Sure, I just don't think his windfall is based on an IPO. He's got it setup so he gets paid regardless what happens to OpenAI.

Anthropic: Our product is leaps ahead. We provide the best tools.

Government: stop selling your tools. They are too good.

Anthropic: our tools are not better than anyone else's. I don't even know why you guys use our stuff.

I know very well how to code, and that's why the AI isn't useful.

If I need to document how something works, the clearest, most succinct way to describe it is often with code. Using natural language to try to specify things is a step backwards.

I think the sooner people realize/admit LLMs are not AI and have little to do with AI, the better we'll all be.

LLMs are stochastic token generators. While machine learning might be used to train them, the LLMs do not actually perform anything related to AI. Claiming LLMs are AI powered is like claiming my car is AI powered because machine learning was used when designing for air flow.

Altman doesn't own equity in OpenAI. He profits from a modest salary and various complicated financial relationships he has with companies OpenAI either received investments from or pays for services.

The subtext of "working on hard things" is that you must work on things an LLM cannot do.

Lol. You sound like the literal hundreds of junior devs I've worked with over the years that believe youth is compatible with wisdom.

I am am an experienced engineer. I don't apply for jobs. Jobs apply for me.

That's basically what I've been doing, but at this point most people are telling me the problem is I am using free models.

I'm definitely not going to pay for something that can't provide a free working demo.

Written communication is something those developers have been doing for 20+ years. You don't skip hiring a talented engineer because he and one coworker don't communicate well. It's managements job to work through communication issues.

By all means, ignore the early signals from those best positioned to provide them and wait for an official government report in a few years that doesn't know where we went wrong.

Journeymen plumbers make like $70k/year. Six figures for master plumbers. $45/hr is around the typical wage floor for a union plumber.

There are plenty of blue collar jobs that pay well. Just look for a job your minimum wage desk jockeys look down upon and you'll often find they make decent money.

It's not about having time to teach comprehension as much as it is the low expectations that don't demand kids read entire books.

Nowadays, kids will often be assigned excerpts instead of full works. Unless the kid reads for fun, they are not developing their reading comprehension.

From what I've seen, they could stand up and read the words aloud, for the most part. But they would have no idea what they just read. They could not answer questions about it or interpret the work in any substantial way.

It's like a typical person reading an EULA. You can read and understand almost all the words, but without training, many people won't have any idea what it says.

I almost want to become a teacher just so I can fail half of an entire class for being stupid and then tell parents that's why their kid failed.
