I wonder what the AI would think of the weeks I spent tracing requirements in DOORS every day. Mind numbingly boring, but stuff that needed to be done since automation at that time was not sufficient. Or is the AI basing "too much work" on its own runtime exceeding 40 hours a week on the same repetitive task? I suspect pattern matching coming up with false equivalencies when trying to find the most relevant match for something. Not like I've ever seen an LLM do that before...

Yeah, and this one got me because I wanted to know how any judge actually qualifies human intelligence, which the article had nothing to do with. Smack myself on the hand for believing the article title :p

I live in a 1966 house that is fairly up to date and the estimated (take that with a grain of salt) value has doubled in the past ~10 years. We used to live in basically the same house as you, same age, ungrounded outlets, one more bathroom, that house has an estimated value that has gone up 3x in the past 10 years. Our current house is on the edge of the city and country, a few minutes further from everything, a much quieter area where we prefer to live. The previous house is in the middle of the suburbs. Just a one off case but I feel like location plays a bit more than quality of the house when it comes to value.

From the summary, it seems like the judge is ruling that AIs are not human and not official lawyers, therefore they do not qualify as either. I don't see anything stating the judges think the AI does not have human intelligence.

Pretty much the same here. Our neighbors can get AT&T and Comcast, but we are one house down the side road and only Spectrum runs lines down here (we are less than 50 feet from them and there are a couple dozen more homes before the dead end). We pay $90 for internet that struggles to try to meet the supposed 100 MB, and hasn't been stable since they upped our speed (and bills) from 25 MB.

Basically my thoughts. Is it the appeal of physical media, or the increasing enshittification as streaming services fracture, remove content, increase prices... I need to stop talking about all the crap they are doing.

I think (/s) AIs just gravitated to market speak during its training. AI has spent years training on the internet, market speak has been developed to misdirect with meaningless words for centuries.

Agreed, when I say chasing its tail I'm not talking about a simply output to the command line (which I really wasn't clear on). I created a program that generates a maze using Kruskal's algorithm with C++ and asked Claude to convert this to intel assembly with comments to cover where the equivalent functions and variables would be to make it easier for a class to match the assembly with the C++. It mostly worked, but Claude kept chasing one bug in circles until I realized what it was doing wrong and pointed out where the actual problem was. The LLM is quite good, but it has a tendency to get stuck and need help getting back out more than I like.

I've used LLMs for generating web interfaces and it does pretty good. Try to get it to code in assembly or have a container log traffic between other containers and the LLM will keep chasing it's tail trying to fix bugs.

Like our touchscreen that occasionally puts up a nag screen to watch the road while driving. I usually don't even notice it until I've started driving and I have to look at the screen to find the button to dismiss it so the clock shows up again.

This is my thought. Being somewhat pedantic I feel like oversold is not quite right as there is still value in what they are selling, but they are going overboard on the costs to provide the degree. Many local/State colleges are still more than worthwhile.

Repeating somewhat a recent post. I bought a pretty powerful gaming desktop 8 or 10 years ago. Now it still runs all of the games I play (short of like Starfield but it will run Cyberpunk 2077 fairly well). Until the computer is not fast enough I don't need a new one and if someone hacks my machine, a bunch of computer games is not a great loss. What value is Win 11? Not the price of replacing the hardware in this desktop to me.

Investment into a chip startup. What is that these days, like investing $500 toward someone learning an advanced degree?

Oh my gaming computer will not be replaced for some time until it is worth updating it, even if Micro$soft thinks otherwise. If someone hacks it, not much of value will be lost. Note most of my games are indie games that run just fine on a computer that was near top of the line eight years ago.

notepad++ just feels a little heavy for note windows, but if notepad gets worse, it might be the better option.
