just because it was wrong once doesn't mean its never wrong. And was it really that wrong? The internet is great but would it be the worst thing in the world if we didn't live our lives around it?
this kind of thing feeds perfectly into our fears. However, we have to place trust in individuals and the choices they make - that's the only thing that matters at the end of the day.
Kids know that they should be learning things. They know that chatgpt can get in the way of that. Will they choose to do it the right way eventually aside from a few bumps in the road? I think so.
but does improving really help these small companies in the way it matters? If the cost of the infrastructure is apparently not important to the needs of the business..
anything that needs very real-time info. AI's will always be limited by us feeding them info, or them collecting it themselves. But humans can travel to more places than an AI can, until robots are everywhere too I suppose
how did you leave it behind? I am at their mercy right now and interested in switching to a stack where people actually value the tech rather than just tolerate it.
As a Data Engineer, I feel like a fixer. People think their data is incorrect and they ask me to fix it. It's similar to fixing someone's computer when they think its broken.
Incredibly valuable but also somewhat unfulfilling in that you are rarely innovating/inventing like a SWE. There you are building tools that can change how people act/think. On the other hand, as a SWE/inventor you aren't desperately needed like you are as a DE. The needing can be nice...
Wouldn’t this avoid a lot of ad exposure that companies are currently enjoying? Why would they want to give that up by allowing you to use your llm instead?
this is why I don't like school. It squeezes everything you need to know into a semester and you feel dumb for not understanding it right away. At least I do. But if you just had a little more time it would be totally fine.
I think it's the single tool for many uses thing. It's somehow more satisfying for some chef's to use, love, and care for a single knife to do everything in the kitchen than to buy 100 different chopping products. Emacs is the same way for people who love to build their tool and use it for everything. If you don't feel that way you probably won't see the point which is fine.
There needs to be some reason for users to chose to run their code. Maybe if self hosted software was somehow even cheaper than cloud software? Or maybe they hear about their friend/cousin getting their data stolen by hosting it in the cloud? Or maybe its so much faster hosted at home that the cloud can't compete. Or especially if its easier to store it yourself than it is to store it in the cloud somehow. I wonder if self hosted software can compete on any of these metrics? - safety, cost, speed, convenience?
