I am scared of bad change, probably you are too.

And also, a great number of apartments buildings have a parking where the chargers can be installed.

As grown adults we live in a society that has been and keeps being designed to extract every cent from us as consumers. Many people will behave like your idyllic thoughts suggest but in reality most of us are just a product of constant market manipulation.

Except your uncle Brett is not being marketed as a genius that will solve all problems of humankind.

If we’ve learnt something is that LLM are very good at making stuff up with a high degree of confidence. This is not what you want from an Internet search, so I while I think they can be useful for a number of tasks, I really hope they won’t replace search engines before this problem is solved or we’ll end up in an ocean of misinformation that will create a myriad of issues.

Yes but I doubt they’ll have much value since you are not the only one that can type a text prompt.

As long as they can’t imagine them we will be safe.

They are selling them because people are WFH.

How do we know you are not an AI someone else asked to to ask GPT to do those things and then post it on the social media? Exactly, self initiative.

There will probably be other breakthroughs in AI in the next 10 years but there’s also a chance that we will face roadblocks and find ourselves in a plateau, similar to what’s happened with other technologies in the past. The point at which we we will reach such plateau is almost impossible to tell but my guess is that there will always be a need for developers to perform the least structured tasks. The reason is that AI as we know it today is good at finding patterns in existing data and generating new data as an interpolation of those patterns, hence if a problem has no identifiable pattern or is different enough from the training dataset, it will be hard for an AI to generate a result.

No. Programming is not just about sitting in front of a computer and write some code according to some specifications. Most of the time goes into figuring out the right technology/library for a given task or how to modify existing code to achieve a new feature without breaking old stuff, performance work, sorting security issues, bugs, etc. All tasks without a clear specification you can just throw into a prompt. Anyone that gives you a straight yes is just not familiar with the job and misses the fact the developer work involves not only using general knowledge in programming well defined tasks which is what AI is very good at, and for which will and already is a great tool for more simple tasks we do although you still need an experienced developer to evaluate and test the code they produce since they are quite prone to errors for the inexperienced one.

And Twitter!

Came here to say this. Definitely not Musk’s idea.

A lot of non AR glasses look weirder than that.

By own experience I must agree. They are great at producing very simple code or boilerplate stuff you may want to use as a starting point, but an inexperienced developer might miss a lot of the wrong stuff and introduce a myriad of issues. As a way of example it took me 15 iterations to get ChatGTP to implement a relatively simple batch at which point I’d would have rather written it myself from scratch.

Google has also done this before, eventually they had to agree on doing what the institutions request them to do as it’s logic.
