Can we stop anthropomorphizing this product? People don't dislike AI because of money. The fundamental disconnect is about value and quality. The value of human efforts and IP is part of that, but the value of potable water and the qua

The acting is only as good as the prompter. This isn't a collaboration. A movie isn't just the work of the director, it is the work of everyone involved. This looks good for what it is, but compared to The White Balloon, a famous

"teams that sit this out while competitors are hustling could be out of business before the dust settles. That’s a real, existential threat." I would like to see proof of this. Why is it assumed that first to market is all that su

Same goes for the fuel and control systems (thinking air traffic control here) to power their escapes. Additionally if we're talking a government collapse, fiat money will only have value as heating fuel. Even high value assets like go

I guess since it looks like voting isn't going to have effects after advanced gerrymandering, we can still vote with our wallets. Provided we still have the choice.

I feel seen. What happened to contentedness as a life goal? I feel as though I'm treated like a bafoon for not wanting to be a billionaire at the expense of my enjoyment, my pride and common decency. I have never been able to separate

AI doesn't have values. It's a sometimes unpredictable tool, like a table saw. To stay safe we are aligning our values to what it does (like not trimming table legs while still attached to the table with the table saw). If we cont

Ok. So AI is a gun and we shouldn't ban guns just because people use them in crime. One may not see the morally blind pursuit of profit as a crime, but in many cases the outcomes can look the same. Right now it doesn't feel like a

Did you investigate it? If someone posted that Claude code created a new language that was typesafe and 50% more efficient for LLM coding and 20% faster for a human to review without any details about the language, would you not look it up?

This is indicative of too much context. Remember these systems don't "think" they predict. If you think of the context as an insanely large map with shifting and duplicate keys and queries, the hallucinating and seeming loss

Why does startup equal good? Maybe it's better if someone creates something out of the motivation to create a thing or provide it and not out of a desire to "win big". Otherwise it's just more junk or services nobody wan

Why is this never a "we can make more products" conversation with businesses? It's always about how many people we can not pay versus how many more things we can sell. I think this is very telling of where the message is comi

100 x 5s is nearly 10 minutes. If it takes 10 minutes to write a PR there may be a "skill issue". The bottom end of this 1-2 minutes makes more sense. How much productivity do we really need? Even at senior dev payscale 2 minutes

I think using GPT et.al. to create a bespoke tool to do what you need is giving the average home user too much credit. What I see more of is just using the prompt in the place of software to create an outcome. "Transcribe this recordin

This is the pattern. The labor is nearly worthless, so just have the bot reinvent the wheel every time.

The problem isn't creators with bad taste. It's consumers with bad taste. At least before AI, creators could profit from them.

Take that China! Srsly, what to do when Sonnet doesn't understand your brownfield codebase is kinda ignored here. Trusting LLMs with large codebases and letting your skills slip is a mistake.

Right "it only can get better from here". If by "better" you mean "stay at the same ability but make more money through pay walling and ads".

This is the point. LLMs are a replacement for agency. No more suggestion that you try a new product, the LLM will tell you when to use it and the LLM provider will sell the responses to the highest bidder based on query demographics. Since

"AI"'s killer feature is making UIs for existing non-AI technologies like OCR, speech to text, deep fakes, image manipulation etc. In many cases firms eventually look to get a better result and use the tools themselves after
