  • Similar here with almost all “social” jobs. Treated like shit but mostly from the inside. No money, super hard work with lots of risks but also super toxic work environments with psychopaths at the top and higher positions. At the same time the worker bees behave like hostages because if they protest or don’t work someone is going to die.

    I don’t work a social job but my sister does and I’ve heard a lot to come to this conclusion.




  • Take a look at LISP, Prolog and Erlang you’ll be able to answer the question yourself. Just a little tutorial for each of them. You’ll notice they have very different but fascinating ideas about how things could or should be done.

    Maybe after a while you’ll get thoughts like “I wish language A had this feature of language B” and that’s kind of how new languages appear. Because it’s often not possible to add such features or concepts to established “old” languages without breaking everything or losing backwards compatibility.







  • I’m not the guy but I guess it’s that it takes a bit of skill to tell it what kind of pizza you want and to verify it’s actually the right thing that you receive etc. So in this example the order should be pretty elaborate or there should be several panels where the waiter brings the wrong or not quite right pizza.

    While telling AI what you need is extremely easily in one regard (it’s natural language) it makes it often pretty difficult to be accurate at the same time. Also by the nature of LLMs the results are hard or impossible to predict.

    However, I think it’s a bit like printing something with a 3D printer and then saying “I made this”. The 3D printer actually made it but telling it what you want was the difficult part and at some point involved some 3D modelling or CAD or even g-code programming, tinkering with filament choices, speed and temperature settings, infill, support structures etc etc. While this is quite easy to do nowadays I remember the time where it was a big challenge to even get the damn filament to stick to the build surface. Another similarly is that it’s often not the right tool for a job. E.g. if you want the same object thousands of times or objects that have super fine structures or objects that have to withstand a lot of physical use / abuse or temperature.

    However, unlike with a 3D printer you’re pretty much guaranteed to get something when you use LLMs.
