  • Very true, and adding on to what the other person said, the reason is because we are evolutionarily trained to avoid effort because it uses less energy, same reason people will watch a 30 second youtube short over reading a book.

    Alongside that, there are some cases where I’ll be working on something and there’s a task I’m actually working on, and some small aside that I can’t be bothered with at that moment. For instance, I’m processing some data from a file and using it to display differing graphics depending on what’s in the file, but I don’t remember how to open it and read the data. If the llm can give me the code that does that, then I can stay focused on the graphics-creation code (and I most likely revisit the file opening later)





  • I took a computer graphics class as a freshman that blew my mind with the concepts, but the math was way above my level. Basically 1/2 the class was graduate students, and the prof was talking about partial derivatives on day 1. There wasn’t even a math requirement…

    Around 4 years after the class I went and relearned it and finally realized what the teacher was talking about and I was blown away for a 2nd time.






  • It’s one of my biggest issues with lemmy, it’s like the democrat that gets us some actually great policies, who does have some big problems, is treated the same as the Republicans passing racist transphobic climate damaging research canceling (also canceled funding for cancer research for children…) legislation.

    Democrats seem to be useless because they have to spend 4 years undoing the trainwreck caused by Republicans, but the American people have the memory of a goldfish apparently so we keep getting more Republicans.
