On a recent episode of the All In podcast, one of the hosts made a remark along the lines of "in the future [when AI has replaced the knowledge worker], insatiable demand will exist for people who are experts in querying NLPs." I think we're seeing that here.
Yep. The High Priests who, for an offering and proper supplication, will take your request to the Oracle.
Or maybe we will see something like, "Hey, ChatGPT1, formulate a question with appropriate qualifiers and specifications to get ChatGPT2 to return the following..."
I already do something like. I wrote a prompt to get chatGPT to rewrite my prompts for gpt3 davinci, so that I would use less tokens and get better answers.
This product gives me the same sketchy vibes as Mighty[1]. There's absolutely no way I'm going to give up one of my most sacred tools to a funded company whose going to expose my every click.
I wondered the same. Then I realized it sends out requests to googleapis, segment, and sentry. Imagine having data on every dev's terminal workflow? Ca$h.
A lot of workplaces don't even bother to ban grammarly, which is literally a keylogger*, this won't even be on their radar.
* I feel compelled to point out that Grammarly disagree with this definition because it doesn't send every single keystroke, just the ones in non-password text boxes.
If my plugin Passwordly, only sends the keystrokes inside password boxes, is or isn't that a key logger? It's only capturing a subset of your input, like Grammarly, so not a keylogger?
If the argument is, it's not a keylogger because it's not logging sensitive information, well I type plenty of sensitive information into non-password textboxes.
I’d say passwordly also isn’t a key logger. By your definition every text editor would be a key logger. That may be the strict definition of a key logger but the commonly accepted meaning is different. A keylogger logs all keys regardless of the app being used or general use case. Often they are malicious as well but that doesn’t have to be the case.
I'm in the middle of a pivot out, having recently quit what was my "dream job" at a top company while making the most money I've earned in my career.
I knew it was coming eventually after having burned out a couple times at prior jobs. In all cases it was caused by a mix of the factors the article mentions plus a lack of meaning and fulfillment as a software engineer that I've never been able to escape. This last role was sort of a last ditch effort to see if a renowned company, good salary, and good manager could make things better. It didn't, and in fact I think it was the cognitive dissonance of that situation that lead me to burnout harder and more quickly than I have in past positions.
I've had a few weeks to reflect and recharge and so far I have no regrets.
The next step is to try hard to find a better option in another industry or some form of self-employment, though it's required some mindfulness to be honest with myself about what I truly want and could be qualified for. I also know that I could easily just go right back into the fray; who could give up the money and stability? I don't take those for granted. It's certainly a far better option than failing my family or going into poverty. But I'm optimistic I can make it work.
This seems logical, especially if the person who got bronze was not expecting to get higher. If the person who had gotten gold previously got bronze they probably are not going to be feeling this way so, so a bit of an expectations game too potentially..
If you take some simple theory - say that the top five people will be roughly the same across any tries, and three will metal, then the bronze medal winner is likely to be someone who wasn't certain they could medal at all.
In large-ish meetings (3+ attendees), I usually turn off my camera (and mute my mic) when I'm not the one talking. For less formal meetings I might relax this. But, in general, I've found that keeping cameras and mics on at all times usually derail meetings.
