You can change many things around you, but you can't easily change other people 🤔

Дивуюсь здібностям дітей - щойно бачив як маленький хлопчик грався фігуркою супермена - це він був тим суперменом який літав і рятував усіх навколо 😲😃

Never underestimate the power of being able to stay focused on something for an extended period of time.

Some of the best most technically smart programmers I've ever met are the least productive because they have no focus and bounce from idea to idea.

I'm in the top 2% of users on StackOverflow. My content there has been viewed by over 1.7M people. And it's unlikely I'll ever write anything there again.

Which may be a much bigger problem than it seems. Because it may be the canary in the mine of our collective knowledge.

A canary that signals a change in the airflow of knowledge: from human-human via machine, to human-machine only. Don’t pass human, don’t collect 200 virtual internet points along the way.

StackOverflow is *the* repository for programming Q&A. It has 100M users & saves man-years of time & wig-factories-worth of grey hair every single day.

It is driven by people like me who ask questions that other developers answer. Or vice-versa. Over 10 years I've asked 217 questions & answered 77. Those questions have been read by millions of developers & had tens of millions of views.

But since GPT4 it looks less & less likely any of that will happen; at least for me. Which will be bad for StackOverflow. But if I'm representative of other knowledge-workers then it presents a larger & more alarming problem for us as humans.

What happens when we stop pooling our knowledge with each other & instead pour it straight into The Machine? Where will our libraries be? How can we avoid total dependency on The Machine? What content do we even feed the next version of The Machine to train on?

When it comes time to train GPTx it risks drinking from a dry riverbed. Because programmers won't be asking many questions on StackOverflow. GPT4 will have answered them in private. So while GPT4 was trained on all of the questions asked before 2021 what will GPT6 train on?

This raises a more profound question. If this pattern replicates elsewhere & the direction of our collective knowledge alters from outward to humanity to inward into the machine then we are dependent on it in a way that supercedes all of our prior machine-dependencies.

Whether or not it "wants" to take over, the change in the nature of where information goes will mean that it takes over by default.

Like a fast-growing Covid variant, AI will become the dominant source of knowledge simply by virtue of growth. If we take the example of StackOverflow, that pool of human knowledge that used to belong to us - may be reduced down to a mere weighting inside the transformer.

Or, perhaps even more alarmingly, if we trust that the current GPT doesn't learn from its inputs, it may be lost altogether. Because if it doesn't remember what we talk about & we don't share it then where does the knowledge even go?

We already have an irreversible dependency on machines to store our knowledge. But at least we control it. We can extract it, duplicate it, go & store it in a vault in the Arctic (as Github has done).

So what happens next? I don't know, I only have questions.

None of which you'll find on StackOverflow.

Я думав що придумати щось нове в апаратах УЗД вже недоцільно… до сьогодні

What a beautiful day!

Just took a lovely stroll with @SPolischook around #Barcelona and snapped this amazing photo with the iconic Torre Glories in the background! ☀️🌇 #cityoflove #sunnydays #travelphotography

@gunjanloheria @elonmusk @rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX you can just as easily blame a rape victim for dressing too revealingly.
there will be many people willing to pay for Starlink for Ukraine

What’s happening?

[Serhii Polishchuk @SPolischook]

@lsmith @devwithlando i guess it server side issue? can you try different server containers?

[Serhii Polishchuk @SPolischook]

@lsmith Estonia has good conditions for minimize taxes. Westernbid can help you get money from popular marketplaces through paypal. Payoneer is another common option to have an euro account.

Me: "Delete this file."
Windows: "Someone is using it."
Me: "Who?"
Windows: "I can't say."
Me: "I checked using a utility. It says your file explorer is the one using it!"
Windows: "Well, I had to show a preview."
Me: "Why?"
Windows: "Because you selected the file to delete it!"
