Never thought I would consistently agree with Geo but I find him echoing my thoughts recently. He’s been surprisingly pragmatic recently. Maybe he always was? Or maybe something has recently caused him to review his beliefs.

This makes me glad that I got into tech later in life after being in the trades. I don’t know how to explain it quite yet but I feel like Geo is experiencing something I’ve seen with a lot of my counterparts who were computer nerds from the

“You can’t see it most places so who cares if it goes away” is my most charitable interpretation of this.

I’ve been present when the world comes crashing down around people who thought they were too smart to get caught. The surprise in their eyes is always very genuine.

Joined the game and the random name it gave me was “Black Kidd” which I found amusing.

I have almost no appreciation for trains and I’m incredibly interested in trying this.

This is the problem with the majority of AI push coming from devs. They look at something as complex as accounting and only think in terms of what they see on the surface and then say “oh that looks easy enough, there couldn’t possibly be m

Ah yes, because there’s no difference between a shifted decimal and entirely hallucinated credits and debits. This was my CPA wife’s response btw. The entire field is based on balance sheets and context that informs compliance. Let me put i

Ha even if this was true (it’s not) you’re basically saying “humans will make some mistakes so let’s throw caution to the wind” which is probably the worst application of AI that I’ve heard yet.

Hahaha non-deterministic accounting probably won’t fly well with the IRS

I like that the most sober thing a CEO has said in a long time is getting the “who cares what CEOs think?” treatment.

You just reminded me of how Copilot (also the only allowed tool at some of the orgs I do client work for) will sometimes switch to Toki Pona for no reason.

Happy fourth to you too :)

I think sometimes it is but only if the humor relies on a tone. When it’s satire I think the main blocker of recognition is if you have an emotional reaction first. As an example, if you are a diehard AI influencer or something you might mi

Sure, let me be blunt. Speed and cost are nothing without quality and quality is partially a product of accountability (not even considering the technical or logistical issues this is enough on its own. An AI cannot be held accountable. It

Oh machine learning has been useful for measuring deterministic and non deterministic outputs for a long time. But that’s not the argument here, is it? So the question still stands.

by ofjcihen 4mo ago
Have outputs from engineers traditionally been measured in cost and speed? Remember, we aren’t just talking about the product you create. While you would measure deliverables by cost and speed are we ignoring something else? Something that

So I do a lot of client work for F100s and I’ve got some good news and bad. The bad news is it’s already in the C Suite and they (were) pushing it hard. The good news is that since Copilot and others have started to charge based on usage a

That’s a great explanation of automation. If I have a choice between a deterministic traffic light and a non-deterministic traffic light which one would I use? And yes, before you say “this isn’t a comparison of non deterministic and determ

This argument style is always humorous. The intention is something like “so humans are as bad as AI” when the original question boils down to something like “why would I replace humans with AI?”.

I like that this goofy fear-based boosterism is on the front page at the same time as an actually well reasoned and well written article about how fear-based boosterism has actually harmed the AI industry instead of making everyone panic-bu

I love this argument. Not because it’s true but because it betrays the posters doubt in their own sentience.

Hell it’s past small and mid. I do work for a few of the fortune 100s and what I’m hearing is somewhere between “justify all of your usage or don’t use it” to “you now get 500 bucks a month, go over that and you’re getting it revoked”

I’m confused as to why the writer is blacking out blocks of text like default credentials are some kind of clearance requiring secret.

Off and on topic I guess but: Language and Thermodynamics? Like, the same book? That sounds interesting.

It’s incredibly ridiculous that it won’t help with that for me either sometimes but yet I’m also sitting on 3 surefire ways of jailbreaking Opus 4.8 that I use for cybersecurity assessments and pentesting
