Prompting is obviously a skill that you can improve, but if you compare it with the skills they are trying to replace it's a very basic skill. Going through a computer science program and a few years of work experience vs figuring out what prompts it tends to fuck up and learn to safe guard against that (as much as you can) are different leagues, different sports, different everything.

It's like saying that if you don't start using lemmy now, you'll fall behind when the year off the fediverse is upon us, when you'll just pick it up as well if need be.

As an individual, his LLM carbon footprint and money used to purchase AI services aren't going to matter at all. But him being one of the world's highest profiled software engineers who's openly using these tools is very good publicity for them.

I think the anti ai crowd has been focusing on the slop angle too much, the horrible malpractice of these companies is the real problem imo. If it really is only slop it will die out by itself.

An ally gladly cooks vegan, endorses restaurants with good alternatives, eat vegan cuisine.

Everyone has different struggles and priorities. Some people fly, some drive a car, some use LLMs etc. Doesn't mean they're evil. For me being vegan is really really easy, and I know that's not the case for everyone. But I know a lot of people who eat very little dairy and meat because they believe in the cause.

Strictly anecdotal but everyone I know, from leftist to liberal, are positive to others being vegan. They just don't do it themselves.

Homo sapiens sapiens have not existed for millions of years, more like 160-230 thousand years.

We have never in our history eaten nearly as much meat as the average American is today.

"Alternatives" to meat are mostly vegetables, beans, lentils, seeds and grains who all are vastly superior from an environmental position than meat. Bio engineered vegan meat doesn't really exist in stores. If you mean meat substitutes like vegan burgers they're all very different. Some are healthy and environmentally sound, and some are slop. Meat is always worse from an environmental perspective however.

The way we produce the majority of meat today is really unethical. Being vegan is a way to not partake.

It's also not all or nothing. I think anyone who cuts down meat to any extent is doing something good.

At the end of the day, you have to figure out what makes sense to you. For me veganism is an easy choice but I love and respect many people who prioritize other things. Just like I do things that everyone else doesn't agree with.

It's always good to ask questions, so keep that up!

I loved ICQ! I'm sure some people thought it was a horrible idea to see people type in real time but to me it was peak messenging.

My 10 year old had started beating me at Chess, been practicing on Duolingo. It feels weird but this was the end goal, right? Having them surpass you and all. But yeah didn't expect it to happen already.

Honestly, being played with by Marks kids probably increased their value more than original packaging.
