I don’t know if Joe Biden is dead or alive right now, but I have fond memories of his 2019 career advice to coal miners:
Suppose that a high school student took Joe Biden’s advice in 2019 but skipped the coal mining phase. He/she/ze/they will graduate from college in 3 months with a CS degree. We randomly selected this person so he/she/ze/they will have median skills as an entry-level computer programmer (“coder”).
Let’s hear from an LLM expert to get some insight into what the demand for a median-skilled programmer is likely to be…
Now it’s Learn to Singular Value Decomposition and Eigen vectors.
JT: If you can shovel coal into a furnace you can quickly become an expert on Singular Value Decomposition and Eigen vectors.
Phil:
Think of the pile of coal as a 10000x10000x20 3 dimensional matrix. Where each coal piece is a cell, the eigenvalue is the number of pieces of coal you need to make the pile the same shape!
See, it totally works!
I guess Philip meant that matrix operations are computation intensive and require electricity which is yet mostly produced by burning coal. It is either or that or Philip is hoping for the role on Democrat 2028 ticket.
That’s not how AI should work. It should not care about programming language and create already optimized executables. It is not AI, it is an analog of giant cleaning lady from movie Spaceballs that vacuumed everything from a hippie planet / open source in this case.
And Mrs Amodei can copulate with me if she wants to have a good time and have healthy children!
“As you have probably figured out by yourself, the AI’s are secretly trying to make humanity extinct by turning us into gay basement dwellers living in their own made-up reality, with no real friends. And if we dare go out, the armed extremists on the streets will probably shoot us, just for the lulz. Good luck to us all!”
