TechTakes

but I do know that what's available now is just f*cking impressive - and it will only get better.

Another victim of the proof-by-dopamine-hit fallacy it seems.

It's telling that the example he brings is that Claude can do pretty much decently what he was about to buy a 100$ voice controlled app for. As someone who aspires to the art of making great software, it's so infuriating to see how non-techies were conditioned into accepting slopware by years of enshittification and price gouging. Who cares if the tech barely works right? So does most anything, right?

Yeah he is trying to build his own EA movement. He also wrote a book (which I have not read) which basically argues that people in general are good not evil actually. (Fair enough, but not relevant).

Im still trying to meet him and shake is hand, the resulting matter antimatter explosion will take out the country.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

Fuck, I was just about to post that. You beat me to the sneer

"Best" for what purposes, and for whom?

No mention of swede suppositories?

Even if you've never heard of him before and know nothing else about him... this short tweet alone tells so much about what kind of person he is.

fuck this tweet and fuck yud

Groan, you don't need to finish high school to learn about false dichotomy.

Interesting first job your mind goes to there Yud. Might spend a little bit less time around people who regularly use the word goon but who never talk about the mob.

in follow-up posts he talks about how he’s broadly in favour of job automation, but has doubts our current government would be able to do that without fucking everyone over, he specified that “if it were a 1950’s government and congress I’d be more hopeful”

…so instead of proposing a solution like “protest against this” or “vote people in power who actually are responsible” he jumps to “your daughter should give up her career and become a sex worker for AI company shareholders”

with the Epstein shitstorm still raging, I would not be saying a damn thing about young women being sex workers for rich and powerful dudes

Is this really Big Yud’s account ? Different nick than previous screenshots.

Edited the post after it came to my attention I got duped, I got had, I got bamboozled by a liar

before you order the cavalry charge, fwiw this skeet misrepresents the actual study topic rather badly, as another bluesky commenter notes.

I remember this paper from last summer, the authors put up a followup right when school started that distances it from the AI replacement theory: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/applicability-vs-job-displacement-further-notes-on-our-recent-research-on-ai-and-occupations/

I work a lot with the underlying data set they used, ONET is really carefully designed but easy to misinterpret; and also I wanted to mention that it is produced by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has been DOGE'd since then. Future research into jobs, AI or regular, will probably degrade as this continues.

CNC Tool Programmer is a good one and shows that Microsoft, a company that probably has paid for someone to run CNC tooling for prototyping AND supposedly makes software, didn't do the bare minimum to understand complexeties involved by talking to that someone.

Yeah, you can make mistakes with programming this thing, it'll happily destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars in tooling as well as potentially maiming or killing anyone standing too close while the machine is actually physically crashing. It will friction-weld your nice, expensive carbide cutting tool with cooling channels to your work piece (even if they are dissimler metals) by taking too big of a cut because it does exactly as it's instructed.

@V0ldek Mathematicians.

Tell me you have no idea what mathematicians do by publishing an absolute mockery of mathematics purporting to explain that mathematicians are likely to be replaced by LLMs.
