Possibly significant e.g connecting multiple governmental agencies so citizens can finish their paperwork in days instead of weeks, schedule appointments instead of waiting from 8am untill 2pm to have you matters settled, etc...
Of course, there isn't much shareholder value on this, so perhaps when Software Engineering becomes a modest profession like many others, improvements to society might start happening.
The industry as it currently stands is significantly antisocial.
Except that the most glaring difference is that compilers are deterministic, while LLMs aren't.
Given the same input, compilers will always return the same output, while for LLMs. They won't, given the same input, they will return different output.
Oh God you fell for the hype and used DHH's juiced up distro. I encourage you to try a properly maintained distro e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora, or Leap instead of a racist narcissist's hobby project.
Maybe, just maybe, we should fix the fucked up world we created instead? Shunning the modern culture of individualism would be a great first step, followed by promoting communal culture. Live exactly how we evolved to live for hundreds of thousands of years.
There's a reason it takes a village to raised a child. He idea of only a single pair of adults should be responsible for raising an entire human being is one of the most unhinged developments of the modern era.
For our entire history we used to live in tribes. One person can look after 5 children with only a small extra % of the effort it takes to look after one. Hell maybe even less effort because the kids will keep each other company, and the adult only has to make sure the kids don't kill themselves. The older kids will naturally take charge and the younger kids tend to follow their older-brother figures.
It can still be done today. Children-having adults gather, bringing their children along. The children will be happy because friends to play with. Adults will be happy because socialization + taking a break from entertaining child. You can even play DND or something.
It's so obvious, so simple, so rewarding, but we still somehow fucked it up.
