What dystopia is this?
- nine_k 8mo agoThis is a simplification to make the calculation more straightforward. But a typical US workplace honors about 11 to 13 federal holidays. I assume that an AI does not need a vacation, but can't work 2 days straight autonomously when its human handlers are enjoying a weekend.
- monooso 8mo agoThere are no human handlers. From the opening paragraph (emphasis mine): > We built a Software Factory: non-interactive development where specs + scenarios drive agents that write code, run harnesses, and converge without human review. [Edit] I don't know why I'm being downvoted for quoting the linked article. I didn't say it was a good idea.
- nine_k 8mo agoThe human handlers write specs, etc. The AI can't work for days on the same task, I suppose; the feedback must be faster.
- fipar 8mo agoI took it as a napkin rounding of 365/7 because that’s the floor you pay an employee regardless of vacation time (in places like my country you’d add an extra month plus the prorated amount based on how many vacation days the employee has), so, not that people work 50 weeks per year, it’s just a reasonable approximation of what the cost the hiring company.
