@ZachWeinersmith I think the main problem here is nomenclature: AI is a marketing term that confuses useful and well established things such as neutral networks with wasteful and ethically horrible things such as the so call genAI, aka the "robbery+exploration+pollution machine". GenAI is definitively A1, the rest... it depends.
@ZachWeinersmith Somewhere between A1 and A2, depending on what is meant by "AI".
@ZachWeinersmith For LLMs A1. The only thing they’re really good at is spam and they’re not even very good at that. As for coding, the supposed LLM silver bullet… A tool that is wrong 30-40% of the time in subtle ways that only an expert can discern is not a useful tool. I just hope the VCs run out of money before we lose an entire generation of engineering pipeline.
@ZachWeinersmith A2 leaning to A1, I can’t wait for the bubble to burst.
@ZachWeinersmith C2. AI is the more useful superset of LLMs. If it wasn't LLMs being leveraged by bunker billionaires it would be something else.
@ZachWeinersmith
The Tech: C3
The misanthropes running the businesses: A1
@ZachWeinersmith Am I the lonely C2?
