I'm so glad Airbnb, Uber, Netflix, etc aren't both hiking their prices and enshittifying via ads, dark patterns, etc. LLMs are not AGI and everyone is starting to see it. We need new basic research for that. Think fusion reactors.

What if LLMs, at the end of the day are machines, so for now generally dumber than humans and the best they can provide are at most statistically median implementantions (and if 80% of code out there is crap, the median will be low)? Now th

In your mind scribes disappearing, probably 0.1% of the population, is the same thing as up to 50% of the population losing their jobs? Deindustrialization happened 20-40 years ago and the affected regions are still hit hard. Also, you'

For people like you: except for the obvious greed, what's the end game? Are you making anyone's life better? Who will even pay you once most jobs are automated? At best, it's a defensive move: make money, get hard capital and

Especially since EU laws are announced 5-10 years in advance, manufacturers have time to actually design this. For example they could make easily removable labels.

Your point is the speculative one, though. We know humans can and have built incredibly complex and reliable systems. We do not have the same level of proof for LLMs. Claims like your should wait at least 2-3 years, if not 5.

Phew, you made me so afraid of EU propaganda that I almost forgot about the propaganda from major energy companies (with a combined worth of trillions of dollars). When your comments is worse than the official BP position on climate change,

1. Completely giving up is worse. 2. You're forgetting bureaucracy and general big company overhead. Hyperscalers have tried to kill a lot of smaller external stuff and frequently they end up their own chat apps, instead.

Yeah, yeah. It's not purely about installing apps. It's primarily about sandboxing them. I always thought Americans were "nanny state this, nanny state that". Doesn't this also apply to huge state sized corporations
