Fuck the company’s future if you can get rich now, am I right? Never underestimate human greed.

Always funny to see managers have the “fuck it” mindset, which they hate so much in their employees.

Except they are paid to do exactly that: care about the company and it’s future.

That as well

Also, hyperscale models are opinionated and don’t like certain topics. Home-grown AI doesn’t have those objections.

Unless you create or review the training data and train your model yourself, home grown AI models do have those objections.

Got a point there. If it’s equally sophisticated it may be tricked easily.

The problem is this sounds like a job to do it regularly just to throw off their algorithm.

Something should also tell you that there’s a direct incentive for companies to make it as easy as possible to spend money on their services.

Pigboy doesn’t care. He got his paycheck.

But you need to understand, preventing deaths doesn’t make Google any money. Please think about the poor corporation!

If it’s in the code, it’s a bug. If it’s not used, then remove it entirely. Everything in the code should be treated as operational.

They understand the theories and underlying principles, but the sheer amount of data makes it impossible to actually verify it.

An ELI5 comparison would be a hill of stones: you know when you throw more stones onto it, a “landslide” will occur and rearrange the hill. For a very small hill of 10 stones you may even be able to know input and output (“if I throw a stone there, the stones will be like this after the landslide”). But you cannot predict the same for a hill of 1000000 stones, even tho the “rules” are the same. You know what will happen, but you have no way to predict the outcome, or verify that everything went as expected.

The theory / math is not the problem. The scale is.

I thought billionaires are like über businessmen. How comes he cannot handle some competition?

Great. If you ignore that you still have a 40-50 years old car at that point. It’s not like EV was the only invention over the past 5 decades.

That’s actually quite easy to explain. Reddits entire monetary value (or at least a very large portion) depends on how relevant it is as platform to mine user interactions - to use as training material for AI.

Reddit getting references less is a sign that the models, or the owning companies, value reddit data less compared to before.

Do we work for the same company? Exactly same story here. Also just botched the Oracle to Aurora migration.

He’s definitely also not a “fixes the bug himself” CEO.

We can pretend he’s different. I can freely admit that I like to think he’s different. But no way in hell is he fixing any kind of problem, that arises in the middle of the night, himself.

My parents’ Switch has a multi-page settings menu, an online account and subscription, even games that come on cartridge often require downloads and updates before you start playing.

Two-fold problem: a) give the consumer freedom of choice b) make it difficult enough to successfully set it up once, and then stay locked in

That’s both by accident (provide freedom choice) and by design (lock them as long as possibile).

People who know programming already, yes. People who are getting into it / want to get into it, see it as an amazing shortcut.

I had two working students already, who thought and communicated that they don’t really need to learn programming, because they can do it with ChatGPT / Q. It was quite infuriating.
