I’m a computer scientist and software engineer. I’m only a few years out of college but judging by the trajectory of the current AI models, looking like my job won’t be replaced soon. I think the next year or two will solidify whether the gains in AI are tapering off or if it’s still possible for meaningful yearly improvements to AI.

Do we think Trump could put the monopoly lawsuits against google at risk?

New business idea: AI executives for your company as a service

OK, but wow, even barely pop-up windows are still infuriating

I had a linear algebra professor that taught on PowerPoint, would go so fast you couldn’t keep up with notes, and if you used your phone to take a picture of the board, she would stop the class to explain to you how the slides are her intellectual property and you couldn’t take photos.

We would suddenly have very well maintained yards. At least as far as leaves go

Chegg wasn’t much better from what I remember. Right before my Discrete Structures II Final, my professor found most of our assignments posted and answered on Chegg. Instead of getting angry, he explained problem by problem everything the “Chegg experts” got wrong.

And that doesn’t even get into planted incorrect answers. I’m pretty sure our computer science department would deliberately answer relevant chegg questions incorrectly. If you use that specific incorrect answer and work they know you cheated.

ChatGPT solves all of this and I bet it does so with about the same quality as Chegg. I’m not saying I don’t think AI dumb. I’m saying Chegg was also kinda dumb.

What would you name your pet

SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN

I’m not an airport or ubiquity user, but from what I’ve seen I would be surprised if there is anything airport can do that ubiquity can’t.

Lol they put the guy who ran Yahoo into the ground in charge of Google search.

Dry and flaky I think. I think it’s wet vs dry. Maybe sticky was the wrong word

Lol. I think it’s very dangerous to assume something this revolutionary has a 0% chance of being a net negative. I’m not saying AI can’t be good, but I’m saying it never hurts to have some skepticism. Also, remember, history doesn’t repeat, it echoes.

I honestly don’t understand why suggesting there is a >0% chance things could go wrong would make you so angry. Maybe you should ask ChatGPT to coach you on handling opinions that don’t match your own.

I’m not a doctor, but they make ear cleaners that are more of a scoop shape. Imo q tips suck because you are trying to scoop with something that isn’t scoop shaped. The scoop allows you to get the earwax without shoving it deeper into the ear.

One thing to bear in mind is there are two earwax types. I can only speak for my type, which is sticky.

At least it won’t get angry at you for asking a question

How could you possibly know that achieving AI will change the world for the better? Change, I believe, but even people running the AI companies talk about how hard alignment is. There’s a chance it has a net positive effect on the world, but I guarantee you there is also a non-zero chance it has a net negative effect. If you have some way of predicting the future, maybe you should get into investing.

Ahhhh nothing like some good enshitification

Isn’t the constitution the New New Testament.
