@beffjezos This is exactly why AI will never fully replace humans imo. Humans need to decide which problems to solve or prioritize, which means you still need to understand how the world works.

@tszzl@romanhelmetguy Depends on whether you think consciousness is emergent or fundamental (Penrose et al, advaita etc). Emergence makes the idea of Claude being conscious defensible, and Dawkins is obviously in this camp. But neither model is provable/falsifiable, reducing much debate to just priors
They are paying this much for standout software engineers - who can generate better software, faster, using Claude Code vs “just” avg sw engineers (who do OK with it.)
AI amplifies existing ability, and the best in any indusrty (who learn to use these tools) are in more demand
@allgarbled@CliffordNash14 study the finer points of linear algebra, optimization theory, learn about the computational biology of the brain, hone your craft for years

@CNN I see no control group in the study. All massive buildings emit heat. How do we know whether LST changes around hyperscalers are worse than those around comparable-sized buildings?
@yajnadevam Copium in the replies but it's true. Bengalis refer to other Indians as "non Bengalis". A lot of Bengalis are still stuck in Bengali Renaissance era, even though Calcutta is a shithole now thanks to commies and socialists. That being said, Ray's remarks are still true
@IntractableLion One of the most mind-blowing things I learned in math is that you can create a CONTINUOUS surjection from the middle-thirds Cantor set (which has a Lebesgue measure of ZERO) to the unit square!
