I’m interested in other people’s personal experiences, even if they’re mundane. Everyone approaches situations slightly differently and learning about that is entertaining to me.

The thing I dislike is when people parrot whatever shit they read on the internet or some academic theory without any first hand experience to back it up.

This is a long way of saying… there are people out there that will enjoy hearing what you have to say.

If you live in the city or directly adjacent this is true, but it gets republican really fast once you get a bit more into the trees.

I’m not sure this level of drop shows much of anything.

You’re right. It’s plausible that this is a big impact for them, but until someone releases actual numbers… I’m heavily suspicious. For whatever reason, these services often get a bump in subscribers when they’re constantly in the news like this.

I’ve seen some behind the scenes numbers for a different streaming service when “people are canceling in droves”. For every article I saw, I never once saw a significant number of cancellations.

So, I would take these articles with a grain of salt

That sounds like a parent issue not so much a state issue. I guess you could argue that maybe both the kids parents are working too much and are too tired to parent… which could be considered a state issue.

Anyone know why we keep building schools instead of hiring teachers? I swear every school near me has gotten replaced but the class size is 30 to 1.

Until I read your comment, I thought this was satire and not the actual tweet. What in the fuck

I think you’re onto something where a lot of this AI mess is going to have to be fixed by actual engineers. If folks blindly copied from stackoverflow without any understanding, they’re gonna have a bad time and that seems equivalent to what we’re seeing here.

I think the AI hate is overblown and I tend to treat it more like a search engine than something that actually does my work for me. With how bad Google has gotten, some of these models have been a blessing.

My hope is that the models remain useful, but the bubble of treating them like a competent engineer bursts.

The folks I know at both OpenAI and Anthropic don’t share your belief.

Also, anecdotally, I’m only seeing more and more push for LLM use at work.

I have friends who sleep on a pile of wires…
