I do have programming skills. Most of the job postings I've seen were shitty JavaScript/Dotnet app development or Windows-centric IT slopjobs that pay as much as McDonald's and is probably getting taken over by AI at this point anyways. For lower-level programming like C++/Rust which is what I'm more interested in, I've barely found anything outside of MIC companies and the one that wasn't was Israeli-based. I do spend most of my free time working on Nix-based projects and tinkering with Linux, so I wonder what's related to that. I'm also considering a PhD, but I just learned that even the research at my university closest to my interests is heavily tied to military/MIC funding. If it's actually true that the only organizations that give a shit about quality code are the ones that commit genocides, that would really fucking suck.

I just finished my CS Bachelors and overall most of it felt like a massive fucking waste of time, especially since I suck at learning from lectures and also the content was like 15 years out of date. For the few classes that actually seemed worthwhile and interesting, I'm trying to figure out who the fuck is hiring for these skills that's not military-adjacent. I did end up earning some Masters credits through a fast track program, but I don't think it's worth continuing at this point.

That kindof sucks if you're trying to move to a different city that actually has the jobs you're looking for

The Democratic senator candidate from my state a couple years ago didn't even hide it and went mask-off anti-trans. Was pro-ICE as well

Nobody was suggesting voting for Trump. But .world morons would think so because they apparently don't know what a vote is.

Probably some island that hasn't been discovered yet or my own pirate ship, that has the best privacy protections because then I'm the government

Ask a Christian how an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent, and perfect God who supposedly was the source of everything can create something "flawed" and punish it for eternity, and they'll have a stroke trying to explain that free will is somehow a thing then make a bunch of nonsensical analogies

My science teacher showed us pictures of the dragons that people hunted and about the hidden coves where dinosaurs still exist and there's native tribes that know about them but nobody talks about it because it would kill their evolution narrative

After that, LLMs are good at summarizing things

It depends. For programming, I've tried using them to write commit messages and they suck at it. And for healthcare they're not summarizing blog posts, they're dealing with potential life or death scenarios. Doctors have expert knowledge to catch details that LLMs won't pick up on, and LLMs won't notice nonverbal cues either which constitutes a large portion of communication. Doctors also have a thought process to log that LLMs don't have either. Even if the doctor reviews the notes afterward, the quality will probably be worse than before.

Imagine charging $300 then outsourcing your note taking to a machine that barely knows shit and has nothing to lose
