They could train them to not behave like person having a dialog at all, but just like a weird search. It would not be hard, would it? They are designed like this on purpose for some reason. I would guess because it increases engagement.

Does that mean you just don’t believe we will make AGI, or it will arrive but then stop and never evolve past humans? That’s not what the AI developers profess to believe, or the investors.

> It’s because the bottleneck isn’t in intelligence, but in human tasks: specifying intent and context engineering. So the bottleneck is intelligence. Junior engineers are intelligent enough to understand when they don't understand.

Anthropic sells this thing called Claude Code, but their customers have to train it to know how to be a programmer? Junior developers not even out of school don’t need to be instructed to think.

People also complained a lot about VR. And NFTs had a lot of loud detractors. And everyone complained about a million other solutions that did not go anywhere. Still, a bunch of investors made a lot of money on VR and very much so on NFT. I

Of course you can automate ”having fun” and ”being entertained”. That is if you believe humanity will ever build artificial intelligence.

We already have README, and API specs, and Jira, and Confluence, and RFCs are freely available. Why do these "agents" need so much hand holding?

I mean it’s all up to the employer if they want employees to be productive. If they don’t care they don’t care. They pay most of us for our time anyway, not what we achieve.

I have started to gravitate toward ”write everything 100 times” or at least ten. I’m thoroughly convinced DRY is the most ill-applied of all programming dogmas. At every place of work I have been I have run into bugs introduced by changes i

There is nothing artificial about that. The more you annoy drivers of cars and the less efficient you make streets for car traffic and the more you force them to not trust their surroundings, the safer the streets are for everyone.

Army personnel in general is unnaturally beefy and I'm sure these running drills often are done carrying load, no? Humans are evolved to run, but not to have heavy frames and not carrying material for fighting wars.
