Also, I said it way before LLMs, when X started firing people. Software is more or less on maintenance mode. You don't need that many developers anymore and so many new features.

You don't need to create the next Facebook, Shopify, X etc.... Because it already exists and controls the market.

That all implies that AI won't get ( much) better anymore.

I doubt that

Uhhh you know that the paperclip problem stems from ai just following a task, not understanding what it is doing? Not from being misalignment.

I would go out a limb and say that current a could create a paperclip problem, given powerful enough tools.

Wife is from Africa, buried her dad and mom.

If she wouldn't have put down her foot, they would have sucked her dry ( our money) we set a budget and they got what they got... But I can easily see other people/ wifes not setting boundaries and spending a ton of money..

It's for companies to replace people. Works out ok for them. Even four times isn't that much
