Any NZ or Aussie local to share some perspective? I’m fully OOTL

Bezos was a Senior VP by the age of 30, working for D.E. Shaw, and was a rumored heir for taking over the business after he retires. Bezos would have made billions and managed a major hedge fund. Set for life.

But that was not enough for him, he wanted to hoard hundreds of billions of wealth instead, so here we are. How perfectly healthy and in no way a mental illness.

Exactly. Ethically sourced brainrot is still brainrot

So the plan worked

Also, software development is already the best possible use case for LLMs: you need to build something abiding by a set of rules (as in a literal language, lmao), and you can immediately test if it works.

In e.g. a legal use case instead, you can jerk off to the confident sounding text you generated, then you get chewed out by the judge for having hallucinated references. Even if you have a set of rules (laws) as a guardrails, you cannot immediately test what the AI generated - and if an expert needs to read and check everything in detail, then why not just do it themselves in the same amount of time.

We can go on to business, where the rules the AI can work inside are much looser, or healthcare, where the cost of failure is extremely high. And we are not even talking about responsibilities, official accountability for decisions.

I just don’t think what is claimed for AI is there. Maybe it will be, but I don’t see it as an organic continuation of the path we’re in. We might have another dot com boom when investors realize this - LLMs will be here to stay (same as the internet did), but they will not become AGI.

Good ideas, bad actions. Dude could have been an accomplished writer or maybe even a niche politician. And he chose to blow up innocent people, and rot away in a concrete box instead

I feel the same. I will use my 2022 320i touring until it turns to dust. By then, I hope I’ll be able to afford a porsche that can fit my dog’s cage in the trunk.

I’m definitely not buying any of the newer models with giant touchscreens instead of buttons.

I’m wondering if those who think that AI will replace our jobs have ever used “AI” (LLM), because it’s not very good.

I’m currently leading a business project at a big corporation, and an AI chatbot solution got pushed into my scope by executives, to be delivered free to the client as a pilot (screwing with my budget). Either Copilot Studio is absolute garbage, or we have incompetent engineers, because they can’t get it to work for 3 weeks now.

I have a hunch that in order for the latest fancy models to vomit back barely useable answers, thousands of the world’s best engineers and PhD-s are sweating blood 24/7, while using computing power and consuming energy that would have been enough for a continent in 2019.

Meanwhile they are also burning money like crazy, with no sustainable business model in sight. I’m not saying LLMs are not to stay, but there will be a huge bust, and it will assfuck the economy and workers, while these idiots will get bailed out by Daddy Small Government.

Line must go up, always & forever.

Time invest in something safe and stable like gold

Drink verification can!

Good thing Genocide Joe was stopped

You’re right, OP is a 14 days old account with around 1200 posts, holy shit. Either a bot or a crazy person, I’m blocking them

Holy shit, just fucking stop

It’s peak neolib capitalism.

“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell”

From what I remember, it is. I read it very long ago as a kid, and I found it quite funny. Sort of a parody of popular adventure novels at that time (1930s), making fun of the usual tropes. Lot of things inspired by the writer’s own extensive travels in Western Europe and North Africa. It’s probably avaiable for pennies or free now.
