Comment Not surprising (Score 1) 174

The LLM models are just taking the 'average' probably if what humans would do. They have to have seen something or they can answer a question. They can't reason for themselves and they can't use logic. All they are doing is predicting the next word/token in the sentence and providing the best possible output according to the input based on what they've already seen.

Comment "Our business is changing"... (Score 3, Insightful) 45

The business sucks. At the advent of computer games, they were primarily designed to be fun by creative types. Then the businessmen came in an went full commercial. Games are now designed to serve up ads, generate revenue through loot boxes and any other psychological trick they can come up with to manipulate gamers through games. Now they are trying to completely control the industry and turn it into a monopoly so they can control everything, but I guess it didn't work like they planned.

Comment This needs to stop (Score 1) 29

If industry is going to harm society and not stop then they need regulation. It's been proven that it is harming society, and it can be directly attributed to social media. Facebook used to be a way to connect with friends, it's been a decade since it could be used for that. Now it's a way to view ads. Every metric of these companies is to waste your time and keep you glued to the screen. Most people don't realize it. The smart ones get off of the platform. These social media companies are putting a wrecking ball through society with polarization of politics and promoting false information. Do you remember Alex Jones? His platform was enabled by these companies. Any video that is controversial get's more attention and generates more ad revenue so the crackpots get their voice now and all the other idiots get to promote these ideas. Enough said, regulate it.

Comment AI is no replacement for an engineer (Score 1) 97

I have had gemini invent complete fake products that it swears are real until you ask it. Claude does a reasonable job of document translation and generation, but none of them have scope. Sometimes giving them enough scope and prompting would take about the same time to generate the document. So no, with LLM's you won't get rid of engineers. It accelerates work, that's for sure, but it doesn't replace an engineer. AI won't be able to do any testing either.

Also FYI for all you corporate overloads. ASML exists because of the expertise and they decided to invest in and retain people. They claim that even if you stole all their plans you couldn't replicate the company because the expertise comes with the people. How are you going to dump an entire persons memory into a machine? The tech does not exist currently.

Comment These will all fail and have overruns (Score 1) 250

if we don't have a better strategy for building plants. In the US we have something like 96 reactors and 48 reactor designs. The real cost is in the supply chain, countries like south korea and france have a limited number of reactor designs. We should regulate the industry to a few good reactor designs and that would reduce the cost and complexity.
