Ignoring the lack of direction following, everything looks so plastic. Probably video game cutscene training showing through.

From the perspective of the company I work for (not a tech company, but has a pretty large development center) they truly believe that AI will 10x productivity. Not so much the FOOM stuff. Just typical Capitalism.

They would like to describe what they want and receive Whatever — some beige sludge that vaguely resembles it. That isn’t programming, though. That’s management, a fairly different job. I’m not interested in managing. I’m certainly not interested in managing this bizarre polite lying daydream machine.

This is where I am right now. They are pushing AI hard at work, even shaming people that haven't signed up for copilot. They brought in some MS rep to tell us how the future of work was going to be wrangling AI agents. This is not the future that I want.

I'm reminded of that Folding Ideas video where he writes a book for some get rich quick book mill scheme. I bet that stuff is all AI now.

yeah it's going to be the same scam only this time without those pesky regulators checking to see if it actually works and spooking the investors

they're going to try to write COBOL with AI. let's see how that works out

god damn couldn't even get past the first paragraph where he describes himself, while trying to attribute it to others

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meta-ai-users-facebook-instagram-1235221430/

Facebook and Instagram to add AI users. I'm sure that's what everyone has been begging for...

That's gold. I like it.

And by costlier he means power consumption. Ten thousand times more powerful! Still can't do basic math without handing it off to a calculator.
