  • For as long as it is an LLM I will not call it intelligence for it does not think. It’s an approximation or an estimate at best. While capable this is a major hurdle these companies will face to replace skilled workers. We are a generation at least and a ways off from general intelligence, and not algorithmic output for a given input (idempotency).

    I do however agree that we would remain informed about the ever changing world around us; this however, is until reviewed by an unbiased third party in masse a marketing document. I will be taking it with a grain of salt, but will take it as an improvement over the prior versions.

    Now with that out of the way… interesting. I will be watching this progress, but am far less optimistic in this being as capable as they are suggesting. It’s more than likely another Mythos hype attempt that is not revolutionary, but a nice addition to existing systems or augments to staff. Now if we assume its 100% as capable as this suggests then we are in for a ride.









  • It’s not like the CS program is devoid of programming, norb would I say the SWE students are that much better off without outside education. CS is about half theory half practical for core education at least. The difference is you learn why and how which is more beneficial long term. After the first 6 months on the job the difference between the two on programming ability should be about the same with some more optimal solutions found by the CS student if any difference. It’s a pretty short term problem.


  • Honestly ratings from reviews should just be “would you recommended reading this book y/n?” at least until people learn how to write reviews subjectively and about the actual content not something unrelated such as shipping issues. We all vote far too inconsistently as a whole for more granular ratings to mean a damn thing might as well reduce that down.

    I do like your point, but do believe we need far more criteria to make sense of these reviews. Yes we should remove the fluff reviews of users who wouldn’t have liked the genre to begin with, but why stop there? There’s so many variables that need to be considered where typical genre is one, but what about a person’s intellect? If they disliked a book because they simply could not understand it from any angle would that apply to myself or any one of us? How would someone convey that in a review? How likely are these individuals to be that self aware? We can move to other areas too like political affiliation, one’s culture, ones preferences in life in general or their experiences. The list goes on. While I do think removing the low hanging fruit such as “I hate romance but I read this because of a book club and yep I hated it” or review bombs or whatever else that isn’t actually an issue with the book itself. Determining this sentiment without a significant amount of false positives would be rather difficult, and at what point do we consider a person to be a fan enough of a genre? What about new people to resding or a new account?



  • Privilege blinds you to reality. If you’ve never faced systematic abuse, been hunted by your skin color for your membership to a belief, hanging in fear to leave your home, getting stopped or shot by police with zero cause. You’re never going to get it.

    Living under constant terror isn’t something you can understand unless you’ve felt it. And words? They matter, sure, but sometimes they’re just the warning before whatever comes next.
