They'll only get to claim a hollow victory because AGI is impossible to rigorously define. None of the regulating bodies of consumer products will be able to define it better than academics. They'll use marketing to…
It's not the only thing, but it's a big one
Cheaper labor, for sure
>Are those excess returns not work? What are they? Normally you'd get a low percentage fee instead of getting all of the returns unless you got that capital for free (inheritance?), so yes, you are a worker compared to…
>In writing tasks Qwens hallucinations and bullshitting are much easier to spot because it doesn't have the sleek vocabulary and wordsmithing skills to disguise its ignorance. Can't wait until we just remove the…
"read code" and "debug code" will still be valuable and one of the ways you learn that is "write code". You might have gotten people who can only write code from cheap contracting places, but the companies choosing to…
>But does it actually matter? Probably not, because most of us are boring. Most of us don't have stalkers. Most of us don't have government clearances. Most of us aren't politically adjacent, significant, or know…
>What kind of 'useful'? Someone says it's useful to them. If you get a consensus where >50% find it useful, then it's probably useful.
>I think Sam Altman is an asshole and I prefer to spend my money elsewhere. That's why he chose the OpenAI logo
If anything though, this shows that at least tech driven hype bubbles can stay around way longer than we think if we are looking at it from a product POV. This just means short sellers might have a hard time sinking a…
This is why the 'craft' should be left to open source for most commercial software. The business reality just doesn't care for it. Only when you have a PR problem does the business switch back to signalling quality,…
All we can really do is point and laugh. Boards don't listen to workers, and I bet most boards will be okay with a little spending oopsie-daisy because it was 'try shit and see if it works out'
I doubt it, but I've seen dumber stuff like laying off people because they think AI will replace them
PE has a bad reputation, maybe for LBOs, maybe for buying up doctors' offices and retirement homes, and hospitals and making them objectively worse in terms of patient care. My family doctor underwent that along with…
That's probably the goal You get nothing being the go-to person vs. the person that just does the job
That's heinous. Their firm should stay away from sports car brands.
This would be more meaningful if, perhaps, we had to swear an oath to it before being able to practice. And practitioners would be treated more seriously if everyone knew we swore that oath. And the legal utility as…
I just do business apps and websites, and it pays the bills, but none of it is really interesting since a lot of it involves recurring patterns and simply fixing other peoples' past mistakes (and future people will…
My guess is this was brought up but getting the product out there was more important to the business so it got ignored. Now that it's a problem for them, they get to hide behind an "oops sorry, let's fix the really…
>They probably shouldn't have ignored the public sentiment. Company goes under and they just start something else. There's no real consequences. This is a club, not a market.
More like developers who give quality away for free then are left wondering why businesses who make millions still end up squeezing the life out of them.
Fast food might be the right approach if it's a business that prefers speed to maintainability, and they might move towards that with LLMs. I wish more developers would go with it instead of fight it. It's not like it's…
"They clearly stare into the black void to make themselves feel better!"
If they can't at least imagine the golden path themselves and write it down, they shouldn't be in charge of the product because they will be unlikely to understand any other in depth conversations about it. And I have…
Firing people is problematic. I'd be okay with it if the economy wasn't utter trash. It's way better to do the work upfront and prefer false negatives over false positives. Even better would be if we had a…
