@_thegeoff@mastodon.social @ShaulaEvans@zirk.us When I was young I got very excited once when I came up with a sorting algorithm. Until a more senior dev looked at it and said: great, you invented bubble sort 😂 This is btw exactly what’s happening in tech over and over, made worse by LLM’s so now everyone can reinvent something 🙄

@johan@social.terbeest.org @ShaulaEvans@zirk.us Independent discovery at least feels a bit satisfying when you find out you'd have been cutting edge or won a Nobel if you'd done it 100 years ago...you don't even get that with "AI" stuff. (Researchers using ML properly aside, e.g. protein folding.)
