  • I was talking today about this with a couple of colleagues.

    In my field (industrial programming) there’s a real fear that we’re going to be substituted by AI. And… I think it’s probably going to happen. And it’s going to be reaaaaaally fun: because things will go like this:

    one day, my boss will realize that chatgpt can make a program for a machine in 10 minutes instead of 2 weeks. And with zero knowledge about programming, he will fire me.

    Then, chatgpt will create his next software for a machine, and he will start making money like crazy because he cut the costs to a fraction and reduced shipping times to almost zero.

    And things will go nicely. But one day, the machine that works under the software chatgpt made, will injure or worse, kill a person. And my boss will then learn the hard way that chatgpt can’t be held responsible for that death and him, being the only one left, will be charged for that death.

    Soon after that, he will start looking for new positions again, either as “software advisors” who check the code before it’s shipped so he can discharge the responsibility on them, or as programmers to do what they were doing some months ago, but this time, for more money, given the precedents.



  • A velociraptor would never eat or promote eating chicken, that would be like promoting, idk, eating your own cousin (the one you don’t see since that last Thanksgiving, some years ago, when your uncle (their father) started talking about how dinosaurs don’t exist because earth is 2000 years old, got kicked from your house and decided to cut ties).

    Edit: don’t use gboard, use thumb-key. Best keyboard ever (once you learn it) and easy to use single handed with even less than 5 fingers

    Please disregard that last part of the sentence, I’m not suggesting anything like having less than the usual 5 fingers a human hand has.
