I'm sorry he did this to you, dude. He's been totally out of line all year

Yup

Got a third hands free ticket yesterday. These police really don't understand that I can text and drive at an extremely high level.

Learning things that are useless because the AI can shit it out in 5 seconds, look at this guy, he's a real nerd. It's like learning how to code in 2026. God damn.

Start hitting the textbooks or get replaced. Knowing shit is the future don’t get left behind

Learn how to use these agent harnesses/IDEs more user friendly than SPSS or get left behind. Learn to code? Pah. For what? The robot will review my PRs! What? No!! You can't replace me for a more experienced programmer that uses their background to achieve more efficient token usage!!!!! What do you mean yelling into the chatbox/terminal until I get what I want isn't a marketable skill any more!!!

Its just laziness. I wouldn't even acknowledge that behavior because it might rub off on you.

I just don't want to see anybody get left behind.

I want to see it. More jobs for me.

Don't get me wrong. Stove is lost. But I worry for the rest of us.

might have to buy that recommended caluclus of variations and optimal control book tho....

Basically AI has fucked the smart people because 20th percentile people like me now pump out the same work as the 5th percentile and it also fucks the dumb people because it trivializes their jobs and replaced them like call center workers who do not have the ability to skill up because they genuinely cannot understand or do math.

And y'all are just desperately spending copious amounts of your time trying to grind reading books the LLM can process in seconds instead of just enjoying your lives with your newfound freedom thinking you can get some kind of edge in this environment because your entire identity of being better than everyone else is threatened. This is worse than me trying to build a trading bot by myself to outsmart wall st.

That was your entire justification and consolation prize for sucking at every other dimension in life.

'at least I'm smarter than everyone else so they all respect me because I can say and do things other people can't and that's where I see the value in myself'

People like Terence Tao want to ban some math problems from being solvable by AI and I bet nerds are also going to want to have books they write or certain books written to be banned from having an LLM process and train on it when they realize it's the only way to secure an edge by hiding away info or knowledge from the AI like insider info.

Yes you can try to do that for mainstream models but you'll never be able to stop open /local models from it so good luck with that.

Before you were insufferable / autistic and told yourself I don't need to fix or change because I'm smarter than everyone and they'll have to respect me but now that they can basically trivializes all of the stuff you trained so hard to do, your fucking take away here isn't let me develop my underdeveloped areas and be a more well rounded person.

Instead you're going to double down on the fucking autism and try to beat the robot in a robot race. This is fucking comedy. Please proceed into the meat grinder and let me know how that works out for you.
