I really want to read a bunch of old papers from the IEE library but it looks very hard to get access to at any reasonable price for personal usage. Anyone got any hints or tips for me?

It's alchemy that works and if you don't know it you are left behind, so that's important.

You can always pick up the latest trick quickly, and if you struggle at all, an LLM can explain. There is no evidence of people falling behind.

As with any powerful but potentially-hazardous tool that is not perfectly reliable, I personally prefer to know what I'm doing and how the tool works. That's why I still have 10 fingers, 2 eyes, and a job.

Admittedly part of the hype around AI is that you won't have to need to know what you're doing in order to use it. But there's a massive downside if you believe that and it turns out to be wrong.

There is no skill involved in using AI. Most of the stuff people do on top of frontier models is just cope. It’s literally the bitter lesson repeated.

Don't people get better results by putting LLMs inside the right kind of loops and using the right kind of prompts? If I go to Claude and prompt "make me a website" it certainly doesn't produce as good of a result as other people with more sophisticated processes get.
And Claude or gpt can make websites just fine. So can the open weight models.
