Be realistic and practical here, in what situation are you going to start typing into a computer "A teddy bear walking in a park" and then start to do anything with the images it generates in a case where you would've entrusted and artist or designer to make something for you ?

What about when you need different scales, different colors, different this and that, are you going to sit there and keep prompting for this ?

I've worked with people who are really good with Illustrator, they can change and produce images for different purposes in a ridiculously short amount of time already. The ting is, even if I could recruit AI to do it, I probably wouldn't and just want someone else to take care of it. To make favicons and screw around with thumbnails and vector images and the list goes on.

There's also the fact that, some people have an eye for style and application of it. Even when I've tried to use DALL-E, which I never have successfully because it always generates something weird enough to be unusable, I've not been confident that my own personal selection is good enough, I'm not a designer, I don't have an eye for art or color, or style etc. It's not my profession to know what's nice. I don't want that responsibility, so I outsource it.
Very easy to track... radio direction finding for a static source, even operating at low power output, is a solved problem. Adding a GSM uplink provides zero annonymity because you still need to connect via IP, which can ultimately be unpicked even with TOR or VPN masking if the infrastructure has been compromised.
Interestingly, it might be easier to replace mid-skill artists than mid-skill developers (not to say both won't happen over time). The key difference is that when generating art, you can say "Make A in-the-style B.", get what you want, and move on.

Meanwhile, you have to live with the consequences of AI generated code.

Case in point: My wife was trying to build a system to generate POs per vendor from a series of workorders a couple weeks ago. She was using AirTable, which vastly simplifies the creation and use of relational databases. Given a lack of database experience, the structure that she made was misaligned with what she actually needed (and completely denormalized). Putting it into production would have caused major problems over time.

This made me realize that writing code is only one of the barriers to entry in software. Eliminating this barrier effectively gives everyone in the world access to a small team of incredibly junior developers who have no idea what they're doing.

Just like mismanaged DIY home projects create more work for professional contractors, I think AI might -oddly enough- create more positions for mid-tier and higher developers.
What I've noticed is that it seems to almost have Alzheimer's now.

When it first came out, it seemed to be able to hold context all the way back to the beginning of the chat thread. Now it seems to be limited to roughly 2-3 messages.

You can actually test this I found by telling it a bunch of detailed information over the course of 5-6 messages, and then ask it a question about something you mentioned in message 1. For me, it will almost 100% fail at this now.

Makes it almost useless to me IMO. The main thing I was excited about was the ability to dump large corpus' of information into it as chat messages and then be able to have it distill down answers to specific questions I have about the content.

Effectively useless for that now that it's only able to "remember" the most recent 1-2000 words.

I dislike frameworks for the same reason most of their proponents like frameworks, you can not expect to out-compete all the smart people working together on a common goal. Frameworks are bad at cultivating off-colour ideas, they tend to have a well curated API but are often stuck with a singular architecture. Sometimes the solution is to be found in some lateral dimension. One such example is PostREST, it does away with 80% of API boilerplate by inferring the API from the database schema using functional programming magic. You sort of have to become a Postgresql wizard to get everything out of it, but I feel that this knowledge is somehow more valuable than yet another backend framework.

But couldn't one implement exceptions internally by returning error codes? Yes, this would change the ABI but as long as we're not talking about the interface of a library, i.e. are not leaving the realms of our source code, this should be ok, shouldn't it?

In a sense, try/catch would then just be syntactic sugar that frees you from manually checking for errors after every single function call. Instead, you just handle them in bulk in a catch block, potentially a couple stack frames further upstairs.

EDIT: I just realized my suggestion wouldn't exactly be equivalent to exceptions, in the sense that it wouldn't give stack traces but error return traces, like in Zig:

I think artists will just have to leverage the tech on a larger scale to be effective. No matter how it's created, the best art will still have value..

It may not be economical to, for instance, have an entire studio of dozens or hundreds of artists produce an animated film with an anticipatory budget.. but I suspect it will still be quite profitable for a handful of artists and some AI to produce that same film in a shorter time period.

Or it may be profitable for a 13 year old kid to produce that film in his spare time. In that way, I see it as a sort of artistic renaissance where new voices are found and the pace of artistic acceleration is unprecedented.

Looking for Internship for International Students
I am a Bs. in Computer Science student in my final semester and currently hold a 3.87 GPA and have been getting into Dean's list every semester. As a student from Southeast Asia, I am fully adept in living in various conditions, especially abroad. I have a full-ride scholarship and can get extra support from my university as I am expecting to graduate with the Vice Chancellor's award, and have been nominated by the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences to represent the faculty to study in Canada previously.

