Only because it's so expensive. You can buy a tablet cheaper than many of the larger lego kits.

The (electrified) lego train set was a solid product and didn't cost anywhere near what star wars lego does. Same for technics.

Graphs are great for data structures, not so great for visual navigation. As the nodes increase it becomes less comprehensible.

At this point models are advancing way faster than we can figure out how to use them effectively. So having a generational advantage is not nearly as important as knowing how to use that advantage.

Even cutting back on meat can have an impact. Halving quantities in cooking etc. really is hardly noticeable.

> We can build resilience to the effects

Oh yeah, would love to see the resilience that would have prevented the Nepalese disaster

>I am still learning how to use it

I find it interesting that we are still talking in terms of modifying our behaviour to accommodate the tools. Surely the point of LLMs is not to "learn how to use it" but as an extension of our own unique capabilities - the most personalised tool in all of history.

That just sounds like greed. It's not enough to be winning, I need to be winning as much if not more than everyone else.

Academia is not a waste of time just because it doesn't translate into "productivity" and wealth. Some people enjoy the pursuit of knowledge, and find great meaning in it.

Increasingly the arts are being defunded based on a similar argument, and humanity as a whole is worse off because of it.

Everything is opinion. A shared reality is just where opinions coincide.

> [..] developers that simultaneously care deeply about the craft of software development and really empathize with the customer. I do believe they might want to see a professional about a split personality disorder [..]

lol, I hope most coders are not this jaded.

Speaking of flexing..

I think it's fair to say that AI amplifies our abilities, but it needs to be in the hands of people that know what they are doing.

If developers are producing garbage to begin with, chances are they still produce garbage just at an accelerated rate.

Isn't that a bit elistist to say everything changed when more people joined? The point is not the consumers of the Internet but the producers are what changed it - primarily with advertising and walled gardens.

The real answer is you should never build your business on ANY specific model. As usual avoid lock-in and switch when you need to.

It's a commodity in the same way that making music is a commodity (i.e. using production tools to make it sound good). But music today is so much more generic and boring than it used to be.
