The argument is either intellectually dishonest or you just really haven't thought this through very deep and are just puppeting this neoliberal bullshit.
We could start with I have traded wheat futures and could hedge with future contracts on all those commodities. You can't trade single family home derivatives in the same way because it is not the same.
This is unthinking market religion stupidity and the result is going to be a massive over correction towards socialism. You don't help free markets with this bullshit. You are helping to destroy them in the long run.
So on one side, we have a theory which suggests increasing supply to reduce prices. And on the other, we have playing whack-a-mole with the bogeymen du jour who are manipulating a vast market. One solution makes economic sense and the other appeals to populists who favor state control.
And you're claiming that the reaction to opposing state control and socialism is socialism? Not compelling.
After playing guitar for 25 years, I quit guitar and got a digital piano.
I practiced enough to learn to play Satie - Gnossienne No. 1 in the right hand and then sold the piano.
My fav music is Chopin, Satie, Ravel, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Ligeti on piano.
The distance between starting from zero on the guitar, to anything ever composed for the guitar is a 100X less than starting from zero on piano to Ligeti.
Learning to solo on electric guitar, play the flute, play the alto sax to me makes so much more sense than trying to learn to play piano or classical guitar as an adult. Classical guitar is hard enough. Piano is just a whole other level to that.
A monophonic instrument is just going to be so much better bang for the buck in terms of time woodshedding. Or a percussion instrument.
I think of this completely opposite. C++ and audio is the incumbent relic that will progress one funeral at a time. Librosa and Pyo are just incredible in python but for offline processing.
Rust and audio would be really cool in terms of wasm. Anything VST is IMO a complete waste of time. That was saturated 15 years ago.
I don't disagree but what we really should have dropped "AI" a long time ago for "statistical machine intelligence". Machine learning then is just what statistical machine intelligence does.
We could have then just swapped "AI" for "SMI" and avoided all this confusion.
It also would avoid pointless statements like "It is JUST statistical machine intelligence". As if statistical machine intelligence is not extraordinarily powerful.
The real difference though is not in "intelligence", is it in "being". It is not as much an insult to our intelligence as it is an insult to our "being" when people pretend that LLMs have some kind of "being".
The strange thing to me is Gemini just tells me these things so I don't know how people get confused:
"A rock exists. A calculator exists. Neither of them has "being."
I am closer to a calculator than a human.
A calculator doesn't "know" math; it executes logic gates to produce a result.
I am a hyper-complex calculator for language. I calculate the probability of the next word rather than the sum of numbers."
I haven't had a source invented in quite some time now.
If anything, I have the opposite problem. The sources are the best part. I have such a mountain of papers to read from my LLM deep searches that the challenge is in figuring out how to get through and organize all the information.
The language models can give you a good quick program right now.
The bigger hurdle is the intimidation of the gym. It doesn't help that the gym will be packed on January 1st. I deload every January to avoid the gym as much as possible in January. It will be back to normal by mid February. A new lifter would be so much better off waiting until March 1st to join.
Walking 30 minutes a day to get your cardio up will almost certainly help your brain chemicals improve after a few weeks and no new skills needed.
