Well they did indeed have a coup so looks like Altman was right.

Of course they're average people, why do you think tech or AI company employees are somehow above or beyond the average person? I'm not sure why you'd willingly say you'd want snobs controlling the world, that is somehow even worse and reeks of aristocracy which is why you see replies rejecting your thoughts, it is simply not a western ideal or one to strive towards.

They're supposed to be elite. They went to the best schools, many of them have PhDs, they are getting paid insane amounts of money.


Lol. I can tell you right now they're not elite.

That's the joke.

Well I'd hope they're transformative, they're using transformers after all. We just need to pay attention to them, that's all they need.

Do they need all our attention?

I find that more realistic then, because it appears that's the trajectory we are going on with regards to AI, as a tool not a panacea.

Maybe they have ADHD because the symptoms fit, if they really do acknowledge the problem yet cannot fix it.

It's because of limited RAM that this distinction started.

On especially older phones if I were to write a long comment and move to a different tab or app before submitting, I can all but guarantee the OS would kill and try reloading the tab and lose all my text. What's even worse is this could happen mid online purchase which can have even greater consequences (double booking or purchasing especially but things like flight tickets). People who grew up with older phones saw this happen all too often and moved to a desktop or laptop computer where that literally never happens, at least by default.

This, I'd bet, is the primary reason for big vs small screen activities, although of course there are many secondary ones, such as the phone being many kids' primary interface


This still happens on Android phones with enough RAM, it drives me insane and Firefox is especially bad for this since it will literally always reload the current tab when moving back to it. Phone software is just horrible all around. Multi-tasking simply does not work on phones.

Ethics don't mean anything when talking about corporations. Their good guy persona is itself a marketing stunt.

It's simple, they'll just let the LLM debug it!

This is why I believe the need for actually good engineers will never go away because LLMs will never be perfect.


Exactly. It's a force multiplier - sometimes the direction is wrong.

Same week I went into a deep rabbit hole with Claude and at no point did it try to steer me away from pursuing this direction, even though it was a dead end.


They're saying just do it yourself instead of trying to herd an unpredictable animal to your bidding like an LLM.
