I think we have to treat the algorithm as a medical tool here, whose maintenance will be prioritised as such. So your premise is similar to "If all the scalpels break...".

I’m think you might agree, though, that the likelihood of one premise is significantly greater than the other!

I anticipate a control issue, where agents can produce code faster than people can analyze and beside applications with small visible surfaces, nobody will be able to check what is going on

I saw people with trouble manipulating boolean tables of 3 variables in their head trying to generate complete web applications, it will work for linear duties (input -> processing -> storage) but I highly doubt they will be able to understand anything with 2nd order effects

To be fair, 3 booleans (2^3=8) is more working memory than most people are productive with. Way more if they’re nullable :)

Fortunately with LLM's we can generate data and not store it. If you think about it that means articles could always be relevant with additional details added as time goes on.

No, the reality of this situation is that people need to save a snapshot of what the LLM said when they read it, just in case they need to substantiate it or blame someone for what they read at the time.

I know this really bugs some people but every tech company these days has a demonym for its employees.

It doesn't mean that employees have some cultlike adoration for the company. It's just very convenient inside the company to have a single short word to refer to all employees of the business.

> a single short word

> “Automattician”

The word you’re looking for is employee.

It's influencer culture. It's like when people watch those "software developer" youtubers and pretend it's educational. It's reality television for computer people.

I would definitely shit my pants frequently if it wasn’t for the discomfort. Practical concerns aside. Smart, yet stinky parenting technique.

Wouldn’t they just start pissing literally anywhere, though?

tylerrobinson · 6 months ago
Yes, they will pee anywhere because their whole lives they’ve been covered in a soft diaper. But it doesn’t take long for them to learn that is an uncomfortable feeling in normal underwear and there’s an incentive to use the toilet.

> Rouch said that “the whole space is learning” but emphasized that “authenticity really matters.”

The dissonance is just wild.

> “This is a celebration of human creativity and an extension of human creativity,” Rouch says, addressing the decision not to use AI-generated content in the final product.

The mental gymnastics! Our product changes everything, except this ad, because we know that people hate inauthenticity in communication.

In addition to GOOG-411, this brings back memories of ChaCha search via SMS.

You could text a question to CHA-CHA (242-242) and someone would google it for you as a human search engine!

> And EV batteries turn out to be very recyclable.

Can someone explain what it is that makes batteries wear out to begin with, and what has to be added back to make them work again after they’re shredded into “black mass”?
