that is basically a low dose hypertension drug lol and also coincidentally exactly how minoxicidil spray was discovered when they realized some hypertension drugs resulted in hair growth. seems like it reached a full circle.
It is hard to imagine CS becoming completely obselete. First of all, AI, even under the assumption that it will take hold everywhere in future, still is in its infancy.
It might require a complete paradigm shift to become AGI.
A non-desirable situation is that many jobs in industry will transform into AI code supervision (it might be that this business vision completely fails and slowly disappears too since lowering your dev numbers will create bottle necks which AI can not solve unless it is AGI). If this business model sticks however, you should know checking code all the time without writing any could be quite a soul destroying process. This could turn into a situation where you only do your job to earn money and really code on the side for your personal projects (which was the case for many software devs before the AI but likely more so in this context).
If AI does not turn into AGI, I suspect it will still remain as a tool. Companies who fired junior devs in favour of AI hoping they can one day completely go dev free will likely suffer from experience gaps and try to refill their ranks. I suppose like with everything software jobs will suffer from enshitification too with CEOs favouring quantitative output metrics over qualitative ones. Overall I am not sure if it is a bleak future for just CS or for everything so my vote would be do what is your passion but be ready to be flexible with what you do with it.
If AI turns into AGI and tech oligarchs own it, even with ethical problems aside, it will be more than just CS that suffers from it.
"as the company’s CEO recently told investors, has amassed “one of the largest mental health data banks in the world,”"
If he is saying this, he is basically pointing out that he is ready to sell this data to the highest bidder under some guise of "we ensure that we respect our clients' privacies and identities will be kept anonymous but the fine print allows us to do this blah blah" bullshit. If that ever happens he and the owner of the company should be jailed no matter what contracts they had people sign.
If you are going to give an LLM a free pass to your whole prod database least you should do is to take weekly (or daily if plausible) offline backups of it. A hard limit against deleting stuff would be better.
This is just the Bayesian approach; overall men have high enough tendancy for aggression and sexual assault that from a risk analysis point it makes sense to be on your guard until you get to know that person better. Of course media has a bias for presenting the awful stuff that happens in the world, one would rarely get coverage of a heart warming relationship between two people involving atleast one man. So these priors despite being in the correct direction might be biased too.
But I think, neither the shark anology or the expression "all man are dangerous" is useful for getting this point across though.
If it is your own company then sure do whatever the fuck you feel like with your life (at the expense of your kids growing up emotionally deprived). Don't expect others to the same for your fucking company unless you are sharing the profits you turd for brains and take your diarrhea of ideas elsewhere.
I mean I wouldn't say many, especially when you compare to totality of Italian cheese variety and what is generally exported outside Italy. Grana, Pecorino and Parmigiano would be the main ones.
species in need or Charlie Kirk?
