Movie reviews: thoughts about introspection, bias and habits:

For no particular reason, I woke up fully refreshed (after sleeping so soundly I missed my alarm and was 30 minutes late for everything.)

It's the first time I haven't felt TIRED in... I don't know how long. I forgot what that felt like. I forgot to MISS what that felt like.

Seems like every digital product I use now has a crappy "make an AI to do something useless" button in it

[MrHen @MrHen]

It was still uncalled for.

Excuse me what the hell is this?! You don't know! Maybe I WILL like it out of pure spite! 😤

Here is Bing's flagrantly misleading description of what it does. But people don't understand the words used and assume they justifies the incorrect information. It doesn't.

Bing knows their AI is frequently wrong. They still put the non-information next to search results.

[MrHen @MrHen]

Bing consistently summarizes incorrect movie quotes ahead of search results. It's infuriating that platforms today knowingly provide incorrect information via half-baked algorithms and models.

[MrHen @MrHen]

The worst part in the screenshot I've included is it mimicking the concept of sourcing a claim. Neither of the quoted sources suggest that Trinity says that specific quote. Not only is their summation algorithm / model incorrect -- it's lying about being able to source the claim.

Who set the goals of the race I am running? I'm not really sure but it doesn't feel like they are my goals anymore.

I can always tell how terrible my day is going by how early I start thinking about what I'm going to eat for lunch

Over April and May I also wrote 10 diary entries. So if you want more thoughts on any of the following you can find them here: https://t.co/lG7VdchCd2

Definitely slowed down my movie watching for April (18 watches) and May (12 watches).

9) Will AI ever do the non-coding stuff that programmers do? Maybe. In my opinion, it isn't close to that kind of function yet. People are conflating coding with programming.

[MrHen @MrHen]

I've been pondering the impact of using AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot for assisted programming. There are claims that AI will replace programmers like me.

Here are my thoughts.🧵

TLDR: AI tools will quickly highlight the differences between easy and hard programming tasks.

[MrHen @MrHen]

8) So what does that mean for programming jobs? Programming jobs will become even less about coding than they already are. AI tooling will continue to get better a coding. It will continue to chip away at the boring, rote stuff.
