you have to be very careful quoting those sources that are based on incorrect data. One might have three jobs and make 5 times less than it used to be. It's a rabbit hole that needs its own thorough research.
Well, pretty good amount of the training data was stolen. Not only from the repositories without a license, but also archives of books, and they even steal training from each other. Funny enough, they still blame each other for stealing. I don't mind if you think your joy is not stolen. But I mind if you insist when your opinion is the only right one and joy has definitely not been stolen. It's quite sensitive territory starts here, and I don't think anyone (incl.yourself) has a right to speak for everyone in that regard.
Personally I would forgive all of the joy being stolen by AI if they discover something fundamental and outstanding that would help all of us.
It's definitely a great language to have fun with. I enjoyed writing the book. Moreover, I wrote it for my son who was 5 years old back then, in hopes it will be useful over time, pretty much like books about bash/sh were useful for decades.
I still remember those days I was working on my book to and from work. Those memories and dreams are priceless.
I haven't updated the book intentionally to keep the "Last updated on 2022-05-26". Was it the last Ruby book written without AI?
Anyway, the joy is over. So sad.
I checked and it looks and works great!

Well, academia is the last industry that is going to change.
People pay for education regardless of how employable they're in the end. So the whole field is pretty much detached from the rest of the world. They're not interested in change, it would undermine their job security.
My employment has been terminated multiple times in the past. I _had to_ change. There is no other way to be marketable.
Academia is not that. Their business is to fill you up with obsolete tech and take your money. Don't trust them.
The next time I hear about them I am laughing, because when I could enjoy these powers? How many years I should be sitting in a waitlist...
It reminded me of when I was a student. I used to repair laptops and resell them. Going through cancer in my family these days, I understand how important it is to help people when you can. It makes you a slightly better person, at least in your own eyes.

Don't get me wrong, I produced a couple of songs, some people say they're pretty good. But honestly, it's a crap.
Loving musing doesn't mean you can play it.
I play every day, I do my solos, I play blues, I don't need chords. But it's hard.
Just don't underestimate how hard it is - to be able to play any solo by ear. I guess I just don't have any freaking talent. Pretty obvious at this point, since some people do a better progress in 3-5 years of work.
But for me it's not. I realized that for me something isn't just clicking. There was no breakthrough moment I expected all these years.
I invested a lot into playing guitar, but... meh. Honestly, I wish I spent all that time learning AI math or just math in general. Or spend my time on something that would have a better ROI.
Looking back I see how much effort it took, and how low my ROI is. I wish I gave up earlier.
