      I think the problem they cannot solve yet is a) knowing what to do and b) knowing when it’s properly done.

      The result is possibly more output per qualified human, but with your competition having the same tool, you’re just keeping pace, not advancing.

        but with your competition having the same tool, you’re just keeping pace, not advancing.

        But isn’t that actually what most advancements have been? More things can be done with fewer people or fewer resources, competition gets it too, but overall, society advances.

        The major problem is the whole needing to have a job thing. If we all profited from this, it would be awesome, wouldn’t it

    Firstly, citation needed on the evidence to support this wild claim, secondly that is NOT a good thing for society, only for corporate overlords, and only in the extraordinarily short term. If nobody has jobs, nobody has money, if nobody has money, who the fuck is buying your shit-ass products??? These allegedly brilliant CEO clearly failed Econ101, and I’m so fucking tired of having to hear their brain-dead takes that are just wish-casting to cope over the terrible investment they’ve gone all in on.

      They didn’t fail econ 101, everything they learned taught them to do this. They don’t consider macroeconomics when making business decisions. It’s all about this quarter, baby. If shit breaks, the government picks up the bill.

        Sadly I think you’re right, and that last part is the unsustainable part; I don’t think any one of them considers what it means for them personally when this all hits the wall and comes to an abrupt halt. All those billions of dollars will be meaningless when the global economy shifts away from the US dollar as the reserve and you end up with trillion dollar bills like Zimbabwe. It’s just economic suicide, even for the owners and CEOs, but they’re so brain-rotted and coked out they can’t or won’t see it. If you ask me they belong in some sort of rehab program after their assets have been seized, or in jail. The amount of social harm done through jobs lost and economic devastation eclipses a thousand fold a street level murder, we need to start looking at financial crime differently.

    yeah I remember a year ago when they said the same. They keep moving the goal posts because they HOPE it’ll happen, but it’s not going to. LLM’s across the board, regardless of the company, have progressively become worse. They’ve sunk billions into something that simply isn’t improving and they either don’t know how to improve it or are just praying to whatever gods they believe in that it will some how magically get good.

    There’s nothing left to feed these things. For example you can go to Claude right now and ask it something so painfully simple that there’s a strong chance it’ll hallucinate a solution. not even a strong chance, a guaranteed chance. Like I just asked it “With the Fish Shell how can I get cat <<EOF > notes.txt to work?” it didn’t know how. it presented 3 options all of which were wrong. It claimed I was using an older version of Fish that doesn’t support Heredocs. that’s not true. Fish doesn’t support Heredocs at all, period, and never has.

      I agree that comments like this are just hype. However, this is what Claude responded first try when I asked it your question verbatim:

      Fish doesn’t support the <<EOF heredoc syntax — that’s a Bash/POSIX feature. Here are your options in Fish: Use printf or echo:

      printf '%s\n' \
        'line 1' \
        'line 2' \
        'line 3' > notes.txt
      

      Use begin/end with a string:

      echo "line 1
      line 2
      line 3" > notes.txt
      

      Use string with multiline input:

      string collect -- "line 1
      line 2
      line 3" > notes.txt
      

      Or just call bash inline for a one-off heredoc:

      bash -c 'cat <<EOF > notes.txt
      line 1
      line 2
      line 3
      EOF'
      

      The printf approach is generally the most idiomatic Fish way to do it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    The cognitive dissonance it must take to usher in the conditions for a communist revolution, while simultaneously bankrolling Donald Trump, proves US Big Tech is run by people who are far less smart than they think they are.

      They are smart at one thing: shortsighted profit. That is all. Everything else is an irrelevant skill.

      “Can you make our line go up?”

      “Yes, but it will tank the economy and your company with it”

      “So you can make our line go up? You’re hired!”

        True. I’m not going to let my children watch it, but I’ll be sure they read about it. If it happens, that is. The billionaires could still wise up and get good at obeying laws and respecting the commons. Except maybe they can’t because their parents didn’t raise them right?

    “CEO said something without any evidence or reason” articles that just parrot said CEO without any thought or analysis of any kind are completely pointless.
