> I find a lot of the AI skepticism to be totally unfalsifiable.
A lot of the discourse around AI in general is unfalsifiable. It's just a bunch of people "predicting" the future. Seems smarter to just avoid making assumptions about it at this point.
I don’t make predictions about the future. But in reality, LLMs have already profoundly changed the world, including software development and tech industry.
The people who pretend that’s not the case are not living in reality. To them - let’s call them “ed Zitron readers” - there is no evidence that could change their view that none of this is really happening, it’s all hype, and the collapse is just around the corner, after which we’ll all go back to normal and LLMs will sound like a bad dream.
but we can see trends and for your livehoood it is important to be able to make educated predictions based on trends. not saying everyone should start making AI predictions (though many already do)
