Given how badly we fucked up with COVID in the UK, odds are many of those people are now dead.

Not a classroom setting, but I recently needed to investigate a software engineer in my team that has allegedly been using ChatGPT to do their work. My company works with critical customer data, so we’re banned from using any generative AI tools.

It’s really easy to tell. The accused engineer cannot explain their own code, they’ve been seen using ChatGPT at work, and they’re stupid enough to submit code with wildly different styling when we dictate the use of a formatter to ensure our code style is consistent. It’s pretty cut and dry, IMO.

I imagine that teachers will also do the same thing. My wife is a teacher, and has asked me about AI tools in the past. Her school hasn’t had any issues, because it’s really obvious when ChatGPT has been used - similarly to how it’s obvious when someone ripped some shit off the internet and paraphrased some parts to get around web searches.

Try a combat sport instead. I got bored of the gym, so I started BJJ. It’s fun, and it basically gives me a skill I’ve learned.

Purely anecdotal, but I worked for a small software company that were truly awful. I left a review on leaving that was honest, but factual. Weeks later, a competing review was left up that countered all of my points as positives - often hilariously so, shit like “we don’t unit test because we aim to be right first time”.

My review was then removed from Glassdoor. Knowing the rumours, I used an old eMail address that would be hard to link back to me. A little while after, the COO complained on LinkedIn about fake reviews on Glassdoor, pasting my email address that I had used to register.

I trust the negative reviews on that site, but not the positive ones. I also don’t trust Glassdoor as a company to do what it says it’ll do…

Honest question, but how is Trump still alive? He’s in his late seventies, apparently eats McDonalds most days with an ungodly amount of diet coke, and looks like he hasn’t exercised since the 80’s.

He’ll be in his 80’s if he gets another term, and given his lifestyle, the stresses of business/politics, and the constant travel, I simply cannot see him continuing. I know Biden is 80, but at least he looks like he’s looked at a vegetable or had a brisk walk this year…

Am British, and feel the same, although here kids can drive on private land at a younger age (usually farm workers), so sometimes you see kids immediately take their tests (theory and practical) at 17 and pass.

FWIW, I fully agree, and I’ve seen countless examples of managers using LP’s as a weapon to fuel URA or to promote their own views.

The view is distorted in that the people that Jassy is pissing off are those that benefited and thrived under the reign of Bezos. IMO, he would’ve done the exact same thing, but that doesn’t stop the Amazon cult from remembering “the good old days”.

I work at Amazon, and for many people this is what annoys people the most.

Rightly or wrongly, a lot of people like Amazon because it pushes the narrative that data is king. If you want to do something, you need the right data and figures to justify it.

Since Jassy took over, Amazon mimicked other tech companies by becoming a belief-driven company, instead of a data-driven company. The reason he’s losing patience is because his belief is being questioned, at a time where his leadership is either being questioned or being followed right to the top.

That might have been true decades ago, but now people have:

• Greater access to knowledge, and are forced to think more critically about what they consume.
• More extreme views, which picks off the weak.
• Most importantly, older people had stuff. They owned houses, had stable, life-long careers, and had settled down before they hit their thirties.

People in their mid to late thirties nowadays might have a fancier job title, but many of them are still struggling like they were before. It’s hard to be protectionist when you have nothing but your life to protect…

I find it funny how there are often lots of people that live in the US that would love to move somewhere like the UK, while there is also someone in the UK that would love to move to the US.

While the former is far easier than the latter, I wish that there was a “The Holiday” style visa where you could swap status with someone for a year.

The lack of them, I guess?

There are lots of communities, but many of them are absolutely dead. My fav subs were BJJ, Hajime No Ippo, Squared Circle, and CS Career Questions. None of them are active here.

From a security perspective, the product has sucked for many years now, but it never halted their popularity. If he can survive Apple needing to intervent to remove a web server they installed on people’s machines, he’ll survive this.

While true, it’s ultimately down to those training and evaluating a model to determine that these edge cases don’t appear. It’s not as hard when you work with compositional models that are good at one thing, but all the big tech companies are in a ridiculous rush to get their LLM’s out. Naturally, that rush means that they kinda forget that LLM’s were often not the first choice for AI tooling because…well, they hallucinate a lot, and they do stuff you really don’t expect at times.

I’m surprised that Google are having so many issues, though. The belief in tech has been that Google had been working on these problems for many years, and they seem to be having more problems than everyone else.

I think we’ve been on a quick spiral towards seeing just how much the electorate would deal with.

There are deep parallels with Trumpists and Brexiteers in that their following is almost religious. Pair this with the fact that the UK doesn’t have a constitution, and we’ve found that it doesn’t actually matter if a PM is found to have misled parliament or have been charged by the police for an offence. Politicians can get away with whatever they want, including breaking the law, and people will still rather vote for them.

Do you have any stats/resources that show that these streaming services are inherently unprofitable?

As someone that currently works in AI/ML, with a lot of very talented scientists with PhD’s and dozens of papers against their name, it boils my piss when I see crypto cunts I used to know that are suddenly all on the AI train, trying to peddle their “influence” on LinkedIn.

As a non-American, I have no idea if any of this is true, but I love it anyway.

And I love Dunkey.

LLM’s are pricey to train and evaluate, much more so than compositional models.

But no, OpenAI aren’t going bust due to this. Given that they have the most successful LLM on the market, it’s safe to say that they probably know how much they cost, and can calculate roughly how much their yearly spend will be.

For a long time I absolutely hated Zach Braff because he had an uncanny ability to have love interests that matched mine.

Sarah Chalke, Mandy Moore, Heather Graham, Elizabeth Banks, Tara Reid - basically a conveyor belt of women I was in love with as a teen.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a fucking stupid approach, as do ~90% of IC’s at these companies.

Someone at Amazon put it nicely when they’ve said that there’s a rise in “belief-driven” leadership in tech right now. Instead of following the data and asking people what they want, we’re seeing tech leaders position themselves as visionaries, and making market-changing decisions on gut feeling. It’s absolutely a series a short-term decisions, and all they care about is what they think, and how it’ll save their skin for the next 3-6 months.
