Not until post-scarcity (if it's even achievable). Until then, Gresham's Law is at work, and cheaper products and services that are of barely acceptable quality along their happy paths are going to dominate markets.

That's one of the important criteria, yes. But I was trying to draw the line on what is "cheating", not when it's socially or morally acceptable.

I don't get how pwning noobs is gratifying at all. It's just griefing and for a normal sane person there's no fun in seeing other people suffer. It's like wrestling with toddlers. Proper "cheating" is not about

8B is not exactly great for roleplaying, if we put the bar any high. It is just not sophisticated enough, as it has very limited "reasoning"-like capabilities and can normally make sensible conclusions only about very basic things

Hah. Okay, here's an anecdote. First time I had to look under the hood (and discover it's not exactly easy to get through the wiring) is when I set up my first homelab cluster. I wanted to run it over an IPv6-only network I had, a

Setting up and maintaining along the happy path is not an issue, it’s well-documented and has existing automations if desirable so you can set up a cluster in just a few minutes (if you have the experience already). And YAML files are nearl

There was a myriad of crappy fiction before LLMs - way more than anyone can read - so… nothing really changed? Sure, LLMs have their own distinct flavors of crappiness, but it doesn’t really matter. If I got it right, the core problem is th
