You just feel like you have learned those things. Without the LLM all of the “skills” are lost.

Hey Jarvis, move my 2pm to 10am. Proceed to wait 10s for extremely compute hungry system to do something that you could have done almost instantly by understanding how to use your device and or having any desire to move your fingers. Next.

Immunity after contraction… what? Vaccines are designed to reduce symptoms and have never been a guarantee of immunity. They can reduce transmission in the populace too and make it survivable for at-risk people. You’ve been huffing some bad media friend.

Sounds dreamy. Let's plug in and "write" code without interacting with anyone ever. That way you can further abstract yourself from all meaningful connections to become more efficient. Seriously cannot get inside the head of people like you.

Nah you just need to unfuck your insurance system. It’s fine in other places without watering down the quality of medical professionals.

Did you even read the open letter? Mathematicians are annoyed because the proof is only meaningful if people understand it and came to it. I mean I’m basically just summarising it now but it’s annoying you didn’t read it or can’t comprehend its nuance.

Do you work in a well-trodden set of problem spaces? There is still so much room for humans to be writing code. Especially in anything moderately creative.

As far as I can see most left wing political platforms at least have a plan to fund education unlike right wing parties which constantly seek austerity measures and general defunding of humanities and education.

I can’t imagine “remixing” treasured childhood memories that had a context so you can see a totally implausible and fictitious event. Am I the stupid one for not getting it?

Hacker news has to be some of the worst community when it comes to apologising on behalf of people who have said the shittiest things. If these people said what they said about you, your family or your race, you would have a problem, but he didn't so you don't. Sad.
