Motivated reasoning combined with incomplete truths is the perfect recipe for this. I kind of get it, especially if you are stuck on some shitty enterprise AI offering from 2024. But overall it’s rather silly and immature.

I don’t think they are losing money on inference. Model training, sure. But that will slow down at some point.

You can vibe-code a throwaway UI for investigating some complex data in less than 30 minutes. The code quality doesn't matter, and it will make your life much easier. Rinse and repeat for many "one-off" tasks. It's not g

They didn't spend a trillion dollars to create GPT-3 in 2020... Gary Marcus is a mindless talking head "contrarian" at this point. He should get a real job.

I hear you, sometimes it is easier to just do it myself. You can tell the AI to change the "ugly code" to be how you like. Work for me most of the time. Even better, tell the AI to not write it that way in the first place. It writ

What's the problem? They are the blocking the aisles? It seems like you are trying to solve Y, when it's X you care about.

Everything has always been "shit"... Things might be shit in interesting and scary new ways, but there is no such thing as "the good ole days". Our mind wants to believe that things could go back to "how they used t

Acceptance is key with all difficult changes. Leaning into it is good advice :) Definitely a rough thing to struggle with.

What could any complex phenomenon possibly be other than small “mundane” components combined together in a variety of ways and in immense quantities? All such things are like this. For me, this is fascinating, mind-boggling, non-sensical, a

It doesn't matter how fast you are moving if you are going in the wrong direction. Nonetheless, these are good points.

Those phrases definitely stick out quite badly. But this post wasn’t pure slop. It had high quality info about a large ML effort inside an old school auto company, which is very interesting. I was just a bit disappointed no one thought to e

> Us running around in the jungle wasn't training our brain to write poetry or compose music. This is a crux of your argument, you need to justify it. It sounds way off base to me. Kinda reads like an argument from incredulity.

There has to be more options than just the two you reference... not saying it’s easy, but we can’t just throw our hands up.

Ah yes, let’s blame it all on the weak-willed addicts… That hasn’t been tried before, and would certainly help.

You don’t think it’s ethically and morally questionable to frequent a business that knowingly harms the majority of its customers? I agree there’s a some sort of gray area here, but it feels awfully narrow… especially with the recent sports

The paragraph in question is a very poor use of the tool.

Because it sounds like shit? Taste matters, especially in the age of generative AI. And it doesn’t convey information that well, to be honest.
