"just gives you the answer" is a problem when it is offered without context, sourcing, etc. Such is the case for people trying to poison--ahem "influence" LLM results for "what is the best restaurant in $my_locale&q

We need new companies that market their products as enduring and reliable. The market wants it.

Of course they did. Look at the disaster around the messaging.

If you have to care about this stuff, then you do. I think it’s that simple.

Forgive me, but what does Jony Ive know about building platforms?

The rentier class needs a very strong correction. A lot of the conversation focused on what AI is and isn't is often just a proxy for frustration at the structural problems in our society which are in large part due to the inability

How many are chained, and how many patches are defense-in-depth after discovering chained paths to that flaw?

Yeah, I imagine this is a big part of it.

Care to sell me on it? How dose it compare to musescore?

Judging by parent's CV, it kind of looks like they are relatively new to the industry and working in areas where they are heavy on the greenfield side of the equation. I get the sense that they've probably had some good success on

There is a general misunderstanding about "waste" in firms, organizations, and governments. Perfect efficiency DOES NOT EXIST and even if it did, it is NOT EVEN A DESIRABLE STATE for these entities. Sometimes when you see "wa

10k in the S&P is by default a far better investment than some computer components. You could say the same thing like "you buy a car and I'll put my money in the S&P and we'll see who's happier in N months".

"coding is largely solved" and "self-driving is largely solved" smell exactly the same to me. ETA: I bristle deeply at your idea that anyone who doesn't agree with you is letting their emotions get the better of the

The people who I see who are "getting along just fine" in this current mess are either True Believer™ types, or are semi or fully retired and don't need to care particularly strongly which way any of this goes from an employm

Great article! One perspective I'd like to share is that for me, the joy is mostly found in how beautiful the product is. From that standpoint, I don't particularly care how efficient I am at writing cursive. That said, this is a

The other side of it may be that the community that has grown around it is now just going to be annoyed by a bunch of people writing gibberish in their chat for the better part of 24 hours. :)

If you think we're "done", you have no imagination.

I don't think it does. (meaningfully change the economics of rewrites) Burning a sea of tokens to arrive at the equivalent functionality and having a small team of people oversee that process is rarely going to be the fix to the organi

Honest question/comment for you and the parent: I find these subjective experience reports pretty empty without an understanding of your level of experience, the problem space you're working in, etc.

50% of folks seems a pretty strong signal, though. No? While I agree that simply calling something "AI slop" is not constructive, it is not my job to voluntarily review LLM-extruded crap. In the past I would provide constructive c

Implicit in your answer is the belief that they will come back to earth. I wonder how realistic that belief is.

If I have 10k to spend, what should I buy for the best local model experience?

I'm taking the downvote in stride, but 14.4 and 28.8 RealAudio streaming seems like it lasted all of 3 months and then people had napster and were pulling 96k mp3s.

AOHell didn't take any time to load, and no one was streaming music on 28.8.

Eh, to be fair, this post is about a _bank_, and the one you've linked is about _fintech_. They are not even close to the same space, even though they both deal with money. But also I suppose you may be saying exactly this?
