Often enough they can't even do the history of their own discipline...

I am in fact taller. 6'7. Still not a baller. Not all it's cracked up to be, mostly cracking my head on things.

Wise.

I am very tired of objections to genAI slop like "this is soulless garbage and I don't want it ever" being met with "We hear you! 🧑‍💼 We can make a better more believable AI presenter. ✍️A less uncanny article. 📖A really undetectable AI voice reading a book to you. 📒We are ✨working✨ on your feedback!"

It may not look like it, but there remains a smidgen of accountability for them. In public, at least. But I advise against relying on that being the case when there are no cameras or witnesses.

It does require an opponent that has either a conscience or accountability to work.

I'm cis, straight and a man, so about the only thing I have in common with the target audience as described here is that I think women are really neat.

And I fucking loved it.

Schedule time regularly for maintenance of your equipment, or your equipment will schedule the time for you.

Equipment includes, but is not limited to, your muscles, bones, skin, sinews, brain, digestive system...

Apropos of nothing: It is vitally important to always have a person in your life that will not hesitate to, honestly and kindly, tell you when you are completely full of shit.

Power levels, I think? You fawn at someone who has power over you. You befriend an equal.

The thing about posting glowing praise of LLM's is that everyone now knows you suck. It's like driving a cybertruck, it conveys the same thing.

"This guy's gonna end up on the evening news after annihilating his family or following a pizza recipe that asks for pool cleaner or something"

I honestly feel like LLMs and the research and use thereof should be handled similarly to nuclear technology. Restrictions on allowable use, requirement of certification and oversight, etc.

Because your impostor syndrome needs to shut up and let you do cool shit like this. Challenging yourself is how you grow, and here you showed growth. Take the W, and keep going after things that look out of reach! 💪
