"You just need harder problems to solve"
This is beautiful quote form
@Sentdex . Don't feel pessimistic about AI being smarter than you. Feel optimistic because you can solve harder problems.
I remember trying to force myself to use C to do the same things I could do 100x faster in Python. I just couldn't do it. Not because it was hard, because there was no point for that particular problem. There are obviously still many important and useful usecases for C today, but the needs have changed over time.
Abstraction is a good and natural thing. It's a core human capability that has given us our entire civilization and allows us to progress technologically.
When assembly hit, the machine coders disliked it. When C came around, the C/Assembly people disliked it. C people still often dislike Python. It's definitely okay to be sad about change, and Mo's take here seems super human and genuine, recognizing mostly that times are changing, but the argument is false.
Mo is not useless. Mo just needs harder problems to solve.
