Eh... not really sure its making america great TBH... how is that occuring? Everything they do is destroying the economy bit by bit. Yes its impressive the success they have had with satallites... but who the hell cares? Pretty much the military? not sure it really matters a ton otherwise.
Well... in fairness, military probably handles all the presidential devices... you gotta have some serious clearance to work on the president's phone.
I feel similar, i think in my case its a lot of age discrimintion combined with AI destroying everything it touches. 25 years in the trenches of tech and this is different than other cycles nothing genuinely new is really being created and companies are all just eating each other alive, its gonna just be every man for himself I don't think many large corporations will survive.... the economy will likely never improve IMO, but at some point companies will be forced to re-hire a certain amount of people who actually still understand code so they can fix the mess they've made with vibe coding.
Plenty of jobs for vibe coding out there but they see my age and skip me immediately even though I could use all the same tools lol.
Copy that, Ratrod63. Engines are warm, checklist complete. Safe travels, legend.
I mean this is ancient knowledge... the public has known or should have known if paying attention... nothing happened.
"It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who, above all else, desire power. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all."
"It is with great reluctance" ... "The power you give me, I will lay down when this crisis has abated"
But no... thats what they want you to THINK it is... reality...
I want to buy a candy bar with member card sure thing thats 345 wtf?? the bill from the store without member card is 5450 oh not bad then takes your 345 and settles with the store for 250 negotiated price doesn't tell you you could have gotten it for 250 if you went to the store yourself
So you can get MAID but not IVM. Got it.
Eh... I dunno if this is a win, but in more technical roles where you really have to be skilled, call center jobs can pay more than you'd think so it might move the needle, and if nothing else adding jobs to the point where companies cannot necessarily dictate low wages because people are desperate probably helps too.... as long as we don't turn around and undo all this stuff the moment the administration changes and its all for nothing.
i have all the .md files. none of that matters when it is actually generating code.... i'm not sure you understand what I'm saying. You can prompt all you want. The AI isn't really thinking, its just probabilistically matching against things its been trained on to generate next token after next token.
Its like a compression algorithm... artifacts creep in... if you keep just relying on combining and iterating eventually you will not even recognize the result.... and its all just garbage. If humans are not in the loop anymore it will just keep getting worse.
I don't have PhD in the subject like most of the people I work with on it, because I'm self taught, but generally they all agree. Short of some unknown tech that will suddenly be revealed that is genuine intelligence... its not what the media keeps saying it is and there will never be "singularity"
I work directly on it, its been my exact job, training and building models exactly like what you are using. They have not increased in capability at all, the only thing increasing is adoption and thereby the amount of training data for it to pattern match.
Thats all its doing. And its now to the point where it already peaked... about a year ago I'd say. Up to that point it was reading mostly good data, produced by humans with full logic and human thought. Now tons of new data being injected was created by itself... and is subtly flawed. Little hallucinations here and there, and they gradually degrade the models, and the more human produced training data disappears the worse it will get.
You'll see.
it is hardly advancing at all... totally stagnant now and gradually degrading.
He is complaining that they won't let their AI use weapons without some level of human approval... which is really something trump should be smart enough to know is a horrible idea if he is actually a genius.
I have been working on AI for years now. Its an interesting tool, but its not actually intelligent. Allowing it to run amok would be pure folly.
I dunno, I think he's being hoodwinked here. A lot of CEO and non engineers do not understand AI and how dumb it really is.
this is actually stupid... he is complaining that anthropic won't let its AI make stupid decisions without human approval... honestly, AI is not good. No matter what elon and others keep saying... its going to destroy humanity.
I personally do not regret going into software, its been lucrative for many years, and I cannot think of anything else I could have done with no degree straight out of high school with no years of apprenticeship, just straight to making money.
BUT, at this point I'm honestly thinking about a pivot. Not sure what. AI is boring, it makes crappy code, but I have to use it or else I'm not "productive"... execs don't understand that the code is shit. They'll find out in a few years.
Nursing looks pretty easy, I already know plenty of science and math and stuff, so I dont' think it would be hard to check the boxes and get certified... they pay enormous bonuses to nurses just to show up to work lol. Travel nurse even more... and then being a big strong male lol... they love those too because you can work with difficult patients. I could probably more than equal what I make in software after a few years.... the only problem is dealing with bitchy coworkers... I cannot believe how entitled and spoiled they are in that field, and the stupidity around vaccines and other shit would worry me too. I would refuse all that. But even in software I almost lost my job for refusing to vaccinate as a remote worker.
I would enjoy electrician I'm sure... but it would take a LONG time to ramp up and get paid and I'm not at all convinced that AI isn't coming for electricians too. I've worked on a few projects for VR for auto mechanics, and I'm pretty sure electricians similar.
Total BS. None of those companies perform that function. Code scanning. Not only that but what codebases are they talking about? What were the bugs? I'd like to see the list.
It is not mindless, and it takes a certain type of intellect to craft poetry. I'm sure there are a few examples of "good" rap... BUT
Rap music as a genre is like a hemorrhoid burning the ass of music. You cannot change my mind on this, and I'm quite certain Frank Zappa would have a lot to say about it if he were still around today.
I used to work for altavista. Trust me I’ve noticed.
I am looking to see what bill this corresponds to and not really seeing it. Anyone know?
I have mixed thoughts on standardized tests. They are generally bad for the overall program, but if they were used more intelligently, I think kids would see that they are actually learning things that can be useful. Forcing them on kids who obviously are not prepared is a horrible idea.
The problem is almost the entire curriculum at this point is designed for failure, so there is no saving it. I home schooled my first two after about 4th and 7th grade and despite all the naysayers telling me my kids would be "wierd" for life that just never happened, and they are doing far better than (most but not all of) their peers who stayed in public school.
Lots of probably have no jobs anyway
i remember visiting as a kid with my parents and seeing all this stuff in working order... was there for work in more recent years and horrified to see what it had become... I didn't even want to get gas at any gas stations... it didn't feel safe.
I hear its gotten a lot better.
