it feels that way... these sort of garbage articles coming out are really frustrating.

Yeah? That is an opinion I don’t share but you are free to have it.

Fully agree that’s kind of my point though. It’s a very tall order for some people. Like the OP

To his defense, that is how it’s marketed. That this new model can reason.

I am sympathetic to that however this is also a company that consistently promises the moon. Their CEO recently put out a blog post about AGI in a few “thousand days”. They clearly do have a hype issue and it’s fine to point that out.

SWE management won’t be a thing either. Hopefully you can find another job.

Then quit now. Go find another job. Why do you feel that way? Give me something substantial instead of this.

Damn honestly why is this downvoted at all. Very anecdotal but I tried out the new o1-preview available to me, and it did not produce anything noticeably better for my domain. To claim this is “reasoning” to me seems infuriating

As others pointed out he seems to be talking more about about automation which... sure that's a fine discussion to have, but what bugged me more than anything is the overselling of Waymo/FSD. I understand a lot of this is also on

It's not a god given right, but I worked really hard to get to where I am in life my visa is tied to my profession and I have a feeling it's going a way soon. Which means my visa might go away soon. I've gone from contemplate

As someone who bounces back and forth between I will be okay to anxiety that I am doomed. I have no idea how to prepare for this future...

by gwoolhurme 3y ago
I actually don’t know what I should do. How I should prepare, what the future holds for me or us. I worked really hard to get where I am and it feels like it’s going to all crumble soon, and people who are more positive about things tell me

I don't think the above comment disagrees that much with you. As far as paintings and poems go those are also pulling off of patterns that humans naturally have given off too right? An LLM is a bit more than a stochastic parrot sure, b

I can only see brutality personally. I’m not prepared. Once I lose my way of making a living I think it’s done basically. Time will tell, but it’s never been kind before, why now?

by gwoolhurme 3y ago
That's fair and I hope that is the case. That might even be fun, and I mean I actually have a lot of fun with gpt-4 now. My bigger complaint there then is that you need more money to be competitive in this industry now? Until LLMs beco

Every time I see these articles I get more and more worried about my employability to be frank... with no backup plan and way too much time poured into learning software engineering. It's not looking good gang.

I think it's even more interesting that the required amount of energy to do that high computational work isn't that high. Evolution has been working on it for a long time, and some things are really inefficient but overall it does

Yes. We need copyright... we need to rework it for digital stuff, however if you are an artist, writer, musician, programmer. You should have credit for the work you put out in some way no?

I see these posts popup every now and then. I admittedly don't use GPT4 or chatGPT that often, but I don't notice that much of a difference. Is it possible you try to give it harder and harder tasks and it is failing at them inste

I don't feel that way personally... I have Nth level anxiety, maybe even N+1 level anxiety about losing my job to AI. Maybe in the future whoever comes next can enjoy things, but this literally keeps me up at night. With talks of extin

Oh god so my background is CE/ECE stuff and you managed to trigger me. I don't want to be rude... just bluntly saying you triggered me. Doing something really small for A/D D/A with 8bit and not worrying much about resol

Yeah they do all the time. I remember in my parallel computing course where we got to use our 800 core test PC back in grad school where people were running simulations of different weather patterns and climate change. Earthquake simulation

I think that is his point. At most places I've worked at in my almost 15 years of experience, a senior title is not a title based on time but based on goal setting. Some places do that better than others for sure, but it's not jus

You misunderstood what so many people here wrote with even more snark and a bad quote. It could and probably will replace my job and I have no contingency plan in place leaving me at great risk. That’s a given it seems. What isn’t is giving

That seems to also miss the intentionality that goes into some things in the kernel as well… I understand now you mean when a feedback of LLMs are improved on. I guess fair enough there, no idea if that will work till we see it. However I t

This seems sloppy too. Is this based on anything scientifically rigorous? Where I live even startups will take on less profit for a quarter to train new graduates who have never touched an IDE on purpose. The point of training a junior isn’

What? Nobody is defending their jobs here. It’s explaining how non-trivial this is. What is the point of your comment? If you wanted pure token to money amount and are too lazy to calculate it your self use the tool in the link. That’s not

It’s that good in your experience? Enough that it is close to writing something as nice as the Linux Kernel we have now? How close is close? Reading comments like these makes me feel like I’m swallowing crazy pills. It legitimately makes me

Is this that hard of a tool? Why is it a package? Seems like something someone with a few lines of code could do. OpenAI is transparent and fairly open about pricing per token… it seems like it’s just adding bloat.

by gwoolhurme 3y ago
The entire premise of this thing is wrong too because what if you need to regenerate something? Which even with the mighty gpt4? Still happens a lot… It’s almost akin to me asking a co-worker how fast he types and calculating how much of hi
