duh.

Computers don’t think they process, those are very different activities.

You speak so authoritatively about quality and performance of these models, yet there are no quantitative metrics that correlate to real world outcomes that indicate that the quality and performance of these models is anything but subjective noise and classic benchmark nonsense.

A company consumed half a billion dollars worth of tokens in a month and nobody noticed anything until the bill came due.

Tha $500m dollars is roughly equivalent to 2000 people working for a year or 500 people working for four years, they can and would accomplish a lot if they worked in companies that add value to the economy by solving real problems.

Your response shows how much trouble the west is in, you are completely missing the fact that this is the leading edge of a petroleum supply shortage that is going to have significant and painful effects on all those who are not prepared.

At this point the United States is the least prepared country in the world and Americans are going to be the hardest hit, simply because we have the most to lose.

Papering over the canary in the coal mine never saved the coal miners.

(Edit spelling)

Why the hell do you people know your IQ? That test is a joke, there’s zero rigor to it. The reason it’s meaningless is exactly that, it’s meaningless and you wasted your time.

Why one would continue to know or talk about the number is a pretty strong indicator of the previous statement.

What are you talking about, there’s zero impact from these thing so far.

This is such a BS response, first just because a job isn’t physically exhausting doesn’t mean it’s not challenging and mentally exhausting.

Second, our job in technology is to make ALL jobs easier, that’s what technology is for, not for bullshit manipulative, addictive and extractive consumer crap. The reason any of it even exists is to improve the productivity of humans.

There will always be demanding jobs, they may be demanding physically, or mentally or both, your god damn job is to figure out how to make every one of those jobs easier and LESS physically and mentally challenging.

Pointing out the obvious fact that using different metrics other jobs are harder is neither helpful, valuable nor unique.

I will however agree with you last statement, technologies abuse of people in the consumer app space is anti-social and destructive to the world, those are “jobs” we created with technology. In a sense you might say we are responsible for creating the worst jobs in the world, because as easy and valueless as being an influencer is, it destroys people mentally and turns people into shells of human beings.

So instead of trying to imply that all your fellow engineers are a bunch of whiny soft and weak complainers, you should be both simultaneously grateful that there are jobs that are physically easy and obligated to help those whose jobs still aren’t easy make as much of their jobs as easy as possible.

We live in a society we are ALL dependent on each other, specialization is what allows us to have large complex societies, without it we would all be trying to find food and build shelter. We can ONLY have our jobs because others do theirs, never forget that, that fact creates an OBLIGATION not a comparison.

Software is the connective tissue of the world, generating mediocre quality results (which will be the best outcome if you don’t really understand what you are looking at) is not just lazy it can be dangerous, do the worlds best engineers make mistakes? Of course they do, but that’s why building high quality software is collaborative process you have to work with others to build better systems. If you aren’t, you are wasting your time.

As of now (and this could change, but that doesn’t change the moral and ethical obligations), software engineers are richly rewarded specifically because they should be able to write and understand high quality code, the code written is the foundation of how our entire modern world is built.

Real quiet in here on the comments, can’t figure out why he’s acting like this right?

Maybe because he’s attacking the country on behalf of some other world power

Just common sense

As is the case that Trump, Musk, Vance and Thiel are Russian assets.

It’s just common sense to use Trumps own words.

Just remember that as these people drag us into a war for “peace”

The most likely explanation is fraud

Why hasn’t the US announced anything like this?

As it should be, a political executive branch is not a democracy it’s a monarchy

This is amazing fun!

Duopoly’s produce excessive regulation as a means of protection.

Duopolies grow out slow growth, once the pie stops growing stealing customers is hard and is a zero sum game, reaching a comfortable stasis which then becomes the status quo is how organisms in these environments behave

Your are conflating asset price inflation and cost inflation, they are not the same. Apple could lose $2T in market cap next week, the cost of the fab would not be discounted in the same way.
