Here are some famously simple business ideas that became incredibly profitable: Pet Rock (1975) – Gary… Read More »
With everyone writing about AI and arguing about whether it will take over our jobs or not, I can personally attest that it definitely will take over some of those, or, at least, some of the activities. We probably can’t answer some questions right now, since it’s not too clear how is software development going… Read More »
I’m definitely new to a lot of things on the AI side. Luckily, that’s understandable given that AI itself is relatively new. However, I tend to learn things through personal experiences, which means I can read about something, but it does not necessarily stick. It works much better when I spend some time trying things… Read More »
I think whoever came up with the term “prompt engineering” may have misunderstood what “engineering” is 😊 Alternatively, they might have honestly hoped the art of composing those AI prompts would turn into the actual engineering; but, I think, so far it has not happened, and it’s probably unlikely to happen. Just look at how… Read More »
I know the title of this post may sound like what a conspiracy theorist would have said. However, even if we are being driven to extinction through the use of AI, I don’t think it’s being done intentionally. That makes it anything but conspiracy. The world around us is largely ignorant of our desire for… Read More »
A few years ago (was it really “a few” or just 1 or 2? It does not count as “a few”, right?), when I first saw how AI tools were able to generate code, to produce very reasonable answers, and to manifest other signs of “intelligence”, my first reaction was “oh, crap, the end is… Read More »
I was trying to imagine how would “AI” adoption go, and, it seems, there is only one possible outcome in the long term. “AI” is there to either compliment human workers or to replace them, but, ultimately, it’s there to increase productivity in those areas where it can be adopted. In a very limited number… Read More »
This is a co-pilot version of my recent post, and it’s been generated based on the very simple prompt, and based on, perhaps, not so far-fetched idea that the way we deal with the information is going to really… really… change. Large language models can turn a very factual post into anything we want, so,… Read More »
With Microsoft pushing co-pilots everywhere, with windows co-pilot refusing to talk about whether it represents any danger to humanity, it seems at least personally I need some rule of thumb to follow when talking about co-pilots specifically and AI in general, and, more exactly, about whether we still need experts or if we can just… Read More »
First, there were people talking to each other. It was hard to pass knowledge around other than from one person to another directly. Then, there was writing. One person would write something, and others would read it. Those other ones would not necessarily need to explain everything that’s already been written to someone else, they’d… Read More »
