I also think he’s me in this picture. I would stand there awkward as fuck watching everyone else who knew what to do take action.

    Not sure what people expect him to do here? But maybe that’s because im as flawed as he is. In this regard that is.

    RFK pulled a blinder. He gtfo of there licketysplit…cus he knew the photos of him failing to offer effective medical aid to someone in need were about 0.06 seconds away. In-fact if you look closely you can see the RFK shaped smoke ring on the edge of the photo.
