Well the irony of that is if labour disappears these vultures don’t live in peace. They end up fighting each other until the victor is left standing lol.

Nice analogy.

In many ways producing output of the brain is akin to juggling thoughts, ideas and concepts.

Yep most comparisons are DOA.

If the two objects don’t possess the same fundamental characteristics they cannot be said to be comparable.. and if such fundamental differences exists you have to control for them.

Spot on there’s an easy test.

Ask said person who learned something to describe it back to you in their own words.

Then watch them fumble :)

The second test is - explain it in such simple terms that someone who has barely any knowledge of it can understand it.

What damage lmao? Let’s see the llm producers raise the price to what is necessary to generate viable returns.

BTW they need to make enough to finance reinvestment internally… so it’s a lot more than you think. When they raise the price firms will then have to do a deep dive analysis on what to do - for they cannot see operating expenses climb incrementally without seeing revenue and costs of operations go in a favourable direction.

It’s easy when prices are lower than they should be.

Your prediction is missing all this detail. So….

Yep writing works what I call the instinctive memory - and it’s more powerful than pure memorisation alone as it builds intuition - this is much cheaper to act on than continually re-engaging with the brain which is resource intensive.

This is why people who have been programming for 20 years don’t get the big hoo-ha about the effect on juniors.
