- x______________ 5mo agoNothing factual in this article, only suppositions and possibilities with reference to MSFT getting rid of claude and Doordash CEO comments a week prior, as the title clearly ..suggests.
- NewsaHackO 5mo agoIt's anti AI though, expect it to be on the front page shortly.

- alexgotoi 5mo agoIn 1780, once horse power was way more expensive than a real horse. At least, that’s what my intuition data suggests.
- KolibriFly 5mo agoYeah but at least early industrial machines consistently outperformed humans on a specific task. With LLMs it's still a weird mix of brilliant moments and completely unreliable behavior

- x______________ 5mo agoYou linked the full discussion for Microsoft capping claude, TFA mentions Doordash and suppositions, titles don't match. Dupe sensors need calibrating.
- fouc 5mo agonot exactly a dupe but definitely closely related.
- ChrisArchitect 5mo agoThe first Fortune source linked in this article was previously marked as dupe here and directed to that Verge discussion. Most of the discussion on this is there, 6 days ago.
- dantodor 5mo agoHire competent people, give them tokens. The two axes are complementary, not competing.
- addedGone 5mo agoLiterally, it's exhausting to have people parroting "It's more expensive than humans", complete non-sense, many people lack the ability to extrapolate even a tiny bit it seems like?
- plmpsu 5mo agoRight. Give incompetent people tokens, and they become 10x better at their incompetence.
- norome 5mo agoThe real problem: token overuse triggered the pullback "after internal incentives pushed teams to compete on AI usage." Incentivised to burn money, they burnt too much.
