Revealing more would spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it yet.

Big rebase fan here. I find myself using squash the most.

Fail fast and iterate.

Wait no, not like that.

What are some examples of a nerfed response? I just asked Gpt4 to help me write a python program to analyze the sentiment and determine if biases are present in mathematical research papers in a PDF format.

Sure, it needs some love and there were some abstractions. For instance it assumed we had a labeled dataset for the text and the associated sentiment, but beyond that it worked fine.

I stand corrected

ChatGPTs strength isn't in solving new problems, but in helping you understand things that are already solved. There's a lot more developers out there using these tools to create react apps and python scripts then there are solving race conditions with USB 2.0.

> How many presidents have held onto power in the US history?

I see the point you're driving at but the democratic institution of the US has explicit guard rails against this. We force presidents to step down because we _know_ that voluntary relinquishing of power is unlikely.

I do see money as a proxy for power. If you make enough of it you can influence public opinion, enrich or destroy education, buy twitter, etc.

Refreshing to see a nuanced opinion piece on the recent developments in AI.

1) Those in power tend to not give up said power. There are exceptions of course. Take for example the contracting of the British empire. However, as the outcomes of significant societal changes become less clear, those in power and comfort are less likely to forfeit those advantages.

2) In my own little bubble, no one I know is particularly fulfilled by creating crud API's and gluing together microservices. I'd bet that with guaranteed financial stability finding meaning in life would become easier, not harder.

Interesting data. Looks like postings are still up nearly 100% since the bottom of the covid curve.

I'd be interested in seeing this compared to other non-tech job postings. I'd expect the trends wouldn't match entirely but that software development jobs are still in higher demand.

Interesting idea, but feels incomplete. It more or less just asks you repeatedly what job you'd like, or suggests you to try exploring the job you're already in.

I wonder if the world is trending in this direction. If anything, the moat between the two is growing larger, highlighting the differences. Everyone in your bubble may seem to be growing and learning, but you're also the type who spends their off time browsing highly technical message boards.
