Can you please write more about it? What was the goal? Also I love the Angela Merkel method - thinking what you can do in a day or a week is fruitless as the productivity might vary. Thinking in years is too long. Think about what you can achieve in 100 days.

First thing: open a notepad window and brain dump your todo list. The rest is moo.

100% an AI wrote this. Possibly specifically to get to the top spot on HN.

Those short sentences are the most obvious clue. It’s too well written to be human.

Modern day tech journalism is just lazy, you browse a bunch of HN and reddit threads, if you're feeling it, ask ChatGPT for some stats to support your propaganda piece and hit publish. Fact check, spell check and everything else is done by AI. It's not like you have to run around the streets with camera crew, interviewing real people, so...yeah. I doubt if even they write the articles themselves, I've seen models on Huggingface for "creative, human-like writing". So maybe it was just a prompt "write me some ragebait on AI companies as I'm having a slow news day and my job is hanging by a thread"

AI trained on real time data will always and only get dumber over time. Reversion to mean of human IQ. just like every web forum ever. Eternal September.

That’s why gen 1-3 AI felt so smart. It was trained on the best curated human knowledge available. And now that’s done it’s just humanities brain dumps left to learn from.

2 ways out: self referential learning gen 1-3 AIs. Or, Pay experts to improve datasets and not training with general human data. Inputs and outputs.

Forgot to account for survivor bias.

Without accounting for that this is just bad science. It adds too many variables to make meaningful conclusions outside of feel good nonsense.

It's the same ad campaign Samsung did with the charger and headphone jack after Apple ditched them. Let's see if they hold out longer than what Samsung did back then.

PlayStation also used this style of ad when Xbox first tried to go all digital.
