> overall job turnover rates remain extremely low

you have to be very careful quoting those sources that are based on incorrect data. One might have three jobs and make 5 times less than it used to be. It's a rabbit hole that needs its own thorough research.

Not trying to be mean, but first of all, we should be more ambitious using CSS.

> Solving real world problems isn’t “stealing joy”

Well, pretty good amount of the training data was stolen. Not only from the repositories without a license, but also archives of books, and they even steal training from each other. Funny enough, they still blame each other for stealing. I don't mind if you think your joy is not stolen. But I mind if you insist when your opinion is the only right one and joy has definitely not been stolen. It's quite sensitive territory starts here, and I don't think anyone (incl.yourself) has a right to speak for everyone in that regard.

I hope OpenAI will prove its usefulness in stealing joy from mathematicians, engineers, and biologists this time. It feels like there's a chance of warmer feedback this time from everyone out there keeping an eye on what they do.

Personally I would forgive all of the joy being stolen by AI if they discover something fundamental and outstanding that would help all of us.

I don't wanna be a jerk, but it's another proof that Tetris success was accidental. All other games are beyond suboptimal. Also interesting how one random success could define a man's future, career, happiness, money, etc.

How come? For example, "Brandon Thomas released Artcraft, a free, open-source suite of apps ... alternatives to the entire Adobe Creative Suite".

I checked and it looks and works great!

> I do think AI is going to change computer programming. Not as dramatically...

Well, academia is the last industry that is going to change.

People pay for education regardless of how employable they're in the end. So the whole field is pretty much detached from the rest of the world. They're not interested in change, it would undermine their job security.

My employment has been terminated multiple times in the past. I _had to_ change. There is no other way to be marketable.

Academia is not that. Their business is to fill you up with obsolete tech and take your money. Don't trust them.

Professors will be the last to admit their skill set is outdated. Those folks and academia in general aren't outcome-driven. They don't care if students will be ever able to find a job or not. They just want to educate like they got used to, and want their money. Or is it me being jealous? I had to change. Change a lot, learn a lot in last couple of years. But what about those folks who still use Borland compiler? I can imagine they're comfortable in academia, and can be in the next 10 or even 20 years - depends on how aggressive they're defending their old-world principles.

no it's not
