JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people.

WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve?

Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice?

And therapy? Just… 😑

What’s wrong with people in tech?

@baldur tech is so sheltered from the real world. Many people in tech have never done anything else in their life and it shows and expresses itself in total disregard for other people's professions and skills.

(And the fact that many of them should go to therapy to understand a few things about themselves and why they feel the way they do but don't is just the cherry on top)

@tante @baldur
It's also a matter of WHAT people in tech. Working in tech as a designer is often a humbling experience: no matter how carefully you model & design, you'll have to tweak and tune your design because (and you learn that) reality is more complex
But people who invest capitals in tech or people who just "have ideas" and then pressure other tech people to make that idea real and if they can't make it real it's them not working hard enough never learn that humbling lesson. Or too late

I have met arrogant designers and humble programmers. Of varying ages and sexes, although usually SWM are the worst offenders. (I am a SWM who has to work hard to check his own arrogance).
