Bumble has actually issued an apology for their billboard ads https://www.instagram.com/bumble/p/C67U1nyuZNI/?img_index=1

2024-05-15 21:54:17 +0000 UTCI stopped going to school for teaching after many of the subreddit posts and stories people I knew were telling after they got in the field. I really loved working with students (I had done some shadowing and a week of student teaching) but how administration and my state government treats teachers really turned me off of the profession.

2024-05-15 17:26:13 +0000 UTCAgree with the above, certainly some aspects of the industry will change and possibly be eliminated. We saw that with smaller web dev type roles with the introduction of wysiwyg site builders like squarespace. There will also 100% be executives that cut a ton of jobs with the plan to use AI, the same way a ton of jobs were offshored before quietly coming back as the cost/benefit didn't pan out. It will also lower the bar to entry for somethings that previously required development experience which will inevitably be a double edged sword. Think the script kiddie boom when stack overflow started. There will inevitably be people who push code from GPT out into production without understanding what it does and the potential security vulnerabilities. More than likely we'll find a balance where LLM will be supplemental to aid in generating boilerplate, helping with code reviews, etc. Our company is already doing some of this with pretty mixed results so far. By nature of their designs LLMs hallucinate and require validation and clean up. This won't change with more data fed into the system. On a project of scale only a fraction of a software engineers time is spent writing code. A big part of that job is translating requests and ideas from non-technical people to what is technically feasible. In my experience product owners rarely know concisely what it is they want and when provided with open ended possibilities suffer from blank canvas paralysis. I'm surprised by Burnie's instant jump to obsolescence as it ignores a significant number of industries that are incredibly slow to adopt emerging technologies (looking at you governments, public utilities and healthcare) either due to bureaucracy or lack of budget. There's also plenty that due to security/privacy/IP concerns can't feed their code bases into a LLM serviced by a 3rd party that will retrain on the input. I think there's a lot to caught up in in the shininess of the presentation that is highly curated and optimized and gloss over the real world applications aren't going to be as clean. We just went through this last month with Devin AI only for it to be outted as a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

2024-05-15 08:36:49 +0000 UTCAs a software engineer, I’m still not worried about AI taking my job 😅. It will eviscerate parts of the industry, but I’ll be worried the day a product person can articulate a list of requirements that actually matches what they want. Not to mention any company sufficiently large has many product people who often have conflicting requirements and agendas. So I wish AI good luck 😂.

2024-05-15 02:38:02 +0000 UTCUsing generative AI to code in industry gets dicey around intellectual property rights (of the code) and feeding sensitive data into an AI which collects user data

2024-05-14 18:22:56 +0000 UTCHello! Bilingual language teacher here (English/Italian). I live in Italy, but I was born in Scotland (loving hearing about you guys exploring the country; it's bringing back tons of good memories! [Mellisis Cheesemonger does delivery all over Scotland and, in the past, certainly had a large selection of cheeses to choose from. We often got Italian and Spanish cheeses we couldn't find elsewhere, but Brexit might have had an impact on the amount of choice...]) I haven't watched the video on Chat GPT 4o yet, and I can only find an English-Spanish clip. My Spanish isn't great, so I can't tell how good the translation is. If someone can point me in the right direction for the English-Italian one, that'd be great! I think a universal translation device hasn't been fully developed because translation is often subjective and not objective. Some things don't translate, and others do, but the meaning changes. The best way to test this is to chuck a couple of sentences into a plurilingual translator and translate the responses back to the original language. Often, but not always, there will be some slight changes to the sentence. I hope AI can aid in this, but the issue with translation has always been conveying the intended idea. Summarising the discussion is definitely a step in the right direction, but I'm doubtful it will ever be perfect... The only nonpolitical/nonreligious example I can think of is Dumbledore, who, in Italian, was initially translated into "Silente." This conveyed him as a quiet type, while in reality, he's constantly muttering, talking to himself, and bumbling about (Dumbledore is old English for a bumblebee!). TL;DR, translation is hard, even for professionals + Dumbledore is a bumblebee.

2024-05-14 17:16:58 +0000 UTC“Super-intelligence” by Nic Bostrom is the best book I have read on the AI front. Terrifying. I am always torn by radically accepting change around me (to ensure a peaceful life that rapidly makes me adapt) and fighting for a cause/position I genuinely believe in. (Which might make me miserable and bitter in life)

2024-05-14 15:36:03 +0000 UTCMy theory to the whole "we have a negative reaction to something that looks human but isn't" is corpses. Humans built an instinct to be weirded out to get us to leave, since we don't know WHAT killed that person. Could be that a predator is nearby, a disease killed them, or they ate something poisonous. Eitherway, our body has a negative reaction to get us to leave for self-preservation.
