well it is not hard considering the orange guy

Downvoters mind to explain?

could you elaborate please?

enjoy learning the job for 3 years before gettin replaced by the cheap floods

That is motivational content, but not economics. Most startups will be noise, even more so than before. The value of being a founder ceases when everyone is a founder, when it becomes universal. You will need customers. Nobody wants to buy re-invented-the-wheel-74.0. It lacks character, it lacks soul. Without it, your product will be nothing but noise in a noisy world.

How is that relevant wrt the argument?

So nothing changed

After that debacle on X, I will not try anything that comes from anthropic for sure. Be careful!

Why would coding be that unwanted task if one decided to work as a programmer? People's unwanted tasks are cleaning the house, doing taxes etc.

At some point the bubble will pop

Official documentations are not always complete. It depends on the diligence of who wrote them and how good they are at writing. Customers and users will always send mails or open tickets to ask this and that about the docs afterwards. Can't rely on just learning or retrieving from the docs. Clarifications by some dev or someone who found a solution/workaround will always be required.

how come MS Teams is still trash when everyone is being so much more productive? Shouldn't MS - sitting at the source - be able to create software wonders like all the weekend warriors using AI?

Hilarious (or even shocking) is the sentiment that people are actually so overhyped by these tools.

> Most people don't do anything worth privacy protecting

One of the worst takes I've ever read. There is something called metadata. Even if you don't do anything that is worth protecting explicitely, the data about your 'worthless data' enables perpetrators to see the patterns of your daily life. You can reconstruct so much by just gathering metadata over a certain time span, knowing when someone usually interacts with devices, social media etc.

I don't want everybody to be able to derive when I'm sleeping, going to work or when I'm going on vacation. Hopefully, it is obvious to you that even a simple thief could use such information (if leaked) to know when it is the best time to go on a heist in your aparment.

There is a nice 3c presentation by David Kriesel called SpiegelMining available on YouTube. It is in German, but the autogenerated subtitles are good enough to understand everything. He downloaded Spiegel Online newspaper articles over a certain period of time and was able to derive lots of information about the authors based on the article's metadata (publishing timestamps, author initials etc.)

I'm still in awe when I see certain paintings and buildings made by human hand, because it involves thousands of hours to become good at something in general. There is an emotional component to it that makes me like it more than computer generated stuff - that is just mid at best. Never been amazed by some ai art. There is some indirect grind component to be admired in it when you consider research and development, but that does not touch me like a masterpiece of some legendary artist.

There is no comparison to himself in the previous comment. Also, did you measure their IQ to put them on such a pedestal? There are lots of examples for people being great in their niche they invested thousands of hours in, while being total failures in other areas. You could see that with Mr. Sutskever over the weekend. He must be excellent in ML as he dedicated his life to researching this field of knowledge, but he lacks practice in critical thinking in management contexts.

Not a given that it is here to stay and grow after the company showed itself in such a chaotic state. Also, they need a profitable product - it is not like they are selling Iphones and such..

Is it? How so?

Kinda funny when you think about Ilya's tweet "if you value intelligence above all other human qualities, you’re gonna have a bad time". Now people having a bad time, asking how someone that intelligent can create such a blunder. Emotional beings after all..

*competent

2 * 0 = 0.

You can observe this trend w/ AIfluencers already: They create short guides on how to leverage AI tools like chatGPT to generate income/reach and all of their typical bullet points equal generation of low-quality noise:

Examples: let chatGPT.. 1. write blog posts 2. generate scripts for youtube videos 3. create short stories so you can sell them as a book

Painful to see. I would like to think nobody in his right mind is willing to consume these delightful pieces of work. Dead internet theory on the next level.
