I didn’t realize until now that the “me, an intellectual:” meme format was parodying something that some people did earnestly.

That's more or less exactly what someone who wants to openly get away with it would tell you.

That's true, and it's also one of those factoids that everybody already knows but certain people can't help themselves from bringing up every time it's even tenuously relevant.

Being a programmer in the era of AI means not being a programmer

Meaningful as a mega transfer of tax revenue from citizens to corporations, which for all we know was the whole point.

Presumably taxpayers will pay for it one way or the other.

Eventually the misinformed mob gets together and elects an RFK jr type.

Smart people are handsome, charming, and always make the right decisions even on things they don’t know about. And if they ever are deceived, well I guess they were no true smart person.

But I keep reading here on HN about the brave future where everyone carries around a little box that you put coins in whenever you need to know how to compose a song, solve a problem, write some code, etc, and it will give you your answer y

Why would that make sense? People are always coming up with diets that look something like “stop eating bananas because they have been secretly making you sick and only eat blueberries which cleanse all your toxins” (and whatever variants t

One time I called in sick to work, they even sent me flowers. Later they found out I was lying and wasn't really sick and they got angry about it. Humans are strange.

Can you share a playlist or something so we can see?

Context can very easily enrich or ruin nearly anything, but especially creative expression. I'm surprised this is seen as strange.

Whenever people say they like AI music or fiction, I've only ever been able to determine they are something like the equivalent of people with no taste buds describing how delicious the gruel is.

Sure, we can lower the bar to "non-shitty" per GP if that's the only way I can get a link?

In that sense you're in luck, neither is this post as simple as "I really don't like AI, boo".

Presumably artists will be sent to the glue factory and then we'll get to live eternally on regurgitated facsimilies of the corpus of creative work that was produced pre-AI.

What would be an example of LLM generated fiction I've likely already read? I'd be very surprised that it's so pervasive that you can make blanket statements like this.

by j4yav 1mo ago
I'm not sure if you notice, but there are also many more posts every day here about how great AI is.

by j4yav 1mo ago
It should be easy then to link to some AI generated music that is actually good?

What makes a story good except for something the author was trying to convey?

My prediction would be that the overlap between people who carry around a computer to answer any questions that come for them in real time and the people who put in effort to learn to think must be approaching zero. You become smart by doin

A street wise moron used as a sort of meat puppet to carry a computer around that answers questions for him? What does that even mean practically? Won’t the graduates who learned how to think also have access, but then also be able to think

I would personally much rather drink the “human who doesn’t speak fluently” poison.

If you can’t communicate effectively in the language how are you evaluating that it doesn’t make you sound like a bot?

by j4yav 11mo ago
Because it doesn’t just fix your grammar, it makes you sound suspiciously like spam.

I’ve been noticing a trend of companies avoiding hiring non-technical PMs for as long as possible, in order to keep small technical startups (particularly dev tools, it seems) focused on building and not hiring too many people too early who
