I hope so. I would never bow down to such a god.

One way to look at the current AI economics is that consumers and businesses are subsidizing training for super intelligence only available to government.

Do you think Claude and GPT refuse doing calculations for the national ignition facility? Or for STRATCOM?

Mark my words: AI will only be allowed to destroy the software engineering profession, but somehow protectionism will be enforced for everything else in the name of “safety” and “fairness”.

Antigravity harness seems much worse than Codex. Argon seems very knowledgeable but very sloppy. If I force it to self review it will catch its own errors and laziness.

Don’t be daft. All that man power would be excellent for bolstering the army and invading neighboring countries.

I imagine a human body will still be cheaper and more agile than robots for a long while.

How can anyone with children be intense (at work) is beyond me.

Just talking about salaries, revenue, and stock IN AMERICA.

Doubtlessly Chinese manufacturing benefited tremendously from those advancements. But my point is the headline whinging about AI in America would also apply to Tech in America.

End of ZIRP, tax law changes, post-COVID inflation, and general economic malaise from federal mismanagement.

There are too many confounders.

I think you could say the same thing of tech and the economy prior to AI.

No Signs of Tech Payoff Outside the Tech Sector. Manufacturing, basic science, education, etc languished while Big Tech reaped record profits and achieved stock heights for the last 15 years.

Article seems to answer the question: because generated text has the competing objective of information density and supporting reasoning chains.

But I also wonder why AI loves to add slogans, catch phrases, and witty sentence fragments. It’s grating and a dead giveaway of slop.

Good thing IQ has nothing to do with solving novel programming or architectural puzzles :)

Verbalizing my thoughts as I try to solve a problem drops my IQ down by like 20 points at least.

Cool when asked what I do I’ll say I’m an unemployed code monkey instead.

You’re just saying that because you think you’re clever, making your little mathematical quip rather than looking into the actual data and argument.

People clearly have preconceived conclusions and they don’t have an interest in learning any facts.

Look, I’m not going to rebut each of your points one by one. Ask AI to steelman both sides and learn the facts for yourself. Then you can decide.

But that last point about SAT is just too much for me. Just because the study controlled for SAT score doesn’t mean private education does not impact SAT score. In fact there is a correlation. And even causation. You can dig into the data yourself.
