I can and I'd be okay with that too. The world doesn't have carriage makers anymore. Nobody is entitled to doing what they love or what they are good at. I certainly didn't as my job as a software engineer, despite being prof

As long as they don't connect WOPR, I mean, Claude to the nukes, we'll be fine.

According to doomers, the userbase will be AI too.

Dear sir, I appreciate the help but, as I mentioned, I've been around since the Assembly days... Been there, done that. I currently have a crazy efficient Edit-Compile-Run setup and a great VSCode personal config, all of which were mad

We are going from the era of manual, line-by-line mental model transcription to one where software engineers can focus on data structures, software architecture and algorithms. I love being able to quickly bring out the program that is alre

The problem is that even if the majority of labs decide to slow down, there will be one lab, somewhere, with dark money moving forward. The military wouldn't let that chance pass by.

A genuinely interesting article. I'd like to know more about how their lives changed throughout the years... ...although there is no reason to want to know that. They are regular people like the neighbor and the mailmen. Gosh, the thin

It seems that, one by one, every bastion against fearmongering click baits shall eventually fall... They might as well rename it to "This one new threat could kill your family"

It will be tough to draw the line, as the meat brains trying to prove it were also using AI. I assume that the mathematicians outside Anthropic were hoping to publish an actual human-understandable paper. That could be one way to draw line:

Wouldn't the proof be attributed to the people who operated the AI? After all, it took more than writing a "prove the navier Stokes Clay problem" prompt.

Very cool! What are the most interesting things I could do with these? I know there are a few old games but what else worth pursuing? Payroll simulator? :)

Yes, but let's not fall on the false dichotomy trap. The options aren't only "reject AI" and "completely rely on AI".

> "hands-on coding skills are atrophying to some degree" It really depends on how you define "coding", right? Throughout my career coding meant many different things. In the beginning, coding was really Assembly. Then

In this context, a "car" is a vehicle with some sort of engine, as opposed to a horse, mule, carriage or other animal-powered vehicle. Those who rejected cars when they came out would also happily reject buses, cabs and even train

Emotional rejection of AI will lead to the same outcome as emotional rejection of cars, the printing press and computers. Additionally, when it comes to the software field, it will be a sure way of selecting yourself out of the work pool.

This. I don't like people using others' work without giving proper credit. At the same time, people are jumping too quickly to defend these mathematicians without any solid evidence of their claims, while framing this as some sort

Why are people here jumping so quickly to conclusions? I have no doubt OpenAI is capable of doing this, but right now there's no credible evidence, only claims. This kind of "they stole from me through AI training!" accusatio

Nuclear Weapons is a great example because, unlike AI, it is a real and present danger. Civilization could be catastrophically diminished, if not completely wiped out, literally today.

Most retail outside a few niches (hunting, sports, videogames, etc) cater largely to female shoppers.

Our customers have spoken and we are listening. The 12V power outlet in your car now requires a $9.99/month unlimited use fee or an affordable per-watt charge you can pay with a CarBucks card found in all major retailers!

In the hippie generation, not everybody was a hippie. And most gave up on that way of life pretty quickly or were never fully immersed to begin with. I had a girlfriend who dressed like a hippie, had many "alternative" friends and

Every generation worries that the behaviors of the next will be the downfall of humanity. I wouldn't be surprised if the Greeks and Romans felt the same. I grew up reading and still do it today. But my teen kid, who's a great stud

It's a bit disappointing, I'm sorry to say. It's just not as funny as it looks. I went to the movie with the whole family and, despite loving Road Runner, it felt repetitive and stale. Not too bad, but not great either. If yo

If all AI researchers worried about the AI-pocalypse slow down, progress slows down. But if they instead pout and quit their jobs, nothing changes.

For decades we've suffered the crushing hand of Big Copyright. As the little guys, we could do nothing. I'd never expected to see commercial entities with a lot of money and political/military connections depending on the wea

You are confusing privacy with copyright.

I agree with everything you said and I wondered... Isn't this just the next level of the concentration of discovery in universities and science labs? Centuries ago, going perhaps only as far as 19th century, much of science was done as