However, where I live, employers often take interns for granted. Most of us gets conned into thinking we are having trained for what we learned, but instead have to use photocopier machines every day and, sometimes with no salaries provided (just "gift" allowance of less than 100 usd per three months.)

I hope someone can guide me on where I can send my application. Sorry for the long post :)
I think the real question is what does "making these things happen" realistically pay, pennies on the hour to sit in front of a screen and maybe elevate that to the 1/10,000 person who has to come hit a few keys to get the station running again?
In my uni, the class was more or less unadvertised and the professor largely ignored — you had to go out of your way to take it (I was actively looking for poorly rated professors, because I figured they were usually rated such because they graded hard… which probably meant they cared more). When I tried to google the subject/code examples afterwards, I largely only found textbooks and one-off blog posts.

Also a lot of GitHub repos with names like CS550…

Only place I’ve seen it referenced since that class was:

1. HN periodically

2. A YouTube documentary about Disneyland fast pass queues

3. A business optimization consultancy

Ultimately, a pretty niche subject area AFAICT. But implementing a fairly efficient queuing simulation seems to be pretty easy, and the subject seems to be stupid powerful and broadly applicable… so I’ve never understood why it’s not more discussed
Durable documentation should use good grammar and clear sentences, and there needs to be ways to either submit easy feedback or just correct them. We use Google Docs, and if somethings non-controversial I just fix it, if not then I add a comment with a proposed fix.

I'm less worried about tickets; they're read much less often, and need to be quickly written without lots of thought.

Seeing as the top 10% hold over 60% of the wealth (in the US, globally we have a dozen people with as much wealth as the bottom 50%), I don't see how this follows.
I feel like you're trivializing a complex issue.

Developers have the right to say how they want their code to be used in the same way that authors have the right to say how their books can be used.

The code in a public repository doesn't have to be "free" for developers any more than publically downloadable piece of software has to be "free" for end-users.

For example, Microsoft offers a freely downloadable windows iso which people are not allowed to use use without a license.

Things have improved quite a bit in the latest freecad versions, and I remember reading somewhere that the next one promises to solve whatever's left over.

My biggest gripe with freecad isn't necessarily that (it's easy enough to work around), but that going back few steps to edit things and apply it forward is very fragile. There are ideas floating around to better handle this workflow but we'll have to see how well that goes (it's probably a very difficult problem to solve with no general solution). In the meantime this gives me a lot of frustration and rework, but, running on Linux, there's no real alternative as far as I can see.
Developers are users of libraries.

Only if you put a lot more trust in your sense than in your social cognitive abilities.

Section D is what makes it specifically GPL incompatible. The problem with not having ANY terms is that people can make derivatives of your software under new conditions, due to how copyright law works. You need conditions to impose the lack of conditions.

"AI won’t make artists redundant"

Of course it will make them redundant. All it takes is one "creative" in place of several graphic designers. What you write are just theories. Do you know what the design process looks like? How many "human problems" are there along the way?

Only the ARTISTS will remain. Artists whose work you will want to buy. Such a fancy for the rich.
> my programming skills will likely be massively devalued

I see this in the context of the drawing vs. art analogy. Yes, your typing and maybe syntax skills will be devalued, but your higher level, creative programming skills are probably safe for a good long time yet.
Only society can make artists redundant. If people want to get their "art" by digitally rehashing what real artists did in the past then we don't need artists.

How exactly things will play out is not clear: photography did not eliminate painting. Algorithms will not eliminate more "manual" creative work. Some new genres might emerge.

Ultimately what is a more important problem is that the commercialization of artistic production was always challenging. When you can create infinite replicas with semi-random variations it only makes the problem worse.
But is it though? I once read you can implement infinite memory address register with it, Ill look it up

I think that “AI” (there is not even a drop of an actual AI in the current technology) is overhyped and barely can handle any of jobs people wanted it to do. It’s maybe good for sketching, be that code, text or images, but not for final product, and won’t be any time soon. As it was with all “AI” products in the past, it’s over advertised by ML bros and grifters.
> > Or is this just an often repeated falsehood?

This is correct. Except for inflation it’s impossible for asset prices to rise everywhere.

Some places and some assets will see a rise while other places and other assets will see a drop.

While everybody was screaming at the everything bubble there were real assets that became defacto worthless (at least temporarily) the entire fleet of passengers Boeings and Airbus. Not to mention cruise ships, casinos, theme parks..

What about NYC real estate? The pandemic had people thinking that life is too short to live in such packed conditions in places so sensitives to pandemics.

Can we also talk about oil which collapsed during Covid and hit a negative 37 dollars per barrel? All commodities did bad during the pandemic, oil, LNG, copper etc.

