I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.
They send me documents they “put together” that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren’t doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.
I feel like I am living in a nightmare.
I am reminded of this article.
PWAs are cool af and widely used for publishing apps on the App/Play stores. It’s a shame they haven’t been adopted more widely for their original purpose of installing apps outside of those stores, but you can’t get everything you want.
Honestly I feel like for small data analysis, simple regressions etc., AI is game changer.
Not for the reasons you might think. As a social scientist, my biggest advantage in postdoc applications was my programming capabilities. Now, my PIs think that they don’t matter. I have difficulties explaining to them why a vibe coder shouldn’t do science but it really is impossible for some people…
Holy shit… XD
lol Silverlight.
In fairness, a lot of those did take over the web for a time and lead to some cool stuff (and also some wild security exploits).
