It was ridiculous, it took 100,000 years. If you built a recursively analyzing and improving structure out of LLM bits and it took 100,000 years to get to the moon, somebody saying that they were useless would have been right. Call me when

It's a garbage habit that they've all fallen into. The quotes will fall away when future stories refer back to this story. That single quoted phrase was set in the context of other words, and that context defined its meaning. We k

One resignation distracted from the constant failures of AI in order to boost its value yet again, and to advocate for a particular AI company as saintly. I have yet to see a positive improvement in the world that could be blamed on AI. Why

Nah, the teacher was just wrong about the facts. If they had been right about the facts, there's nothing wrong with saying that imo. The reality was that it was the partner who should have gotten that lecture rather than the author. So
