Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Reminds me of the story of the old engineer asked to come in and fix some machine in a factory.

The engineer inspects the machine, marks it with some chalk, then strikes the chalk mark with a hammer.
The machine works again.
The company asks for an itemised invoice after seeing the initial invoice for $10k.
To which they received:

hitting chalk mark with hammer: $1.

knowing where to place the chalk mark: $9,999

GPT suffers from garbage-in garbage-out just as much as a search engine does.
Knowing how to find search results to fix your specific situation is a skill.
Utilising GPT for such a task is equally a skill. With the added bonus of GPT randomly pulling the perfect API/Library out of its ass

on a slight tangent, I often think about this piece of writing. in general, but I've also started wondering what that picture's going to look like after the tsunami of LLMs suddenly finds it's actually made of air and not water
