  1. Most commentators are missing that generative AI uses a random seed - sometimes the right/wrong answer can be 10/90, 50/50 or 90/10 coming out of that - but they pretend that either gets it right or wrong.

  2. " finding the right problem, collecting and cleaning data, choosing the right model, evaluating the results" This was AI 2017 - which is why the hype died out by 2020. Now all you need to do is be able to properly prompt ChatGPT. It was like the day computers when from command line only to graphical user interfaces - suddenly everybody and their uncle started using them.

  3. You have it upside down. This is not going to upend programming because it makes 17 year old better than 49 year old veterans. It is going to upend programming because every 49 year old veteran suddenly has unlimited free interns and can work at 10x his previous speed. Sure - eventually he will retire but for the next twenty years trying to get into programming is going to be like trying to get into NASA.

  4. I think you are coping. If this causes even just a 10% drop in demand for knowledge workers then expect unemployment to go up 10x and asking salary to sink like a Russian submarine. Programmers may drop to the same salary as other industries : say 40k to 60k max unless you are a manager with 20 years experience with 8 reports. Your needcode courses will go the way of VCR repair courses of the 80's.

  5. To add to that it doesn't need to actually replace the people - it just needs to change the common narrative - once everybody knows that everybody knows that specialized knowledge is not a scarce commodity then its asking price trends towards its cost price - bring the price of food and shelter.

  6. How about OpenSeasonAi - its like they are hunting knowledge workers with a Gatling Gun.

  7. You will have to be like aspiring actors in Hollywood : waiting tables to pay bills for ten years while you wait to get a break for some small role.

  8. Are you aware the word oxymoron contains the word moron? /jk

  9. Elon will soon be looking for Neuralink Guinea Pigs - why don't you offer up your skull?
