How about opening the link before commenting? The second sentence is "I AM AN EMT".

Sadly in current year, whenever tech companies say they aren't going to do something that means they are going to do it in two different ways and try to hide them both.

That's what happens when you live in a company, not a country.

IMO it is their FULL responsibility to create an internet just for humans before they go full scale autonomy here with agents that are indistinguishable from humans to most actual humans. It is very dangerous there will be no safe place to obtain information you can just trust. For example, the recent earthquakes in Indonesia. I was scared to share that information with others because it looked like it could be AI and was only being shared by small accounts.

I was driving my mom's brand new Mercedes suv on a family road trip (for perspective I have a 2006 diesel van with 300k+ miles on it). Absolutely hated the thing. The worst was I was causing on the highway atb74mph and that auto adjust crap slowed ke down to 30mph! On the highway! Not sure if it was a service bug or what but kinda terrifying.

It is a tricky situation isn't it? We wouldn't have gotten where we are without fossil fuels, but now we realize they are not sustainable to be dependent on and we cannot continue this level of growth. I don't think it is actually possible using current means to power what we have come to know as a "first-world lifestyle" for the majority of the planet.

Apple is a marketing company now, not an innovative tech company. They will wait until model progress is not moving in such quick progressive strides then create a new flagship product by rebadging [top model] to match their aesthetic and increase the price 3x.

I wonder what a similar study will look like for those who enjoy competitive online gaming into their old age. If the microplastics do not get to our brain first, of course.

Speaking about optimization, is Windows just too far gone at this point? It is comical the amount of resources it uses at "idle".

A lot more bad logic will get by the smell test when you have 1 staff member vibe-coding. And just wait until he is held to that level of zero-test, lowest hanging fruit productivity as being "normal".

"a single staff engineer with experience and a trusty LLM is similarly productive as a team of 2-4 junior engineers"

I think we are SEVERELY underestimating the amount of slop that is going to come from this.
