    Wait, copilot and ChatGPT use are skills? Isn’t that a bit like how using a phone is a skill?

      More like googling skills. Definitely got some of my first jobs by telling my interviewer that I google shit I don’t know

        You might be surprised at how many people don’t really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.

        Things like “what should I search for to find X” is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.

    So not only do they want AI to take your job - you also won’t be able to get another job if you don’t wholesale buy into this shit.

    I love the future.

        it’s for the official Office keyboard.
        it comes wirh shortcuts to ms office stuff and was supposed to work without installing any software, so they bound them to an extremely long key combinations no one will trigger by accident and shipped the changes to all windows users.

        also another fun fact: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win corresponds to the “Office” key, and hitting that combination will make Windows silently and automatically download and install the Microsoft/Office 365 App and launch it, even if it was previously removed

      Jokes aside, LLMs are actually pretty nice, since they lower the barrier to entry for programming. A guy I know has been doing all of his data processing with obscure Excel hacks his entire life. But recently he had to parse a file with like a million or so lines, which would take forever in excel, so now he’s hacking together a python script using ChatGPT and meta ai. And in the process, he’s actually picking up a bit of python knowledge himself. He now knows what lists are, how loops and if statements work, and he even understands “intermediate” features like list comprehension and regex. They said llms would replace programmers, but in reality they’re making more of us lol

        Has your friend heard of SQL? And you know, databases?

      being a prompt engineer is so much more than typing words. you also have to sometimes delete the words and then type new ones

        Don’t forget that its much more effort than teaching a child, sometimes no matter your words, the machine can be stubborn. It is a very difficult and misunderstood profession, sometimes my head aches a little from typing the same thing over again, expecting a different result. But together we will hallucinate the future, engineering one word at a time.
