LLMs are useful. They're not "3-4 trillion dollars in investments over 5 years" useful, nor "crammed into the throat of every employee on the planet, regardless of their actual job" useful. The way they are pushed r

What? The basic properties of water are scientifically defined as best we can. There is mathematical proof that 1+1=2. Do you think science starts from nuclear physics or differential equations? We couldn't build any of this stuff (roc

> the worthiness of the adoption was blindingly obvious at that point Everything is so "blindingly obvious" yet nobody can point to ANY serious peer reviewed studies that prove it. I'm patient, I'll wait.

Historically that rarely happens because industrial equipment is/was generally too expensive for the average worker to purchase on their own, plus workers usually have a budget of roughly 0 to buy extra tools, especially expensive ones

> Plenty of people are critical of AI at my job despite a big push to use it. Are they critical to you and your 10 people team, aka a small circle or are they critical in the all hands Q&A in front of 500 employees?

Or maybe that's the wrong direction and this is where most of the world is headed once the true costs and ROI are fully revealed.

Are those regions poor or very sparsely population (or both)?

It's even worse/better. It's corporate financial malpractice. At some point they will wake up after the AI psychosis dies down. That might take 1-2 more years. After that most companies will realize that AI is a tool, as OP s

LOL at the downvotes. I'm sure that the shareholders aka wealthy people at the top have a lot of patience for huge gambles that don't pay off. If OpenAI and Anthropic turn out to be the IT equivalent of mom and pop stores 5 years

I love how you completely side stepped the cash flow comment AND the graph. It's all right, I spent years arguing against cryptocurrency boosters. I'll probably have to wait a few more years for AI boosters to be gone into the net

You mean the other businesses (not the DCs) generate more pollution and don't bring in less property tax revenue? Pollution, ok, regular industry generates more. But property tax revenue? Why would DCs provide more property tax revenue

Most other things they could build there could create a lot more local jobs.

This comment doesn't work as well considering my implication was an invasion of US soil.

Which invaders? Has the Iran War taken a 180 degree turn?

The entire US auto industry is predicated on protectionism. Without it the Japanese would have wiped out GM/Ford/Chrysler in the 1980s, and now the Chinese in the 2020s-2030s.

Apple can't make devices they sell to 1000 people once, so yes, you did say that, implicitly.

When you've raised hundreds of billions in funding, every result except "to the moon" is a death knell.

Yes, just like 90% of regular users set up NASes instead of just using Dropbox or Google Drive. https://xkcd.com/2501/

In what sustainable world outside of Bay Area jobs do devs spend 120k on tokens monthly?

Hmmm, not always. Between at least 1998 and 2005, PCs were just better. Better CPUs.

For consulting, sure. Most of the work is hitting the ground running and figuring out the old tech stacks, creating PoCs and then moving them to production and them moving on to the next "engagement". I think the problem is more f

LOL. Americans have lost the plot. They've used SpaceX to leave reality. The typical Dutch trailer is pulled by stuff like Volvo S60 and smaller, and it weighs around 3000lbs in freedumb units. They generally migrate about 1000km - 150

My point is that there is a chance that Anthropic launched MCP: 1. not fully believing in it 2. but knowing the hype around MCP would force other AI labs to implement it (standard enterprise checkbox behavior) 3. thus wasting some of their
