I think it's forcing a real conversation around human value and what it means to live in a capitalist society. AI, ML and generative systems overall are made by people for people to use, even if a system is made for machines it's made for the machine to fulfill some human function. I think of them as tools that can help us move faster in solving the problems that cause human suffering. I understand the fear around losing jobs, but I also know that because these things can make us faster, it may be that the tools actually empower people to do more, especially those that are affected by layoffs. If anything it is an incentive to push for better regulation around social safety nets and training programs. Capitalism without guardrails to protect it's public is self destructive, and a lof of the world suffers because of this. If we can find a way to provide for the most vulnerable of people and provide pathways for intergration which can look like some type of productivity distribution we might be able to actually build a better society. It may be that these are just growing pains in trying to make that happen, and that happens through better conversations around the value of human life and how to protect it.

@Coding Crab We might and that may be okay. Its important to understand the systems as best we can as they're built in either case, I think.

Are you giving yourself enough rest? Are you eating well? Sleeping well? Giving yourself breaks to either think about other things or excercising? Most information is synthesized in our sleep in our subconscious or when we're focused on other tasks like washing dishes or excercising. I've been in a similar place where documentation becomes just a letter soups and things stop making sense. The best thing you can do for yourself in those times is to give yourself a break to let your mind rest and recover. Give yourself breaks throughout study sessions to just close your eyes and either go over things or simply think about other things, and if you need to, give yourself a day or two and then get back at it and see how you feel. Good luck! Let us know how that works out for you!

@Desiree Quintela Good luck!

@Pierre-Henry Isidor What do you mean by this? That not every living thing has a soul? Do you mean sentience and self awareness? Empathy? All of us are made from our parts, and made whole from emergence of some type of coherence in our systems. Even bugs or animals follow their own systems towards survival. In that way, we're all part of the same universe machine with our own perspective, each holding some type of magnitude of self autonomy. Do the machines themseleves have theyr own perspective? Is it emergent based on the training data? Is that not a reflection of the human zeitgeist? How does that affect the public that uses it? Is it based on how they use it? Is that not some type of reflection of themselves? There's a lot of questions there that your line of thinking opens. If you look down at the cirquit and what is happening in the machine calculating through the reasoning of the language you'll find some type of math build by people. Is it conscious like our math? I don't know. I'm not sure it is, and for it to be, there are some things that it lacks in its systems. For now it is a logical software architecture that simulates language through math, can it experience emotion? Even if the line of questioning from the user leads it to generate language that says it does, would it had it not been promped to do so? Is the emotion felt by the person or the machine? I think it's important to have clarity around how these systems work as we develop them further to protect ground truth so that we don't lose what that means.

Most technical interniships are paid, you can get yourself closer to them by building projects that you can speak about and finding ways to connect with the interviewer. It depends on the company too, but if you have great projects and you code is clean and you talk about what it does and why you wrote it that way it can get you pretty far.
