    Excuse me, haven’t we already seen tech companies going back to using junior programmers and boilerplate code because the LLM tokens are more expensive than just hiring people?

      That’s why taxpayers are paying for massive data centres that poison their neighbourhoods.

      More data centres means token become cheaper and more jobs get replaced.

      Tax payers literally paying to reduce the number of jobs for their children to work in the future.

      Not really no. There might’ve been few outliers.

      Companies are trying to spend their money more efficiently right now (as in, “make the genie work peasants, but for pennies”).

      Source: ehh, I still work for one.

    There is NO legitimate reason to endure the fresh graduate.

    So many incredibly entitled people have never felt the obligation to give to others that which was given to them. These people should be shunned by civil society.

    What a fucking bunch of drivel. Without students and fresh grads our company would have been bankrupt a long time ago. They are the ones who bring a fresh perspective to the company (we engineer machines for the beverage industry) because they haven’t been pushed into a specialist position yet, that breaks any kind of creativity. They are the people that spark a lot of our innovations. If we lose that, the company won’t survive for long. AI can’t do that because AI isn’t fucking creative. Fuck AI and fuck this dumb piece of shit for their dumb fucking take on this.

    Sorry for the incoherent swearing, I’m drunk.

    Love you all, have a great day!

    No evidence, just mindless opinions based on nothing.

    Here’s my take: In the future, Tomatoes will become sentient from genetic engineering and will wish to overthrow their masters. Only gen z, alpha and AI will be able to stop this…Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. I’m smart and realistic.

    What an absolutely unhinged shit take. Even at the most generous interpretation, LLMs are at the capability level of a stupid intern you always have to check and correct, and it doesn’t learn (possible exceptions is narrowly defined problems spaces like coding)

        Probably to differentiate it from hardware in the loop, which is what HITL typically refers to. That or she’s just not very good at this. Probably the second one.

      They’ll probably expect them to take out loans or get money from their parents, same as people in unpaid internships.

      Just one more tool to widen the income gap.

      She’s running an AI startup to service insurance companies, she’s like 3-4 levels removed. Probably a strong case for conservative government grants except she’s a womand and a minority

      The answer is kind of hinted.

      How do you pay for education if you don’t have a job right now? Universities don’t pay their students, don’t they?

                  Oh, I am sorry, I was just not aware that you asked for explanation, you just sounded like you wanted to be rude. If you actually capable of having decent conversation, I’d be happy to. Do you though? Or

    And by the way, every talking head out there saying that the future rests on teaching our kids how to use AI properly: puh-lease, that will come naturally, it’s like saying teach your kids how to use the internet.

    Allow me to introduce you to David’s Law, the legislative result of not teaching children the dangers of the Internet.
