Costco culture is the haze of infinite feeds, sequels, casinos with no right turns, the feeling that there is no new art, and the death of the novel.

Stay repeat indulge enjoy

hmmmm

Map to visualize pollution and trash worldwide - interesting to see how environmental agencies + policy groups could use this.

Non human identity management will definitely be a huge issue in the future...excited to see how players in the field will tackle this. E.g. Entro/Okta

They have to do something especially with the deployment of ChatGPT search.

"Claiming, then, the use of the ordinary faculties of the mind in ordinary things, let me next endeavour to point out what appears to me to be a great deficiency in the exercise of the mental powers in every direction; three words will express this great want, deficiency of judgment. I do not wish to make any startling assertion, but I know that in physical matters multitudes are ready to draw conclusions who have little or no power of judgment in the cases; that the same is true of other departments of knowledge; and that, generally, mankind is willing to leave the faculties which relate to judgment almost entirely uneducated, and their decisions at the mercy of ignorance, prepossessions, the passions, or even accident." - Faraday lecture

Well the issue isn't about acquiring the knowledge in general. I think so far in my learning journey I've come to realize that "practical learning" is much better than learning in the hopes that something will be useful. For instance, almost everyone in the American education system at some point was forced to memorize that one mol of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP but almost noone will ever use that knowledge again.

Going through the actual real world issues of web development with an LLM on the side that you can query for any issue is infinitely more valuable than taking a course in web development imo because you actually learn how to DO the things, instead of getting a toolbox which half of the items you don't use ever and a quarter of which you have no idea how to functionally use. I strongly support learning by doing and I also think that the education system should be changed in support of that idea.

We are now in a world where the common layman can get their hands on a GPT (a GPT that is predicted to be equivalent to a pHD in intelligence soon), instead of the person scrolling hugging face and churning out their custom built models.

I think in the future it'll be pretty interesting to see how this changes regular blue collar or secretarial work. Will the next future of startups be just fresh grads looking for B2B ideas that eliminate the common person?

I strongly disagree, I was able to learn so much about web development by using AI, it streamlines the entire knowledge gathering and dissemination process. By asking for general overviews then poking into the specifics of why things work the way they do, its possible to get an extremely functional and practical knowledge of almost any application of programming. For the driven and ambitious hacker, LLMs are practically invaluable when it comes to self learning. I think you have a case where you're simply dealing with the classic self-inflicting malady of laziness.
