More like 99%

I use Firefox with Noscript and I'm _totally aware_ that almost no website works without allowing it JS.

Even using Noscript it's becoming more and more exhausting every year, it's plain impossible to browse the internet without JS at all.

Why do you believe they wont? I think it's reasonable to assume that we will hit a ceiling that current models will not be able to break.

Walking and reasoning are unrelated abilities.

I understand that it is not easy to relate to the author who pays (or was paying) $150 for a house cleaner, I understand that this is a 1-person history and may be highly biased, I understand the author is motivated to create a story from it.

However, if you think that any of the conditions described in the article are acceptable or that this is a fair price to pay for having AI, I think you are a horrible human being and I hope you'll be expelled from civilized society.

Oh of course, that's the current standard, but I doubt it will be considered acceptable for much longer.

Is it, though? Can we really keep saying that "hardware will always be cheaper than human labour" when RAM prices are soaring, GPUs are becoming prohibitively expensive, and we're looking at a probably chip shortage?

I think the era of "poor software for fantastic hardware" is coming to an end.

I don't know in other countries, but in Spain you definitely don't go to the doctor asking for anything more complex than a paracetamol.

You tell the doctor your symptoms, he explores you and perform any tests considered appropriate, and the doctor decides the prescription.

If the cost is subsidized by another cash source (e.g. VC money) when the source stops prices can definitely go up.

AI may not be the source of the problem but can make it a hundred times worse.
