If you start paying someone and give them some onboarding docs, to a first approximation they'll start doing the job and you'll get value.
If you attach a credit card to o3 and give it some onboarding docs, it'll give you a nice summary of your onboarding docs that you didn't need.
We're a long way from a model doing arbitrary roles. Currently at the very minimum, you need a competent office worker to run the model, filter its output through their judgement, and act on it.
- levocardia 2y agoRight, value per token is much more important (but harder to quantify). A medical AI that could provide a one-paragraph diagnosis and treatment plan for rare / untreatable diseases could be generating thousands of dollars of value per token. Meanwhile, Claude has probably racked up millions of tokens wandering around Mt. Moon aimlessly.

- kibwen 2y agoMiraculously, it does know the treatment! The question is, does it have malpractice insurance?
- throwup238 2y agoI can just imagine all the executives and actuaries in Lloyd’s of London just salivating and wringing their hands: ”that’s how we get in on the AI fad too!”

- serjester 2y agoI think that’s the remarkable thing - even with all of its flaws and its insane pricing, there’s plenty of people that will pay for it (myself included). LLM’s are good at a class of tasks that humans aren’t.
- lherron 2y agoMore like: every time you tell o3 to do something, it will first reread the onboarding docs (and charge you for doing so) before it does anything else.
