@rubenerd@bsd.network @exchgr@mastodon.world yeah, I read all the studies and felt quite smug about AI, as well. And, then I actually built some stuff and found some bugs with help from current gen frontier models, and my priors were upended.
I'm not saying I like it, as it's going to cause a tremendous amount of disruption, and not in a good way, given who holds every leadership position in government and industry right now. But, I simply can't pretend it doesn't work, anymore, because I've seen it with my own eyes.

@rubenerd@bsd.network @exchgr@mastodon.world I was dragged into it by my employer, as I like having health insurance, but it works. Over the holidays I built a bunch of stuff (an absurd amount of stuff), more working code than I've ever written in such a short time in my life. I wanted a weather app without ads, so I built one in a couple of hours. https://wthr.lol/ (And, if you're curious about code quality, it's here: https://github.com/swelljoe/wthr.lol ) I've used it to find bugs in huge projects and build from scratch.
