thanks for the extra thoughts :) I do agree... learning to grind is hard, and its definitely a hard challenge for most kids these days. Knife skills doesn't align well with [my] girls, but I'll look for a more gender-aligned idea ;)
I think you might have misunderstood my point. I was not leaning to teach them AI. But since my kids aren't "naturally intended" towards tech and code, my questions is more if this is something I should still push a bit, because if you are not going to be a top-level software engineer, then you probably have no chances to compete with AI. Heck, you already don't, what to speak of 10 years in the future...
Yeah, that's true, they are digital, but still feel "old". I was quite amazed while playing a vinyl record, accidentally lowered the volume down to 0, and could still literally hear a bit of sound coming out, not from the speakers, from the needle touching the record. Then I remembered that it's the actual sound waves that are engraved in the record. Amazing stuff
I've been leaning to more analog (and "old") stuff these days. Not sure if it's because I'm tired of all the crap online, or its a coincidence of getting older and missing the old times. Maybe a bit of both. But I really enjoy sitting in my living room and do nothing except listen to my record and cd player.
Funny, I've been thinking in the same lines as of lately. The speed-up of the lost of trust (and interest) in everything online will make us care more for the real world around us. Perhaps we will see a big shift in values.
But then again, perhaps we won't and things will just get worse.
it's crazy, I have seen so many projects popping up just focusing on reducing token usage. At least caveman speak is funny!
Have to say that since we switched to our own model in a rented GPU, we stopped worrying about tokens and just use the hell out of our AI as much as we want :)
> Impressive technology, but that old skool artisanal weirdness of yore only becomes more valuable and nostalgic.
but does it still exists? Even without AI everyone is utilizating the same css frameworks, same libraries and templates... design is pretty much boring these days. CSS Zen Garden anyone?
