> Second, I learned that cheating, however lightly, is now considered a major crime. It might result in the student being banned from any university in the country for three years. Discussing exam with someone who has yet to pass it might be considered cheating. Students have very strict rules on their Discord.
This has also something to do with it. Hard to make very accurate conclusions.
Another kind of protection is Reddit and Twitter remaining alive as quarantines. Rather than if they collapsed and the newer better places absorbed the refugees.
Around 2,000 people were killed in Iran protests, an Iranian official told Reuters on Tuesday, blaming "terrorists" for the deaths of civilians and security personnel.
A senior Iranian health ministry official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said about 3,000 people had been killed across the country but sought to shift the blame to “terrorists” fomenting unrest. The figure included hundreds of security officers, he said.
Another government official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he had seen an internal report that referred to at least 3,000 dead, and added that the toll could climb.
Maybe they have come to hard conclusion that it is unsustainable without Google/Meta/Microsoft level funding. Model prices just keep increasing while old models are removed. Subscription is not enough?
People already say here that they don’t even look the code anymore. ”That is AIs job”. As long as there is a spec and tests pass, they are happy! I just can’t do that.
It's just the next rung on the enshittification ladder. So many steps in our "progress" to enlightenment as a society, as a technology community, is just abstracting away work with a "good enough" solution that is around an 80% solution
That's fine for the first iteration or two, because you think "oh man this is going to make me so productive, I'll be able to use this new productivity to wring 40% of progress out of that 20% gap"
But instead we just move on to the next thing, bring that 20% shittified gap along with us, and the next thing that gets built or paved over has a 20% gap, and eventually we're bankrupt from rolling over all that negative equity
The counter argument for this is the comparison for traditional compilers. AI is "the new compiler", just for natural language. The optimization happens over time! But I am not so sure about that.
Except that the most glaring difference is that compilers are deterministic, while LLMs aren't.
Given the same input, compilers will always return the same output, while for LLMs. They won't, given the same input, they will return different output.
> What I don't understand about this whole "get on board the AI train or get left behind" narrative, what advantage does an early adopter have for AI tools?
Replace that with anything and you will notice that people who are building startups in this area will want to bring the narrative like that as it usually highly increases the value of their companies. When narrative gets big enough, then big companies must follow - or they look like "lagging behind". Whether the current thing brings value or not. It is a fire that keeps feeding itself. In the end, when it gets big enough - we call it as bubble. Bubble that may explode. Or not.
Whether the end user gets actual value or not, is just side effect. But everyone wants to believe that that it brings value - otherwise they were foolish to jump in the train.
I wonder what is the role of moderating duplicate questions. More time passes - more existing data there is and less need for new questions. If you moderate duplicate questions, will they disappear from these charts? Is this decline actually logical?
This has also something to do with it. Hard to make very accurate conclusions.
