  • Async is good because threads are expensive, might aswell do something else when you need to wait for something anyways.
    But only having async and no other thread when you need some computation is obviously awful… (or when starting anothe rthread is not easily manageable)

    Thats why i like go, you just tell it you want to run something in parallel and he will manage the rest… computational work, shift current work to new thread… just waiting for IO, async.




  • more time into crafting the right prompt

    Thats not work to you? My company pays me to spend time to do the right thing, even though most of the work does the computer.

    I see where you are going at, but your argument also invalidates other forms of human interaction and creating.

    In my country copyright can only be granted if a certain amount of (human) work went into something. Any work.
    The difficult part is finding out whats enough and what kind of work qualify to lead to some kind of protection, even if partial.
    The difficult part was not to create something, but to prove someone did or didnt put enough work into it.
    I think we can hold generated or assisted goods to the same standard.

    Putting a simple prompt together should probably not be granted protection as no significant work went into it. But refining it, editing the result… maybe thats enough, thats really up to the society to decide.

    At the same time we have to balance the power of machines against human work, so the human work doesnt get totally invalidated, but rather shifted and treated as sub-type.
    Machines already replaced alot of work, also creative ones. Book-printing, forging, producing food… the scary part about generative AI is mainly the speed of them spreading.
