As far as Lemmy being a little biased against AI, yes, I would agree.
It is probably safest to just delete this entire thread and never mention AI again on this platform.
Innovation is happening everywhere.
I mean, AI startups are inventing new industries regularly and pulling in billions of dollars from funders.
What we know as content today is already obsolete. AI is opening doors there are not words for yet.
I wouldn’t think he would be wrong. Prioritizing mathematics and other traditional fields as a Computer Science student sounds like an ideal learning path.
When I was teaching myself to program computers, there was not ChatGPT. I had to teach myself everything. Concepts like “scope” and “recursion” took time to learn. But that cognitive resistance helped me more than an easy answer.
I started studying AI when I was first teaching myself to program computers. AI is not 3 years old. AI as a field of thought began in the 1950’s.
Explicitly because AI already outpaces you. The things AI can already do are superhuman. I work in the industry and everything is changing. That is why so much money is being spent.
Or don’t. It’s not my problem. I want to be known as someone who tried to help others as the world changed. That’s powerful karma.
Some of the best advice you can get comes from putting a dragnet on smaller communities like Lemmy.
