If you base all your tech workings on the promises of CEOs you'll fail badly, you should not be surprised by this.

Intelligence isn't the same as "can exactly replicate text". I'm hopefully smarter than a calculator but it's more reliable at maths than me. Also there's a huge gulf between "some people claim it can do X

I don't have an issue with that, or the article, it's the comments about "ah but in Europe they do X" like every road looks like Amsterdam.

I wish people would stop assuming that an area with 500M people, more than 20 countries and far more cultures are one addressable block. Some places are, others are absolutely awful. > Another advantage is that narrower roads make driver

They're moderately unreliable text copying machines if you need exact copying of long arbitrary strings. If that's what you want, don't use LLMs. I don't think they were ever really sold as that, and we have better tools

It's pretty clearly worded to me, they don't use LLMs enough to know how to use them successfully. If you use them regularly you wouldn't see a set of urls without thinking "Unless these are extremely obvious links to ma

Editing tools are easy to add it’s just you have to pick what things to give them because too many and they struggle as it uses up a lot of context. Still, as costs come down multiple steps to look for tools becomes cheaper too. I’d like to

Assuming that includes reading, there’s a definite case for having your coding assistant being able to easily see the designs.

That the tools do this kind of thing? They do, they’ll go through pretty long multi step processes to find things and edit them. They run tests, check output, see it’s wrong and go and add debug statements, rerun, try and fix things, rerun,

Would a figure of 60 books per year change the argument? 100? 200? There’s a realistic cap on total number of books consumed by a large enough group of people to matter economically.

The models definitely can get confused if they have multiple copies in their history though, regardless of whether your latest changes are in.

No. Search is part of this, but that doesn’t necessarily work from an error message. It doesn’t mean you get the relevant parts of the thread either. It certainly doesn’t mean you get a populated meeting invite for a relevant team.

I’d also be surprised if the models are better at writing code in some custom schema (assuming that’s not z3s native structure) than writing code in something else. Decent models can write pretty good code and for a lot of mistakes can fix

Images are the clear thing that is typically remote - sometimes to the point of an email that’s entirely just an image, or rather a link to an image.

Showing a birth certificate isn’t a particularly hard bar to pass if you want to fake that you’re a national to be fair. You need just that and a printed letter and there’s nothing an employer will do beyond copying that (afaik you can’t lo

No, those are still the ways of proving you have the right to work, it’s only if you’re not a national that you need the share code.

The share code stuff is not for nationals. It’s not clear to me exactly how it works and whether it’s scalable.

I really disagree on the autonomy side. In fact the Wikipedia page explicitly says that’s not required so whether you agree with that concept or not it’s not a universal point. > The concept does not, in principle, require the system to
