Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.
As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.
Something like this needs density. If there's not enough people using it, then the per use cost will be far too much to make it economically viable. That makes cities much more attractive to startups like this. Of course there you have airspace issues with large buildings, so the true sweet spot may be relatively dense but very high income suburbs. But it sure as heck won't be rural.
It's not just EA or even IBM that churns through people like this. I can name a half dozen companies in my city that do the same.
I've made the job hunt continuous for this very reason. You can't expect loyalty, or even be loyal, but you can expect the role to end so I personally feel it's better to be the one choosing when that happens.
It's well past time that IT was unionized, mostly because the young people coming into IT don't really know how to negotiate. It's not their fault however it drags IT down salaries for everyone else. Then there are more subtle things like ergonomics and people over-working and importing that fucking brain dead 996 attitude as if IT work is comparable to a production line.
Maybe union isn't the right concept to some however the biggest issue that all techs have is an under representation in political circles so no one that matters gives a fuck about our concerns which means that all of us are ripe for exploitation from the moment we start our careers.
The churn you see is the externality IT professionals face because we have never got our house in order.
In all, there's no real reason to change it.
Exactly my point.
Can't we go all in this time? Global time? Make it metric in the process. 0 days is at midnight. 1 is right before the next day starts. Global, as in 0 is midnight at Mar-o-laga.
Decidays, centidays, millidays,
Time is already 0 at midnight, epoch time is a pretty good global time. We could standardised time on the amount of degrees in a circle. 0 for midnight, 360 for 6am, 720 midday, 1080 6pm and back.
This will not end well.
You can do that with github and many of the others as well. My employer has a private github.
Why is this a problem?
I do not want my software censoring anything I make.
Neoliberalism and liberalism are two totally different things.
Except it really isn't. The stuff from 2 years ago is miles ahead from the stuff 5 years ago. The stuff from 1 years ago is yards ahead of 1 year ago. The stuff from 6 months ago is nearly indistinguishable from the stuff from a year ago. Diminishing returns is hitting hard and rapidly. Many experts think that LLMs are closing in on their technical limitations, regardless of how much extra compute its given. It will need entirely new techniques to actually become much more than it is now. Which may happen, but doesn't appear to be on the horizon.
A study you can't even directly link to? Yeah, I call bullshit.
And my personal experience is it's at least a 50% slow down. I have yet to ever have it do anything not completely trivial that wasn't badly insecure and broken, and when using them to provide static analysis the false positive rate is around 90%.
No, those who aren't willing are actually following the science. Every measurement so far, every actual study has shown AI code generation is 20% or more slower for senior engineers. Even scaleai, a company founded and run by Meta's AI chief, shows the same in their data (https://scale.com/leaderboard/rli). Possibly it will someday get there, but it sure as hell isn't ready yet.
Ai will just shine the light on the class of workers who have make-work just that exist solely to push them to vote harder.
When we can let markets replace them, itâ(TM)ll be a tragedy for a few generations and then it will be forgotten.
Also, Android is an open source OS. You can always run it on a modified OS that pretends to have secure storage but logs all data sent to it.
Still trivially though for any talented reverse engineer. Somewhere in the code they have a function that checks if they think they're 18 and returns a boolean. Change the function to always return true. It would be harder if it was sending the image up to the server to analyze, but local is easy to break.
Nothing happens.
