This was so powerful it causes me phantom pain through this post
Edit: a bit of context: when I discovered LLMs the first time the first thing I did was try to play DnD with it. But that only lasted for 20 prompts. Can imagine what it is like with a paid subscription or a local model.
Lol, Love it! I like how you put the concerned face on a grainy cyberworldish background.
Waiting for the day when AI will have an argument with a human whether the human is a bot
Is the title a pun? He just-is? I will only accept an Oglaf panel answers
Edit:
Sadly yes it's not European :( Thanks for commenting though! Maybe someone American bumps to this thread and finds a new place to shop!
Better than my last one! Lol. And yes the amount of freedom I have to solve the problems is quite nice!
Glad I could give something useful. And oh, then you are indeed in a good position to ask around! Who knows, maybe there is a job right around the corner lol. And yeah I would have assumed the same...
I've learned that yeah, and me too, especially since it's not what I studied and I can't really give any input on research methods - they are a research group in Spatial Data Science and I'm constantly learning new stuff that's not directly related to my work. I was hired to build and maintain software tools for their own research and help with code architecture of their own creations. I just love learning so perfect job for me!
It's a good profession to have! ;) and I wish I could give some solid tips, but this is my first job in the academics and I ended up here by accident. I do know something though: he should not settle for public job postings only. Universities consist of multiple research working groups and many of the working groups just wait until someone who knows software well enough rolls into their team or pay a company to do the job.
Before me for past 20 years they got software devs by either someone walking in and asking if they need a freelancer or if a PhD student had previous studies/experience in software. Apparently they had never posted this job online.
Recently I got another offer from a different working group at a different university, and only because one of their employees had worked with me a year before and knew me. There was np job posting for this position either.
Maybe your buddy already knows all of that about university working groups, but thought that this might be useful info. I work in Europe but academics seem to be the same no matter where lol.
And good luck with the fight against mosquitoes! Those assholes...
I guess their desktop market is towards businesses? No idea. Personally I'm also more interested in their laptops and indeed love building my own desktop as well.
Yess and all the contributors too!
Oh, need to look into the rebrand, thanks for the tip! And yeah noticed their price range is higher up. But glad to hear it was working well
I was playing with Bing AI (in reality it was ChatGPT) because I didn't want to give ChatGPT my phone number. This was early 2023 and I told Bing to be the DM and told it that the setting is in a small tavern and I was a bard.
All in all it was actually a lot of fun once I got it to actually descibe and play along with actually fun interactions with "NPCs". But haven't done that since. Probably even better now. I don't use LLMs much but I can imagine setting up one locally just to do this!
