I have an old laptop that is still usable because I never updated it from win7 or better I updated it once but switched back.

This. And also a lack of respect for people commenting about it.

I used to randomly evaluate and give honest feedback on invisible projects when I had the time. Most times I was completely ignored, even when I was the only person who really cared enough to answer. Eventually, I got bored.

LLMs themselves are not a fad or overhyped. Even my mum (almost 70) is using an LLM nowadays, and she hates computers. Adapt or die and I don’t say this happily. I hate that I have to use an LLM to stay competitive, something I’m not used to in my life. I was always competitive bare-mind. Now I need to be armed with an LLM.

When I see these examples I miss Autolisp…

I have the feeling that most people haven’t fully realized it yet. All the languages or skills they half-learned will soon be worth nothing, and all the time they spent learning them will feel like a waste because it no longer leads to anything. Strange times.

Nowadays, almost anyone «armed» with an LLM can beat you if you’re going in with just your bare mind. That’s what I mean by losing my edge. And it’s not just at work, I mean in everyday life. It feels like someone stole my IQ, and I need to be equipped with an LLM all the time. It’s like we have to be cyborgs now just to survive, at least metaphorically.
