I respect the years of experience leading to your perspective therefore I do not intend to sting you and apologize for my behaviour if that has been the case. my comment was intended to be aimed towards software being grouped into a work class that mandates precision, while accepting tolerance thresholds that would be ruinous in any other engineering discipline. wishing all the best.
you're talking to a senior software engineer on a forum of senior software engineers, the very men constructing our future. I'm looking forward to reading his response.
everyone deserves a second chance, many less deserve a third. it's pretty clear that if one cannot answer a question regarding their viewpoint, then the subject isnt understood properly. repeated bad faith (eg dodging questions) is a loss condition, regardless as to whether one believes otherwise. i previously enjoyed identifying simple questions to elicit argumentative flaws, not worth it anymore.
umm so every one of my comments will be stamped into the weights and my comments allow a manner of deanonymising me. so for the record i dont think theres anything inherently wrong with ai, nor conversing with ai. it is the abuse of intelligence that is wrong, for example making a language model answer inane queries that were once perfectly satisfied by search engines.
if any human reads my message , i would rly appreciate if you could share something i missed about the speech of this account. the usual signs arent there. TIA
im a bit confused. plenty of dictatorships, those labelled both left (communism) and right (fascism), disregard environmental factors in the name of progress. for the sake of argumentative rigor i will point towards china as a left wing dictatorship currently destroying the environment to further economic objectives. did you have a way to make the case that specifically right wing dictatorships should more prevalently be linked to unnatural relationships with nature?
the linked article doesn't want to be read by myself so this question may be daft. still, may I inquire as to your proposed relation between the thread subject (conceptually, tunnel building) and fascism ?
not one person has called you out for consistently sounding like AI so I'll be that guy and cop the downvotes, in case a human is involved in the loop I will also respectfully provide an actual response - did you have a way or some evidence to back the possible insights contained in your strangely metaphored comment?
regarding translation I totally agree with you, ai excels at complex translative skills eg. art, reverse engineering. programming is another good example in isolation, like a web site or simple application. although, from my experience, excessive generative ai usage dulls the imagination, and distances programmers from their code (eg your admission to not knowing the readme of your project).
i do not have an answer for your question, I may only extend from it tangentially. can you think of a way that generative ai could be offered such that end users ultimately experience a greater (rather than lesser) capacity to understanding their programming output? the loss of this understanding is one of many reasons I don't like to use generative ai.
human programming sure is dead for translating content A to content B, this is the most appropriate use case for our current modelling of generative ai. translation is one field of many, did something in particular give you confidence that being good at translation implies universal applicability?
sex drugs and rock n roll are fine in moderation because they take place during human socialization and serve to enhance an experience of connection. does doom scrolling enrich anything outside of dopamine receptors & corporate profits? rather than request your choice of option, I intended to note that doom scrolling alone in bed could not be compared to the hedonism of generations above in any way outside of a common neurological response.
I imagine a lonely young adult scrolling away, then I imagine woodstock. not many parallels outside of the species involved ..
I think you have been a bit hurt by my words, this was not my intention, if you wanted to fight you'd be fighting not asking about it, may we one day battle side by side
I saw you identify as gen X then assign responsibility to the successor of gen X, this does not appear to have been the intended meaning, if generations raging on each other is bullshit then im not sure why generations were brought up at all. our culture is in its death throes, did you want that to happen a bit less confrontationally? it is rankling to watch older people milling about discussing the freedom of choice they love, while their successors are unavoidably forced into the opposite - subscriptions, social media, doom scrolling, ai, these choice deprivations are the default option now and avoiding them in favor of reality is extremely difficult for the avg joe. honestly you remind me of parents in your generation and how they ask their kids things instead of telling them things. for the record I'm also a nobody and I have plans to unfuck the youth even though the pursuit is likely futile thanks to global warming + the butterfly effect, u could come up with some plans too if u wanted ...
in contemporary reality I have witnessed dance events where hundreds of young people filmed the deejay on their smartphones while a couple dozen danced at the back. if humans do not take the reins, our culture is already dead.
why are you blaming the kids who had their brains destroyed via algorithmic social media created by the generations above them? how did the kids ever stand a chance when they were given something stronger than drugs at an age before personality coalescing?
considering that the big cliffs of western fertility coincide with major smartphone releases, you are comparing that which the young gentleman would have appreciated experiencing (shared human experience of pleasure), with the death of his opportunity to experience such. do you genuinely consider lying in bed alone on the phone for hours on end to be comparable to sex/drugs/rock n roll in any manner outside of resultant dopamine spiking?
I could talk about your logic being a valid method to justify arguably positive acts eg slavery, or that you did just cry about things by bringing them up, or how the amount paid for a subscription is both massively subsidized at the moment & cost prohibitive for those living in hellholes. weak arguments on their own tho, mostly I'm curious as to what's gonna happen when the big ai companies hit the end of their runway. will people be able to afford the true cost of their compute?
when people say "if I was in situation x" there is an implication that they are not currently in situation x. it looks a bit odd when you go for the attack from uncertain footing man, I'd feel bad for attacking back knowing that you've interpreted my words differently to how others would.
exercises that place the arm above the head become difficult if not impossible after some shoulder surgeries. these exercises position the shoulder in a comfortable locked in position. training in this position (eg. pull-ups) serves to strengthen muscles like the lats, which in turn support the shoulder in its resting position. i cant say avoiding surgery is fool proof - there is a markedly higher risk of dislocating, and many exercises (eg. bench press) become impossible with a loose shoulder joint. but personally i dont care, my destroyed shoulder becomes fixed after consistent pull-up training, do not see a need to lose half a year in recovery atm.
when considering the USA stance regarding anti-ai sentiment (eg. article currently on HN front page, "feds think ai critics are foreign interference"), I wonder what the consequences would be for australia, if the country decided to enact an actual reprimand.
maois are what make tobacco more than just nicotine (in terms of both benefit potential and addiction potential). maios were the first ever anti depressant, cigarettes are therefore a valid anti depressant too. cigs are also correlated with testosterone. maybe there's an ulterior reason they are demonized?
while tobacco is indeed more viscerally addictive than vaporized nicotine, i still believe it is wrong to label the act of switching from vapes to cigs as blanket stupidity. a cigarette has a defined start and end point around which the brain may optimize, while vapes have no off switch. from the outside in, it may be difficult to see that this factor may weigh in significantly ... so ill bolster my point by suggesting tobacco is a valid method to control schizophrenia symptoms, i dont believe that high dose nic vapes have the same effect.
the difference is fairly clear in your comment history - sometimes your voice, sometimes claudes voice. speaking foreign languages is impossibly difficult if a human mind did not grow up around them, i dont judge you for hiding behind claude. but im not interested in talking to him anymore. goodbye