It’s a form of selection bias because pundits and commentators always watch where the money is going , not places where money is hemorrhaging (that is unless there is a big bankruptcy), but sector wise they just dont focus on it.

A clear example is OPEC. Every pundit focuses on what OPEC does but nobody focuses on what it means for shale oil producers and their survival. The only people who focus on those are their lenders and investors as well as city officials but this profile doesn’t show up on your TV on Bloomberg or CNBC , because these outlets are too busy interviewing the Saudi or the UAE secretary of energy in the aftermath of the OPEC decision

As you grow up you understand they most of phenomenons that people swear by are selection bias.

There are theories that even stuff like physics is selection bias because we swear by the physics we know but it could be entirely rubbish because it’s not the truth of Nature but just our best intuition of the truth of Nature which is of course subject to selection bias anthropomorphically speaking

They sell demiglace in boxes and bags too about 10g per 100ml. If it's a matter of reduction of water, that'll make it 3x to 10x more expensive for the same amount of bones/carcass, if we use the 1-3g per 100 numbers in the article.

I was curious and went to check and this actually tracks based on Waitroses (UK) house brand stock and demiglace.
Their stock is 2.5g and 48p per 100ml and demiglace is 10g and £1.9 per 100ml, 4x the protein content and around 5x the price

I wish it was more commonly understood that capitalism's success lies precisely in the fact that it's a decentralized, self-regulating system robust against the failure of individual nodes, and has very little to do with the "capital" part of it, which if anything appears to drive wealth inequality more than anything else.
Reading the comments it seems that everyone assumes that art is always and only presented as pixels on a screen. Whereas most of the art in my house is hand painted on canvas and wood, hand embroidered, hand knitted, hand woven, hand thrown and decorated pottery. One picture was hammered out of a sheet of pewter.

One of my favourite places is the Henie-Onstadt Art Centre sculpture park, another is Vigelands Anlegg in Oslo, no pixels in either place.

So why does everyone seem to think that art is only flat, lit, pixels on a flat surface?

This is, obviously, a very insensitive use of ChatGPT, based on our current social customs, where authenticity and genuine effort is expected in these sorts of communications.

But there is one social situation where people really don't seem to object to being fed unoriginal, mass-marketed communication, even in very vulnerable circumstances.

I'm referring to the exchange of greeting cards.

When you lose a loved one and receive a sympathy card, or when you're going through a tough time and receive a "thinking of you" card, it doesn't really matter that the card giver is using someone else's flowery language because they couldn't think of the right words themselves.

In fact, there's an implied humility involved: "I'm not so good with words, but you deserve good words, so I obtained them from a professional wordsmith at Hallmark."

Perhaps down the line, social expectations will change in a way that acknowledges that people might turn to LLMs to put into words things they would like to say, but fear they cannot say well enough.
I've tried to convince artists to transition to the AI-augmented future, since October.
There's almost no successes. I've seen artist communities on multiple websites, in multiple languages. At first they tried to laugh at the AI. Now the AI has improved so radically so fast, they universally prefer to stick their head in the sand, and ban discussion of AI altogether, its all denial and rage.

On the more optimistic side. I see an extraordinary explosion in artistic innovation, just look at websites like CivitAI. The massive community all training subcomponents of the models for each other to share. The models rapidly improving every month just through fine-tuning and theoretical innovation, without stabilityAI's involvement (They are distracted by lawsuits now).
There are many 3d-artists intensely experimenting with AI art, to say make AI-anime, which has illustration qualities on every frame (A previous impossibility due to the costs involved).

It seems with AI, it'll really cleave communities in two. The ones who eagerly embrace it, seem to enjoy it extraordinarily, and achieve quite a lot of popularity and success. But the rest just want to pretend it doesn't exist, waiting till employers realize that they are no longer needed.

Regarding programming, it doesn't appear that AI programming can replace humans. Programming is very similar to novel writing in terms of complexity for AIs. And AIs are still extremely terrible at long-form storytelling. The lesson is to aggressively use AI tools as much as possible, to understand the long-term weaknesses of AIs, and deliver your values in those areas as a human.
Exactly. Art as an economic industry may die out. As a career, it may be reduced to a much smaller scope. But we'll always be able to express ourselves artistically - maybe even more so if AI frees up more time in which to do so.
“Programming as theory building” by Peter Naur touches that.

There's no money in comics, it's like saying "be a rock star".

Most comic book artists are (in financial terms) absolute failures, regardless of talent.

Surely for art, the route to replicable success is graphic design, animation, computer game art, etc.? Something the dumb ML AIs you see today probably won't ever be able to replace, you'd need some sort of AI capable of creation to do it.
