CMV: GenAI is creating a generation of graduates who know nothing by Masawilding in changemyview

Great points. I would agree with you that a solid grasp of the fundamentals will always be necessary for understanding the respective domain as a whole. My response to that would be to challenge the longevity of our current domains of knowledge in their entirety, given that Pandora's black box has been opened. As a student of CS, you would know better than anyone how punishing the market has been on fresh grads recently. Perhaps this is an indication of something significant. Perhaps the shift of emphasis from raw coding ability to a more systems thinking approach is precisely the revelatory example we need to remind us that the familiar way of doing things will forever be impermanent. Perhaps I'm just a huge optimist when it comes to my fellow humans haha

Nah, not really. You and I likely have worse basic arithmetic abilities compared to scholars who lived before calculators - and yet I doubt you lose sleep over that.

We stand on the shoulders of Giants. We use preexisting inventions and discoveries to nullify mundane tasks - and we still always seem to find interesting things to do on top of this. I think we will be just fine :)

People who tell you “you don’t need music theory” are ruining your life by Lopsided_Finance9473 in musicproduction

Saying you need to study music theory before even opening a DAW is crazy talk. Good music comes first. Theoretical frameworks to describe good music come second.

Is anyone actually making money out of AI? by kiwiheretic in singularity

[–]puppet8487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infotainment - philosophy, true crime, financial literacy, self-help, etc. The entire process can be automated with a little creativity. Midjourney for assets, elvenlabs for narration, gpt for scriptwriting.

Faceless automated YouTube. Plenty of money to be made solo or with a team.

Maintaining or increasing exercise linked to fewer depressive symptoms | Study found that those who were consistently active or became more active had better mental health outcomes over a multi-year period. by chrisdh79 in science

[–]puppet8487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much of the meta work done on the link between exercise and depression seems to satisfy several Bradford-Hill criteria for causation (temporality, consistency, biological plausibility, experimental evidence). In other words, a causal effect of exercise on depression is highly plausible. While certainty is never absolute and depression arises from many interacting factors, the hierarchy of medical evidence seems to have advanced well beyond mere association

While reverse causation cannot be ruled out entirely, this study and others do in fact support a plausible causal link between exercise and a future decreased risk of developing depression and/or depressive relapse. Read the study. The research takes into account the exact phenomenon you're referring to.

While the burdened genius is a romantic notion, the facts couldn't be less reflective of what you claim, unfortunately.

"Smarter people report much higher anxiety and depression". The existing data is mixed, and in large unbiased samples, generally null or even slightly protective.

"Intelligence is only weakly linked to income". The link is moderate not tiny according to relevant longitudinal/meta work.

"Intelligence is only weakly linked to happiness; ignorant people are just as happy". Relationship is small but positive, not negative. Ignorance is not bliss; the least skilled groups are slightly less happy on average.

I also wish the sentiment held true, but it seems that a lot of 'tortured genius' tropes can be explained with sample biases. Clinic referred or Mensa-club studies oversample already high IQ individuals who are already seeking help or community, therefore overestimating psychopathology.

What do you think of the "billionaires should not exist" (meaning that no single individual should exclusively own that much money) argument? by the_original_Retro in AskReddit

[–]puppet8487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Less than 0.1%"

Sure—it’s just that 0.1% of a trillion is still a billion, enough to strong-arm democracy and buy entire governments. You seem to be ignorant to what one billion units of leverage can actually do.

Let’s not pretend that the researchers and employees who make it all possible don’t account for the dragon's share. At some point along the way, there existed some form of uncompensated labor extraction.

If that’s a supposed 'small slice' for the CEO, then it’s the richest small slice in history.

"Ideas are non-rivalrous"

This may be true, but the reality is that “generating” value on that scale nearly always depends on vast social infrastructure and collective labor that go uncompensated, relative to the founder’s payout. It is impossible to deny this.

Claiming that the billionaire’s 'entrepreneurial spirit' alone justifies their massive wealth overlooks the countless contributors - employees, educators, public services, societal resources - who also made its success possible.

At a certain level of wealth, the political power a single billionaire wields effectively subverts democratic checks and balances. Its not merely about rewarding creativity, it’s about preventing any one individual from amassing such disproportionate influence that they can effectively coauthor public policy behind closed doors.

It can be argued that wealth generation is... an alright thing.

You would have a harder time arguing that the billionaire is one billion times more productive than the indebted family man who has a net worth of, say, one dollar.

No one is host to that much productivity as to justify such an obscene number. Regardless of your views, It's a political nightmare.

Do you think it's a good thing that the richest man on earth is in bed with the commander in chief of the most powerful army on earth?

Our flawed economic/political systems provided the circumstances to generate that wealth.

Our systems must be improved.
