So you predict an even more immediate and catastrophic crash? Well, maybe.

Thank you. It is usually only 2-3 days per week, because I do not need to work 100%.

If you do a dumb comparison, sure. If you look at the benefits I have, it looks a bit different.

Mostly all aspects of IT security these days.

I guess we are seeing the start of the end of the hype. "Investors", dumb and clueless as they may be, are not freely pouring money into the bottomless pit that LLMs are anymore.

1. That would be illegal (Europe) and 2. I am paid from a table since as a lecturer, I am technically a public servant. (No complaints about the salary.)

And fail. This has nothing to do with expertise or education in an area. It has everything to do with how a person approaches a question.

No. There is a group, the "independent thinkers", that do not use this crap. They are small, admittedly, but they do exists. The usual estimate is 10...15% of the population and education seems to make no difference.

Do not make for good engineering. FOSS is no different.

You re not a teen. You are a killer. You just have not run into a situation where you will manifest that yet because you got lucky.

I always phrase it as “some of us need to roll a 20 to think critically.”

Kind sir or madam, may I remind you that this is slashdot.

They probably have not gotten dumber, but they definitely think they are smarter and finally have reliable truth at their disposal.

The thing is, these people are the majority (!) of the human race at around 80%. The reason actually mentally capable people see them less often is filter effects. But think of some random relatives, which you probably have minimized or cut contact with.

"Fluid IQ" is just how much of your IQ you actually use. The term was probably invented to not have to tell high IQ people that are not independent thinkers (quite a lot, probably a majority) that they are effectively pretty dump and mentally incapable.

You just exposed yourself as a stupid person. Because all reliable research says exactly the opposite: The more conservative, the more mentally incapable. And that is not even me trying to insult you. That is just a solid fact.
