I mean isn't it like the uncanny valley? it's sort of like "the real thing" aka human created artworks that we traditionally love and connect with, but just far enough that it gives us even more disgust that something completely not human created(like an inanimate object) would.

ah yes another feeble fool that thinks his 100$ subscription is equivalent to 400 billion years of evolution simply because he is stupid and watches a lot of scifi.

I think you are misunderstanding something, AI does not think, it is a token prediction algorithm.

I can read and write code why do I need an LLM to produce something I still have to read and test

it would be that simple if a mental-health altering token-predictor wasn't being consistently shoved down our collective throats.

How many years of real-life, in-production problem solving/coding have you done? That's what I base how informed you are not how much you use your favorite new $100/month token-prediction subscription

CIA has been destabilizing and puppeteering governments around the world. Why are you so steadfastly assured that they wouldn't meddle in the US?

Not saying there is proof, but we just found out Ukraine blew up the Russian pipeline so it seems weird to just squash debate at the 'that's too crazy to ever happen'. Way crazier things have happened/are constantly happening.

Any hope for DACA? I get a consultation every few years but they always tell me i'll have to leave the country for consulate appointment and possibly not be allowed back in.

Well if the market ever bounces back I think people will be a lot less loyal about leaving places with subpar salaries esp after all the layoffs

Everyone always says that tech doesn't need unions because of the ability to negotiate. Doesn't seem to be working out well for the industry as a whole.

We have basically the same problem as UPS/Auto industry -> no trickle down.

Top 3 auto companies set to make 32 Billion this year. -> 580,000 employees Apple profit is 250 bill -> 164,000 employees
