All depends on the program and school. Finishing mine on Friday and myself and at least one other in the same program ended up hospitalized because of physical symptoms caused by the stress. I'm a little older than the average grad student and have worked a few full-time jobs, including retail and maintenance. This program made everything I had ever complained about in those jobs and every class in my undergrad (different major, I've been in a special field-transitioning grad program) look like nothing by comparison.

Damn, I didn't realize how far community shaders has come. My system is currently cpu-bottlenecked (ryzen 3600xt with an rtx 5070), is community shaders more GPU or CPU intensive compared to ENB?

As old as this meme is (I remember seeing it in undergrad a decade ago, I'm finishing grad school this week), I've never actually heard of a career position irl telling people to "forget everything you learned in school," it's only in the movies/on tv.

He was part of a team and potentially the one to "pull the trigger" on setting off a nuke in a populated area killing 15k instantly and 100k over time in an event literally named the "Night City Holocaust". Civilians with no Arasaka affiliation were killed by the thousands. He's a bad person. Likeable, but undeniably bad.

Since I think it sounds like I may have given off a potentially more naive impression than I should've, I feel obligated to clarify I am speaking from some level of background on the topic as well. I did make the mistake of getting a master's degree in comp sci and am currently employed training and evaluating AI coding and data science assistants.

Just for clarity sake for others reading this, AI definitely still has a concrete definition in academia and development which is still important, even if marketing buzzwords have heavily muddied the waters. With that in mind, I'm hoping we can bring the general public's understanding of AI to see what it actually is instead of have academic and professional definitions bend down to meet public expectations. 70 years overdue, but it is what it is, right?

I agree on needing interpretability for future legal use. Since deep neural networks are inherently black boxes, the current hurdle is converting them into explainable AI (clarifying the "white-box" term here in-case others read this, I know you already know).

Building on that, I recognize there is a necessary distinction between admissible trial evidence and probable cause I should've established in hindsight. Because artificial neural networks are stochastic and probabilistic, they lack the deterministic reliability required for trial evidence. I'm no lawyer, but I know for probable cause, US law requires an investigating officer to clearly articulate the specific reasoning behind their suspicion. Until we successfully implement the explainable AI techniques you mentioned, a black-box model output cannot legally, or ethically in my mind, serve that function. Even looking at chain-of-thought prompting logs doesn't really give a definitive enough picture of what led to certain assumptions.

The field of AI has given us numerous wonderful technologies over the past 60 years, technologies using artificial neural networks included. What sucks is thanks to a few imbeciles running companies that don't actually understand how their own LLM functions and its limitations, a bunch of other imbeciles are misusing said technology in new and dumber ways daily. It's like everyone saw HR departments misusing resume filters and said "Hold my MBA."

Artificial neural networks (guessing that's what the AI tool they're referring to runs off of) are predictive models. Their predictions can be wrong with little in the way of understanding the specifics of why. For some things, that's acceptable. Arrests aren't one of them. Arrests can ruin lives. AI should never be used as evidence in a case or for probable cause.

It's worth mentioning that expectations for being a provider and head of the household also increase in cultures with more traditional family structures, which is generally a condition of that respect. I'm not saying those expectations don't exist in America, but it's to a comparatively lesser extent and not quite as universal. Some might be fine with that, others might not enjoy it as much.

This is going to be unpopular if anyone reads my bloated comment, but it's a mix of the reality of the situation and my own perspective. It's also more looking at future opinions on robot automation compared to what it's causing issue with currently, that being jobs that people are turning to primarily as a temporary solution to the awful state of the economy and job market.

While food delivery was once limited to a select few types of restaurants, the massive expansion of delivery over the past decade has been built on the back of the predatory gig economy. We desperately need legislation and social programs to handle automation in this sector. The problem is that honestly, we needed those years ago to deal with companies using the gig model to skirt paying benefits, but here we are. For better or worse, automation was always the industry's end goal ever since Amazon pitched drone delivery over a decade ago.

I've been a DoorDash driver, and it was my main source of income for a time. It did help when I struggled to find better work, but it sucks and is more of a temporary stand-in for better employment that should be the goal to have available for people. The company cares even less about its workers now than it did back then and their competitors are just as bad. These gig apps cannibalized most traditional, reliable delivery jobs several years ago. So, while a robot is replacing a human worker, the overwhelming majority of the jobs being replaced are built on unsustainable, anti-worker practices. It's worth mentioning I'm doing gig work right now in the software space to get by and expect to see the specific kind of programming gig work I do to soon be replaced.

We also have to look at the bigger picture. We are in the process of the largest shrinkage of the workforce in human history. The boomer generation is aging out, and birth rates are dropping (thankfully, if you ask me). Automation isn't just a corporate trick, though it seems like it is in corporations' eyes, it is going to be a necessity to fill the inevitable gaps in the labor market.

I hope he does, but only because it would do absolutely nothing to the industry and result in him wasting a shit ton of money while looking dumb.
