As impressive as this might seem let's think about fundamentals.

Statistical models will output a compressed mishmash of what they were trained on.

No matter how hard they try to cover that inherent basic reality, it is still there.

Not to mention the upkeep of training on new "creative" material on a regular basis and the never ending bugs due to non-determinism. Aside from contrived cases for looking up and synthesizing information (Search Engine 2.0).

The Tech Industry is over investing in this area exposing an inherent bias towards output rather than solving actual problems for humanity.

"And what I think makes ChromeOS really powerful is Crostini, a full Linux VM that you can run inside ChromeOS"....

This is akin to the person that uses their left hand to touch their right ear....

Both MacOS and Windows offer that without all constraints and privacy negligent services from Google/Alphabet.

This looks interesting but 4.2k stars for a js app that shows readily available LLMs is fishy.....

I mean it's nothing ground breaking. I guess the AI bubble is real :)

That's not weird, that is just CNN.

It's ironic that they posted this story as they're a huge contributor to the polarization of American citizens.

For profit "news" media is just glorified gossiping channels.

Hey! Same here! Moved teams in same company and I feel so alone it's crazy! Many engineers are introverted and/or already have relationships they've built before covid hit. No matter how hard a i try to connect through the chat window, in just don't get the same reciprocation as I get from face to face.

I've been coming to office to run into more ppl but alas, no one comes. So just as you, it's very lonely here and it's hard to get attached to work when you haven't met anyone face to face.

It's a sad state of affairs indeed. It is is annoying that tax companies will be taxed so aggressively.

There's a middle ground in a lot of things but it seems like Europe is becoming very antagonistic with aggressively taxing US tech companies.

Why would mutations ever stop? Also evolution is used ad nauseum it's annoying. Is cancer mutation evolution? Are hereditary sicknesses evolution?

Mutation seems more objective and neutral term here.

Yes, me too. Although I'd hypothesize you would like to explore tangential parts of the lessons rather than heads down follow without mental digestion.

It baffles me how much the alcohol industry keeps pushing fake studies about the "benefits" of alcohol. As if ANY of those benefits can be obtained without the poison of alcohol.

Oh well, people drinking.... social darwinism. Drink away I guess

Softbank is getting murdered after the office-space-renting-hype-company (I'm blanking on the name because my brain is filtering BS startups with BS useless features).

I guess, after irrational lauding of this untouchable investment group, it's time for calibration??

Maybe try not to blindly follow people and think rationally in the first place?!

These studies are annoying and just smell like envy by the most average parasites in this industry. How about you focus on adding value and setting the right price for yourself.

Some are grateful with 100k and others 500k. You can negotiate your price because you're an adult.

If you can't, then grow up.

Anecdotal experience and of many others, go against this "experts".

As all things, it's a spectrum but the press has to be sensationalist about it.

If this isn't fluff, then I don't know what is. The usual run of the mill, new byte sized words and overcomplicating simple concepts that most of us inherently do.

Of course, the author is a consultant in corporate "well being". Nothing bad initially but when it's fluff.... nay!

One need only look at the STDs impacting each profession to clearly see models != sex slaves (uh I mean "workers" uh i mean human trafficking)

As long as you're productive and meeting deadlines, I couldn't care less about the "hours" you're in the office.

Also, the market well balance itself. If someone is more productive they'll be rewarded more.

I just don't want the "equal outcome" crowd to start enforcing equal pay when most of them are clocking in minimum hours and others are over-delivering.

This is for merit based companies, which personally I can't fathom non-merit based ones.
