You accept that what made this career rewarding (besides money) is gone and pick up a hobby that gets you into flow state. That's why I've picked up drawing again :)

That was my first thought. Ironic they don't want to read LLM responses in their searches but they expect us to read their LLM article about it.

I can see it now: "You're absolutely right — I shouldn't have instructed the baristas to add antifreeze to the coffee to make it sweeter." Joking aside, what does this prove? That …

People can spend their time as they choose, but if you feel the need to post about it online don't be surprised if someone offers their opinion. If they don't want feedback then do…

The problem is AI is being pushed and used as the equivalent of using a chess engine to tell you the best move during a match. Maybe there's a way AI can be used to make developers…

Yeah, for real. Imagine being so addicted to the AI slot machine that you can't be without it for 10 hours.

If you feel the need to babysit your employees you probably need new employees. Why are your seniors not unblocking your juniors? And if your seniors are complacent maybe they just…

Neither the government nor an ad agency needs to know where I am, no matter how "rough" the data is. It's none of their business.

This isn't about doing "serious" work, it's about making ChatGPT the first thing you interact with in the day (and hopefully something you'll keep coming back to)

Wow, no responses? I guess it depends what they will use it for. IPads are probably the easiest, could save some money with an older or refurbished model. Or get a cheap Kindle Fir…

I don't get the point of book stores when there's libraries. My local library let's me reserve books online, and if they don't have a book, they usually have it at another library …

I'm a fan of learning enough to know how to get going, then just start building. In the process of building you'll get stuck and have to look for answers. As for are there better t…

I suppose any disease isn't that bad when you have round the clock medical care pumping you full of medicine.

But couldn't the same thing apply to traffic deaths? In 2018, in the US, over 36,000 people died in car accidents. That's higher than coronavirus deaths, so logically shouldn't we …

So it's what I'm thinking, it's the news hyping it up to get clicks, ad impressions, etc? Seems kind of irresponsible to get the public into a frenzy just to make money.

Except that according to the CDC, second hand smoke causes 41,000 deaths per year in the US: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/heal...

Can someone explain to me why coronavirus is getting so much coverage? According to Wikipedia, Coronavirus has killed about 2000 people. Each year smoking kills 480,000 people in t…

At this point, I assume any article that relies on click bait titles are lacking in depth. "Will this vegetable cure cancer?" No, it will not. "This new productivity hack may surpr…

You don't need advanced AI to create hyper realistic deep fake news. You just need to take a picture of X candidate, stick a made up quote beneath them, and put it on Facebook. The…

It doesn't. The wording of the post I replied to was an angry, black and white response condemning a rising stock market since it benefits the wealthy. My point was the stock marke…

My 401k is invested in that same stock market, along with the retirement accounts of every other person in the United States. I hope the market continues to rise, especially since …

Not sure why you're looking for that value exactly or what your current situation is, but in addition to increasing your income, you can also look at decreasing your expenses. It m…

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Guess I'll make a point to read your book then :-)
