"Every single of one them has had abductions happen on their block, to their neighbors, right in front of them. Their kids have seen their classrooms empty out, remote school instituted like there's another plague. They all know the smell of tear gas, the burn of pepper in the air. One described the number of abandoned cars, windows smashed. Another described a neighbor screaming out. All of them talk of helicopters, the endless helicopters."

The call for help goes out, and it gets answered by so many...

Nobody should have to do this.

But beyond that: There are people in your community, today, doing the work that needs to be done. Reach out to the immigrant rights organizations that exist in your town... Find out how you can help. Find the food banks and pantries in your area, ask what you can do... Find the mutual aid groups... These groups, these people, they all exist, near you, right now."

As a software engineer and engineering manager, I am mildly concerned for my employability in the future. However, I've had a good career, with much more luck than I deserve. People in my profession have been notably pampered and paid extremely well. As automation turns its Sauron-like eye to my own industry, it's hard to say with a straight face that we have been unfairly treated. I also think that there are, and will be for the foreseeable future, a lot of options for people who like to code.

I think that using LLMs to create text, images, video or code is an empowering technology for a lot of people. I think especially with code, it gives people who don't code and who've never had control over their computing experience more agency in their life and work. I think that's a net positive result.
-
@davep That's OK, you don't have to.
-
I generally don't like LLM-generated images or video. I mostly don't like LLM-generated text -- it's usually flat, wordy, and full of business jargon. I don't use LLMs for either of these things.
-
@evan hmm, I'm not seeing anything like genuine equivalence between human learning and LLM statistical output based on training data.
