Counterpoint - “look at how effective AI is, it’s made everyone realise their career is for nothing!”

Yes, it can get that bad

I think the sentiment comes from people that just don’t find pleasure from working/mastery. The incentives have changed so much with llm-enabled development, but not which ones peo…

The other thing it does is give a path towards resolution (or at least mitigation) for some issues. Wife was diagnosed adhd, and got a shrug wrt an autism diagnosis. We looked into…

> parents Parent-based rights arguments are perfectly adequate for the 80%, but degenerate in some horrific ways for the rest of the population. We need community-level input on ho…

Expressing some frustration with the authors lack of consideration when announcing something is fairly natural, tbh. Posts like this break the social contract, and honestly show a …

How do you know ChatGPT is referencing the right information if you need to look it up in a manual?

You do have a little fault here, but it’s marginal vs his lifetime choices, and his lack of understanding of his limits. There should be enough room for forgiveness in all of that.…

They fall into the same fuzzy area as chemical weapons imo. They have a non-standard form factor, sure, but they’re still primarily intended to harm people

My psych pointed out that yawning is a tension release mechanism, so it’s likely just punting a bunch of cortisol from your nervous system

One of the last scenes from "The Sign" is based on the Mount Coot-tha Summit Lookout. Lots of fond memories there, including a proposal in my family. And it's 20 minutes from the C…

> Did they "come across" it in their mom's basement? No, they came across it by being in the right place at the right time, supported by habits and behaviours that were mostly dete…

The fact that they came across the start up in the first place had no element of luck? The fact that they were born with the genetics to be smart enough to contribute to it was ful…

This is literally survivorship bias. I'm sure there were people in the same period, working on a similar problem and they didn't hit the IPO lottery.

I think there's a lot to be said about the restrictions you put on a system when it comes to design. I like Outer Wilds! It's fun, I'm currently playing through it. However, Celest…

Sometimes a simple "pattern interrupt" can break the cycle. If you've a habit of opening the page whenever you hop on your phone, that extra effort may be enough to push back again…

I don't think it's corruption so much as the public sector getting harvested for parts via privatisation and outsourcing to contractors. The usual cycle goes like this: - "We need …

The scope of what's considered a "table top RPG" these days is pretty large. A large number of them are more focussed on the creativity and drama aspects, rather than the tactical …

Yeah nah, old mate over here putting in the hard yakka and ignoring the place of code-switching. There's a middle ground between "souless corpo speak" and speaking colloquially. Yo…

This feels like a non sequitur. Their project being open source or not doesn't protect their mental health spiralling. This could have happened to a paid lib, and you'd be out of l…

Not everything needs a financial incentive
