"I think going to university was a big mistake.
If you want to do big things, you need to go out into the wilderness, get humbled, and go through the lows before the highs.
I wasted some amount of time in my life doing it." @nico_laqua
How do you advise young people now on the value of university today vs going straight into startups/work @paulg @nejatian @balajis @fin465 @walden_yan

@juust @KaiXCreator This is the exact tweet I would have written if I was a fucking idiot

Europe let the AI Hype pass, consciously.
No point in overinvesting in first phase crude 'breakthrough' technology. Let the Hype pass, let the others give the investment push, and bear the cost in the armsrace, and once the wave breaks, and crashes, we step in.
All the newest technology in strings of bankrupt startups for sale, for a cent on a dollar.

@Wahlrecht_de Vertauscht man linke und BSW Umfrage werte passt es besser zum Baugefühl . Aber dann wären die Werte wegen der Bundestagswahl 25 nicht mehr plausibel.
Nicht wahr .
Seid über einem Jahr wartet das BSW auf die Nachzählung und Prüfung der Bundestagswahl.

Half of all Claude Code subscriptions could be completely wiped out in the next 6-12 months, predicts Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

Every month a new guy discovers LLMs; discovers a skill the current LLMs require to get good results; and writes about the future jobs that will always be available for smart people like HIM, that are SKILLED in using LLMs.
The next generation of AIs doesn't need his fancy prompt. The image model goes from needing to type in just the right set of weird words and cryptic sorcerous invocations, to most people being able to type in English what they want and get a pretty good result.
There are still tasks that require careful invocation. But they are a much smaller fraction of all the tasks people are trying to do, or you can get a bleh result without the elaborate invocation to get it really good. And to improve on the bleh result you need to be substantially more of an expert than back when the Guy was memorizing a rule about adding "trending on Artstation" to the image prompts, as would always require a human paid to do that.
Another generation of AIs comes out. The next generation of Clever Skills is obsolete. Image models just obey the instructions for compositing panels without mixing them up, and you don't need to be an expert to get them to do it right. Another human value-add is gone. A wider set of tasks require no human expert.
Now a new Guy notices LLMs have become useful in his field for the first time. He discovers they require SKILL to use CORRECTLY. He posts about how there will always be jobs for humans who are SKILLED in using LLMs like HIM.
But it is not an infinite cycle. It is not the same each time it repeats. Now the Guy is a highly paid programmer or a career mathematician in 2026, instead of a graphic artist in 2023.
In six months the models will no longer require his vaunted Skills.
And by then there will be another Guy.
But the process doesn't continue forever. The Guys are coming from fields that were harder and harder for AIs. The brief centaur eras are shorter and shorter.
Today it is writers who are laughing at how bad the LLMs are at their job, and who will perhaps soon be posting about how it takes Skill to get an LLM to do their job Correctly. But the models are coming faster, and the eras of kinds of human value-add in each field are shortening.
There is a point when you run out of Guys, either because the centaur eras are too short for people to develop SKILLs and post to Twitter about them; or because there are not lands left for AIs to conquer; or because ordinary people are not reassured by some Nobel laureate proclaiming there will always be jobs for Nobel laureates with the SKILLS to prompt robotized biology labs Correctly.
But we'll never run out of amateur economists who assert entirely *without* a brief contemporary example that there will always be jobs for humans skilled at operating AIs!
We'll run out of professional economists saying it when nobody is paid for that work anymore.
I guess we'll also run out of amateur economists when they're dead.

@FlorianGallwitz Alles, was man mittlerweile selber macht, ist eine Entscheidung für ein schlechteres Ergebnis in längerer Zeit

ChatGPT kann ja meine Übungsaufgaben für Rechnerübungen in höheren Semestern ja mit ein paar Prompts schon länger ordentlich lösen. Aber wenn man Codex einfach nur das Übungsblatt gibt, wie der sich passende Beispielbilder aus dem Netz sucht, Sachen implementiert, auswertet, unzufrieden ist, noch einmal geeignetere Bilder sucht und am Ende eine perfekte Lösung und grafische Auswertung abliefert, ist schon noch einmal eine andere Nummer. In weniger als 10 Minuten hat man eine bessere Lösung, als je ein Student sie in 90 Minuten hinbekommen hat.

@brainnoworko amazing 😂 my bad
I downloaded both images (from here and wiki) and compared the two.
Is it just me or is the version here washed/brighter? Like the ISO was turned up?

I'm disappointed I have to even point it out. There is no cohesion to the depth and color choices. The reflection of the tree bleeds into the lilypads with no regard for spatial depth or contrast. The background lilypad-algae amalgam is egregiously vague, like most AI art.

i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

$500b wiped out because of a single tweet?
Private market valuations of Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXai crashed yesterday...let's talk about why.

OPINION: Ever since private equity bought the @Veritasium YouTube channel, the content just hasn't been as good. Used to be a GREAT channel, maybe the best Science channel on YouTube, and now? SAD! Very UNFORTUNATE 😭
