I understand and agree.

I have found that AI is super useful when I am already an expert in what it is about to produce. In a way it just saves key strokes.

But when I use it for specifics I am not an expert in, I invariably lose time. For instance, I needed to write an implementation of some audio classes to use CoreAudio on Mac. I thought I could use AI to fill in some code, which, if I knew exactly what calls to make, would be obvious. Unfortunately the AI didn't know either, but gave solutions upon solutions that "looked" like they would work. In the end, I had to tear out the AI code, and just spend the 4-5 hours searching for the exact documentation I needed, with a real functional relevant example.

Another example is coding up some matrix multiplications + other stuff using both the Apple Accelerate and the Cuda cublas. I thought to myself, "well- I have to cope with the change in row vs column ordering of data, and that's gonna be super annoying to figure out, and I'm sure 10000 researchers have already used AI to figure this out, so maybe I can use that." Every solution was wrong. Strangely wrong. Eventually I just did it myself- spent the time. And then I started querying different LLMs via the ChatArena, to see whether or not I was just posing the question wrong or something. All of the answers were incorrect.

And it was a whole day lost. It did take me 4 hours to just go through everything and make sure everything was right and fix things with testers, etc, but after spending a whole day in this psychedelic rabbit hole, where nothing worked, but everything seemed like it should, it was really tough to take.

So..

In the future, I just have to remember, that if I'm not an expert I have to look at real documentation. And that the AI is really an amazing "confidence man." It inspires confidence no matter whether it is telling the truth or lying.

So yeah, do all the assignments by yourself. Then after you are done, have testers working, everything is awesome, spend time in different AIs and see what it would have written. If it is web stuff, it probably will get it right, but if it's something more detailed, as of now, it will probably get it wrong.

Edited some grammar and words.

Holy cow. I didn't think people spent money on orchestras anymore. That's like maybe 40 pieces. If recording was over 6 hours, that would be what around 25K.. Plus studio space plus recording equipment and engineers, microphones, admin, maybe 50K. I guess it's not as much as I thought. Huh, I wonder what the budget was.

Huh, interesting. I wonder how many anime use live orchestras. I read many many years ago, that video games were using eastern european orchestras, but that even those had become too expensive. I guess I really have no idea.

I'm suspicious that sociopaths are a parasitic subspecies. Like there are these alien creatures that look entirely human walking around among us. They look like us, talk like us, but think that the general human species is inferior to their own.

What if they could identify other sociopaths, and were working in concert. Hmm, this is ridiculous.

Anyway, yeah. I don't think Clinton is capable of that level of introspection.

The fact that Clinton endorsed Cuomo is the cherry on top.

t wasn’t really a good run. Wages didn’t keep up with inflation. Even though wages are higher, the buying power with those wages is less.

Generally averages, in my opinion, are not a good measure.

Here is the median:

Edit: Maybe this is even better:

That interviewer is such a push over. Jeeze, who are these people! If you know the image is photo shopped, you say, "No, you are wrong, the image was photo shopped," not, "well it is contested, we'll look into that."

Such a disappointment.

I second that. How about we tax Bezos and Musk et al. into "just" millionaire status and then fucking have parties without these Bezo-trucks.

Somehow this made it worse. “goddamn Alpha energy” - who are these people. All I want is for the dems to not be rich people faking concern for the poor.

Maybe that could be a plus. Make a large death tax. People die off in your state, and fund the next set of people coming and and more?

Yeah! Something like this. But with other states involved to reduce risk, normalize costs.

Obama won in a landslide. The democrats owned both houses.

People at the time really thought Obama would be on the the side of the people- not the rich. I mean, come on, he was our first black president; you would have thought he would at least be on the side of the blacks.

If he had been, then Bernie wouldn't have been such a sensation. If he had been, and Hillary was like, "Obama and the DNC has anointed me his successor, and I will continue to do all the great things he has done," Bernie wouldn't have existed. Bernie was the message that Obama had actually failed. Flint was real.

Anyway. If Trump has one Lieberman senator stopping him from getting some signature item, you can bet that their meeting isn't going to end with that signature item being scuttled, it's going to be that Lieberman would be afraid he'll lose everything.

Trump is extreme, but Obama could have made the final push. Same with our black torture rendition site.

For me, seeing Obama is cringe. I wonder if that viewpoint is radical. I mean, Obama is a saint when compared to Trump, but...

Perhaps I am unjustified.

Yeah.

I also think he could have closed Guantanamo.

And I even think he could have bailed out the people that lost their houses and not the people that owned (banks, through predatory loans) the houses.

I still think he should have nationalized the banks that failed and renamed them to "Bank A" and "Bank B." But no, no consequences for the rich under Obama just like everyone else.

Crazy huh.
