They’ve grown up as programmers with AI already available to them.

Is that the same AI that's been available for barely two years?

What a drama queen.

To be fair, looking good while being downwind of Elon being at least partially correct is probably an impossible feat.

Siskind appears to be complaining about leopards gently nibbling on his face on main this week, the gist being that tariff-man is definitely the far-rights fault and it would surely be most unfair to heap any blame on CEO worshiping reactionary libertarians who think wokeness is on par with war crimes while being super weird with women and suspicious of scientific orthodoxy (unless it's racist), and who also comprise the bulk of his readership.

It's a transcription, you aren't just checking for spelling mistakes.

Having to listen to the recording of the session again and again while reading the generated transcription to make sure everything written was actually said and not invented or paraphrased certainly seems to negate any benefit gained from using these legally mandated tools.

Maybe It's just CEO dick measuring, so chads Nadella and PIchai can both claim a rock hard 20-30% while virgin Zuckeberg is exposed as not even knowing how to put the condom on.

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott previously said he expects 95% of all code to be AI-generated by 2030.

Of course he did.

The Microsoft CEO said the company was seeing mixed results in AI-generated code across different languages, with more progress in Python and less in C++.

So the more permissive at compile time the language the better the AI comes out smelling? What a completely unanticipated twist of fate!

Said revenue estimates, as of 2026, include billions of dollars of "new products" that include "free user monetization."

If you are wondering what that means, I have no idea. The Information does not explain.

Probably something to do with their recent ramblings about getting an openai social network off the ground.

The insistence on blipping out anything even vaguely sexual (like the word orgasm) to appease the kami of the algorithm is really off putting after a while.

I thought he might be doing a bit but it doesn't feel like it. Also he speaks like old comic word balloons where they would randomly bold every third noun to show intensity.

Conversely, people who may not look or sound like a traditional expert, but are good at making predictions

The weird rationalist assumption that being good at predictions is a standalone skill that some people are just gifted with (see also the emphasis on superpredictors being a thing in itself that's just clamoring to come out of the woodwork but for the lack of sufficient monetary incentive) tends to come off a lot like if an important part of the prediction market project was for rationalists to isolate the muad'dib gene.

To be clear, it's well known L Ron Hubbard quote originally about starting a religion, to my knowledge Altman didn't really say that.

I'll just make a wild assumption that the author of that post is also a raging antisemite who thinks the jews control the world, so being jew-unaligned is probably a point of virtue in his book.

Also I bet the non-secular jews were in actuality not that crazy about Russia either and he just means judeobolshevism.
