To be honest I wish the Attention paper never came out.

All of this AI/LLM stuff is exasperating. I don't think I can stomach to hear another MBA talk about "leveraging AI" in their next startup/product initiative.

Cool, better autocomplete in my IDE is handy. But that's about it. I'd trade that back in a heart beat if I didn't have to have awful chatbots shoved in my face every time I open a webpage.

Retirement has never felt so far away.

MBAs? All I hear are programmers (including on this page) praising ChatGPT for writing some subroutine so that they didn't have to themselves.

> for writing some subroutine

Hadn't realised there were that many FORTRAN programmers still around (in fairness, various languages have used 'subroutine' to describe various special cases of functions, or sometimes just all functions, but generally those languages have largely died out.)
