Build one myself and make a ton of money. Or wait for the next guy/company to do it.

This goes with calculator to do basic math, contacts apps to store phone numbers instead of remembering them, and watches to tell time imo.

Sure we could use our brain power with old techniques to do these, but why? I don't want to do any of these. I'd rather use that brain power for other problems.

Same with maps.

I don't want to have to store a bunch of location or routing data in my head.

I think what you're pointing towards is going from having problems to solve to not having any problems to solve.

That's definitely a danger, but right now is still early in the AI era so obviously it'll feel like we went from solving problems to letting the new tool solve them for us.

There are still many problems to solve.

Who even makes the decision to drop having a standard bar to verify students?

And what possible benefit would that have?

I'd challenge you to point out specifics that are industry wide, not just one company that happens to abuse its employees.

Came here to say exactly this.

If people don't like building tech that's one thing.

But the problems most of this thread are discussing are just people and organizational problems.

If you want to live and make money you're probably going to have to put up with some level of bullshit.

Find the company with the least of it and enjoy the rest.

Bandwagon-ers who parrot media/youtube/socialmedia.

Waiting to be told who to hate next.

"For some reason" is that people do not watch it.

Once you get a taste of "bad" it dominates.

Is it even a problem that so called goal posts are moved?

That's life.

Life changes and us along with it.

"Who Moved My Cheese?"

These "secrets" that are being hidden are basically on the same level as gary tan's list of super uber powerful prompts.

None of it is actually that crazy that everyone else could think up.

What I've noticed in my own experience here is that even when I do share my own prompts/skills few people use them (or alternatively they were so basic that everyone already had their own version).

e.g. If someone doesn't care about xyz before AI, they probably won't after AI even if I serve them it on a silver platter.

Ok yes, pushing positivity into the universe is better than pushing nothing or negativity.

But there are people who will flatter purely for gain. I think being aware of which is which is very useful.

Also who is giving the compliment will factor into how I receive it.

Well, that's fine until your teammate does all of those things by default and gaps show up between them and the rest of the team.

Since you're already in this optimizing mindset -- do as much as you can to improve/optimize your mitochondria and lots of these issues get better.

But aren't they pricing based on how much it costs to show the film?

Which in turn is how much the studios and distributors pay to make/market the film?

Which is in turn driven by costs...

Which are basically large bets on if a piece of art will have mass appeal.

This mindset is fine (it's mine essentially too).

But it absolutely has to be combined with verification/testing at the same speed as code production.
