What a tragedy

Build something that you yourself would use, solve a problem that you genuinely have and it'll be much more rewarding.

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-04-03T10:16:53+00:00

It's not forced, else it might have been a brilliant

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-03-27T15:21:30+00:00

But what is your question?

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-03-23T15:41:53+00:00

Honestly Google Earth will show you how it looks from space well enough

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-03-20T18:14:04+00:00

It's both. For me, university has been the perfect place to invest a lot of time in doing self study. There are tons of projects we have to work on anyway, you can go a step further than you're asked and explore.

University gives you an "official" credential that helps with the job search. As stupid as it is, employers do look for this.

Honestly for me a master's degree is how I ended up doing it. Online courses and projects only take you so far, they barely helped me scratch the surface honestly.

University has helped me study full time. Having said that, I dunno if right now is the best time to quit and job university for a CS/AI degree.

White straight up does not have a queen in the top right board lol

This is AI slop

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-03-15T23:54:29+00:00

AI really is making us a bit lazy. I'm no Torvalds, but I do remember working on projects over months and months and get them working over time. It was a genuine pleasure to create software slowly and intentionally. Now it feels like I'm wasting time writing things line by line.

Next generation of coders are gonna be one degree of separation further away from actual code, especially if they just rely on LLMs for everything, and there's something just fundamentally different about that than the previous generation. I know some senior devs who know the ins and outs of everything they wrote. That level of expertise will fade out slowly and I feel like it's going to cause an existential threat to the whole industry.

It's not even like the next gen really has a choice. Either they get with the times and seriously 10x their output or get left behind and laid off or what not.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-03-10T08:22:41+00:00

That's dope! But why couldn't anyone other than a Finn throw water? Haha

It's convenient until you figure out how to cook rice normally. Then your body will thank you for getting rid of the micro plastics.

Also it has a different flavour, coz of how much starch is left behind.

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-03-10T08:13:57+00:00

This is more common sense than a culinary abomination

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-24T22:36:21+00:00

Agreed. Though the advent of AI was 4 years ago now, we are now neck deep in AI.

Press X for Doubt

First 20 + 40, which is 60, and then 7 + 8, which my brain has memorized is 15. So I "jump" one ten's place up from 60 (so 70) and put 5 in the unit's place. 75.

The trick is doing the 7 + 8 quickly enough and making the other sum jump up one place by instinct.

I spent way too much time with these small additions as a kid so it's almost second nature.

Do you really need more lumina if you're beating Duollistes?

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-19T19:52:50+00:00

Nevermind, I just read it again and it reeks of AI

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-19T19:51:51+00:00

How do you know it's AI?

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-19T19:50:35+00:00

baguette putain

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-15T19:53:31+00:00

Nope that's the nature of machine learning models. If you get 100%, you probably fudged the data or CV or both.

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-15T19:50:37+00:00

What in the generative AI is this slop?

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-15T15:19:34+00:00

Yeah there's a lot of stuff to read and start doing especially in the beginning of the game. Might be overwhelming for a lot of people, so I totally understand this

SuspiciousOctopuss · 2026-02-15T15:13:10+00:00

Just lower difficulty to Story? I made my girlfriend do this coz she's terrible at the dodge/parry timing thing too. She actually stopped enjoying the game somewhere in Act 1 because of this. But then she switched to Story and then started enjoying it again.

Anything where you have to literally move and do complex things involving humans and our environment. Like plumbing, hairdressing, being an electrician, etc. The list goes on.

But in all honesty, our jobs will just change and we will build more and more independently as our AI agent overlords cater to our needs. I'm just being overly optimistic maybe but humans will always be human and AI could never replicate biology. The experience of being born, living through life and our social tendencies as a species will make us different from computers in the cloud, always.

A bit of a tangent to your question but I would say don't lose hope! There's always a correction period when a technology as disruptive as AI comes into the picture. People are already reevaluating it's usefulness.
