The 1st year graduate may get better, and some day be capable of reviewing code! Claude's gonna hit a wall soon, and when you retire there'll be nobody left to review Claude's code, and nobody's going to know why everything stopped working.

The obsession with AI is an existential crisis for a society to rely on technology that a very small minority understands.

They are *really good* autocomplete. They guess wrong *all the time*. Using them as more then autocomplete is a serious liability, as the woman in the summary found out.

Pick One. Or maybe None.

If this were true, then OpenAI would probably be profitable in its first 10 years -- by their own admission they're losing money hand over fist, and they're asking users not to use words like 'please' and 'thank you' because it increases their costs.

I suspect it'll eventually be per-prompt or per-token billing, because for heavy users even $200 a month would be a loss

I feel like there's a market gap for a "no-ai" search engine; just behave like google did in the "don't be evil" days, and i feel like it would get very popular very quickly.

I really need some qualifications on "a better internet". An internet that's full of soulless slop and questionable information, maybe.

The app is called MAX, and it says that in the first sentence of the article.

Sure, assuming the infrastructure to support this doesn't end up costing more. Transaction fees on crypto currency tend to be nuts (which is why it's only speculated on, and not actually used as a currency)

The truth never stopped Slashdot commenters before, and it sure isn't going to now.

We tried that. It didn't go well.

The big rule of LLMs is
Accurate, reliable, helpful, pick 0

An LLM is a neural network, and a neural network is a pattern matcher. Try not to be so condescending.

You're right, that number is absurd. I guess my brain autocorrected it to "the price was 1500% of what it should be"

Drug prices are absurdly high, and in many cases don't have to be. Same with many medical supplies and procedures -- the indirection caused by insurance (most people don't directly pay full price) has really screwed up the economics

https://www.costplusdrugs.com/ is an example of an effort to compete, and I hope it's successful.
