"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Unless you’re in college for STEM, every degree is just a piece of paper with very little educational value behind it. You start learning after the degree, once you get the job that you need the degree to get.
Even then
Even STEM bachelor's degrees can be a little iffy. I finished my undergrad and felt like what I truly learned was how little I knew.
The thing about a college education is that you absorb a lot of information that you don't really think about.
I'm no smarter than I was in high school, but I know a fuckton more. I just can't itemize what it is I've learned.
