It may be hard to believe but I am not a ‘tech bro’
“If you look closely you might notice I am wearing a fedora, indicating that I am in fact a technology fraternatarian, you peasant.”
Musk objects to the "stochastic parrot" labelling of LLMs. Mostly just the stochastic part.
oh, absolutely. I mean you could sub out "LLM" with any bullshit that management can easily spring on their understaff. Agile, standups, return to office, the list goes on. Management can get fucked
"This study that I didn't read that has a real methodology for evaluating LLM usefulness instead of just trusting what AI bros say about LLM usefulness is wrong, they should just trust us, bros", that's you
They’re also (indirectly) competing with Umamusume: Pretty Derby, which offers zero P2E elements, but does offer horse waifus and actual entertainment value. Needless to say, we both know who’s winning this particular fight for people’s cash.
It's almost as if people don't want to spend money on bland low-poly 3D models of horses and would instead prefer waifu art with surprisingly intricate character design that I definitely do not know anything about*
*I actually do not, but for the bit, pretend that I do and am being defensive
. Debate me bro? (jk)
Are these entry-level developers that are merely half as good as expert human unassisted developers in the room with us right now?
Megacorp LLM death spiral:
- Megacorp managers at all levels introduce new LLM usage policies.
- Productivity goes down (see study linked in post)
- Managers make the excuse that this is due to a transitional period in LLM policies.
- Policies become mandates. Beatings begin and/or intensify.
- Repeat from 1.
Great. First, my AI girlfriend drops her tables because I ran out of tokens, and I can't buy more tokens because I can't write code anymore, because Cursor is too expensive. Next, you'll be telling me I can't jork it to LLM hentai! I mean, what are even doing here??? (jk)
I mean, if a lawyer uses LLMs as counsel, that might cause a judge to stay the proceedings to tell that lawyer to get their shit together and be professional. Or if a company slaps AI into their mission statement, that could stay their stock price for a while until investors lose faith or they pivot to the next bubble. In that sense, "AI is here to stay."
A random thought occurred to me that Veo is probably “better” at being prompted with something like “the scene from X movie but with Y instead of Z” as it is a plagiarism engine first and foremost. I will never investigate this hypothesis, nor will I hold onto it past typing it here.
