Punsch trinken ist eine okaye Aktivität um sich den Winter schön zu trinken, aber warum in aller Welt will man extra dafür nach Wien kommen??

Fasziniert mich noch immer wie sich unter Tourist*innen der Glaube verbreiten konnte dass unser schirch-grau-nebelig-feuchtes Wien im Dezember mit den überteuerten Christkindlmärkten ein Top-Reiseziel sein soll

You may be cool, but you'll never be as cool as these two cats wearing sunglasses in the window of an optician's Boulevard St Germain in 1925

But when the METR team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20 percent slower when using AI than when working without it. The researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome,” Nate Rush, one of the authors of the study, told me. “We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

In einer Studie sollten Programmierer:innen mit KI oder ohne KI arbeiten - Fachleute schätzten vorab: Mit KI würden sie um 40% schneller sein

Nach dem Coden schätzten die Programmierer:innen selbst, sie waren mit KI 20% schneller

Es stellte sich heraus: Sie waren um 20% langsamer
