By default AI doesn't bake in all considerations. By nature of how it works it behaves like a human, i. e. making similar mistakes and oversights... I feel like this could somewhat ironically be shown with exactly this task. Let's let it make button and see how many ways it gets it wrong.
I didn't fully understand the author there. Was their point that the activity of "axe throwing" is silly or that it is silly to do that on a first date?
Personally I've never done axe throwing but I think it probably doesn't matter at all what activity is being done on a first date, as long as it helps break the ice. Also... it is the real world. Those people are probably subjectively speaking much closer to experiencing the real world than George Hotz, it's just not a world he necessarily wants to accept.
What is interesting about it for me is: why would someone working on AI ethics choose to work for Google at all?
Did she really think Google cares about ethics? Such positions seem purely performative, we all know that ethics go out the window first to make room for more profits.
I feel like not choosing WordPress was a great choice but I'm not sure about the rest of the comment. A simple html file might make for a good landing page though.
They're pushing hard for a unified platform. For WhatsApps new username feature one can only choose from usernames not already used on instagram or facebook.
I can imagine that but I don't have those issues with the default config. So it allows using docker compose with podman directly.
On the other hand I could see it being hard for people to only install the cli part of docker. Luckily on arch that was simple due to how it's packaged.
As a student, I have no issue doing oral exams or written exams without notes. I mean I'm there to learn and out of curiosity so I like that challenge...
I truly don't understand how people can sign up for a degree and then have to cheat? Must feel torturous to endure a class you're not even interested in.
When I was a student (and a student TA), what I heard or saw was that students were in CS for money, or their parents forced them to study it. Both of these things created some sort of extrinsic motivation that leads to cheating. In some cases (eg. in my high school) I heard parents would threaten to beat their children if they did not do well in their classes. So maybe that pressure continues in college. And for some, they just want an easy 6 figure job and are willing to take shortcuts. Students I know (some honest, some not) have mentioned they cheat on CS interviews or lie on their resume.
Additionally, I heard that multitides of parents would threaten to withhold tuition if their child failed a class. since the university is not well off, they acquiesce and make classes easier for students who aren't interested.
For many people and in many places, having a degree is a differentiator that increases someone's chance of being able to earn money. Not everyone is studying because they're interested, but rather because if they don't, their opportunities will be reduced, possibly significantly.
I wonder if messages like "there's no such thing as gifted children"[1], create a situation where if a student struggles to keep up with their peers, they might conclude that their peers have unfair advantages.
Whenever I let these tools look at existing repos they are too influenced by what's already there.
I could even say "feel free to completely refactor or rewrite anything" and they'll still just do small performative changes.
I've now changed my workflow to only using AI for prototyping and rewriting by hand once I can see something is viable. Takes longer but the results are always much better.
Well... again, I'm giving the LLM total freedom to destroy what's there and start from scratch. That could nudge it to structure the code base more like that.
It would be totally different if I told that to a junior developer.
But imo LLMs don't really structure code well or as well as humans could.

Why would you use it like that as a default?
Like the first thing you should do when talking to an LLM about a project is to have it discuss exit criteria, scoping, rules, and managing the smallest thing to ship to get iteration started
