It’s not bad.

There’s one thing that people tend to neglect that I like to remember–it’s going to be awhile yet before an AI can walk up to your door, knock, come in and find the specific nature of a plumbing/electrical/HVAC or whatever problem, and then diagnose and fix it. And then get safely home without getting hit by a truck or vandalized by bored teenagers or both.

That’s such a complex suite of different “problems” that we’re going to need nothing less than a general AI to navigate them all. Thus, one of the last jobs that’ll be replaced is various kinds of repair professionals that do house calls. The constant novelty of the career, where every call is its own unique situation, is a nightmare for a current-method AI.

For me it is hard to understand why block chain engineers are highly impacted by GPT.
Scams got automated just a little bit, is it a good or a bad thing?
AI can do a crypto rug pull more efficiently than humans. Yey, progress!
Nobody alive should learn solidity, it’s more ethical this way
Because blockchain is useless and no one is investing in that space anymore because GPT is the new shiny object. Kind of hard to become a blockchain engineer when interest rates aren’t 0%, investors are doing due diligence, and the marketing buzzword train has left the station. Even clueless VCs and MBAs now know blockchain was all hype around selling libertarian fantasies to people who don’t read books.
blockchain is not useless but most of the "currencies" around it is.
It’s pretty useless. It’s proven too slow and inefficient for 99% of the promising use cases and despite having been out for like 15 years, no one has done anything particularly important (and also legal) with it. I’m not sure a typical person would miss anything if the whole ecosystem disappeared tomorrow.
im curious about the slow and innefficient part. Its a ledger and I was under the impression it was perfect for following a supply chain to keep track of shipments. I have sorta been surprised it has not been used for this
Blockchain itself is not slow. No idea of slow or fast can exist without an implementation, and the implementation they probably have in mind is Bitcoin which is slow as shit.
bitcoin is not the only implementation. Gridcoin does not have the same bloat.
Why would you use blockchain to track shipments when you can easily do the same with a standard database? What would be the gain?
with blockchain the information is on the token. You should not need a database.
