Not good at subjects you have no previously learnt knowledge. They tell you have "hit the nail on the head" when you really haven't. They tell you have had a "great insight" when y…

Perfect is the enemy of good. Also, you can use the bank's website for most tasks. I think most non-techies could happily do this.

Arguably we already have, if you concentrate on intelligence rates since 1975: the reverse Flynn affect. Those who grew up about that time no longer had to generate their own enter…

If people are handing off the coding to AI more and more then they'll be less skilled at spotting potential bugs in the first place. AI, course of, could be run to find potential b…

The link given elsewhere here about the multi-layered aspect of the stories from 1, 2 and RMI gives it a bit more depth. Obviously if you take it on the surface level only it's low…

That link was amazing. I felt that Return to Monkey Island was a bit of a cop-out. But the multi-layer, Mulholland Drive-esq, storytelling is a real eye-opener. It appears that his…

I wonder did you enjoy the Monkey Island games. I really loved Delores and Ransome particularly in TWP.

I pretty much saw the ending an effort to put the story to end and move on after all the years of speculation.

If you every played the first two Monkey Island games, and understand the lore behind that, then the ending is pretty good. Thimbleweed park, in many way, was a spiritual successor…

Is it me or are those emails clearly understood to be AI generated? The grammatical usage and structures are a huge tell. Perfect and soulless.

Code that kills your project is code that works, and is either misunderstood or unmaintainable And the industry is rushing towards it, whilst failing to train people who are able t…

The number of people--adults included--who, when don't know something they could easily think about, resort to some AI bot rather than thinking, and developing their mind and intel…

Teach a classroom of comprehensive children and then come back and say parents both want to and are able to control their children all of the time.

Because it means you let those with unsavory behaviour define your behaviour

Shouldn't parents be the ones to protect their children from the dangers of heroin, rather than an over-reaching state?

I teach children. You have no idea how much social media has affected their attention, memory, critical reasoning and social skills: the social repercussions will be felt for decad…

I believe that I would be happy to recompense someone for their efforts since, providing I enjoy the music, I happily give money to buskers. Yet getting my credit card out for a st…

Believing pride in ones work is important, a communist makes you not. And sweeping ideas away by categorising the idea is the destruction of debate.

I theorise that many social ills come from workers having less pride in their skills and achievements, and a greater sense of social alienation, due to automation. If you spend cou…

Get people hooked, tell them spending time coding is no longer needed, let their skills deteriorate, tell them they need cough up for a licence to do their job Forcing developers t…

I'm perhaps missing something but if there were a significant connection, wouldn't this mean those in sunnier climates would have better verbal and visual memory? If there were a c…

From my fairly quick reading, their premise seems to be "we can no longer trust /unknown/ developers who use AI to understand and maintain the code they submit", rather than a simp…

The rust conversion was a byte-for-byte replica of the original's bytecode, was it not? Thereby it was easily possible to validate the quality of the AI-based work. The same would …

So the US won the cold war and eventually decided to emulate their defeated opponent. It's quite a character arch.

OpenAI etc, are, however advertising them like they are magical oracles, on the verge of lifting humanity to next phrase of civilisation. The idea the majority of users know what n…
