“Clients” usually are even worse offenders than these extractive scam companies, mostly because the “clients” are playing with someone else’s money, usually the taxpayer.

Going back to the subject: Have you ever been clinically depressed or dealt with people in that predicament? Getting up from the bed is already a huge win for that day, let alone exercising and doing it consistently and regularly. Even taking medication regularly can be a hit or miss.

So, yeah the prescription is easy to write and thank god it's real and effective, but that's only ~5% of the work.

Linus is pro-AI as a tool ( and I mostly agree, there are consequences however that at least need to be talked about ). That's why I was talking about firing up those AI machines and fix those CVEs ( "make no mistakes" ).

But it seems every Linux topic related to security or languages is the ultimate mine field for knee-jerk reactions. :)

I don't consider this a tragedy, it's just unearthing the reality.

Life is good, I guess.. Java people should start sweating.

Yes, in non-popular places in Europe those are also quite uncommon, even more then in the US on average..

So the lesson here is that those type of crimes are common in tourist heavy places, like.. Times Square in NYC for example.

Because most automations never capture the complete scope of the job/task ( not even close ). Just like neurons, if you don't use it you lose it and when the inevitable problems come, nobody knows the why, the how and the what. At that point someone smart would incorporate all those real costs and opportunity loses on the "automating everything" equation. But they usually don't.

Of course automating tasks is a must, but it's very far from being a black and white situation. These dynamics have been happening for centuries by now, nothing new.

Also, Google is a multi-billion dreadnought with hundreds of millions of dollars for PR, lawyers and lobbying every year. I'm sure they can take a post about someone "whining" and quitting their job in disagreement. Something tells me Google be fine...

It's safe to say the companies are not in the market bracket, no?

The jury is still out on that.

Let's hope they don't get overconfident with Gemini and pull a MS Copilot..

It's an interesting "newcomer" and the more the better but calling this a "beast" and a "game changer" is ridiculous to say the least.

Then there is the price..

Of course every AI company has been over promising and pumping the numbers as much as possible but OpenAI has been hitting the reality wall more because both their people not being able to keep improving at a faster rate and their whole cost structure and financial plates spinning.

This doesn't invalidate the fact Anthropic is also overhyped to the max for their IPO.

Fortunately everyone will laugh and cringe, the usual car "journalists" will bite their tongues because they don't want to lose access, time will pass and it will be forgotten because Ferrari can afford to make these mistakes ( for now.. )

The only complain I have ( not really directed at the article, but.. ) is to put all these theories and somewhat private experiments into the same room as pure gambling schemes turbocharged by "the algorithm" and political corruption.

While far from Heaven's gates, some guy trying to predict the price of corn next year is not in the same plane as those who had the "very original" idea every guy in his early 20s had at some point but never went further because he read some articles about "the law". Like it or not, the laws or the remnants of it were put in place due to the obvious degenerate attitudes and it's consequences gambling was always known for.

And no, it's not a "market", even Uber appears to have some usefulness to offset all the lying, corruption and criminality they had to do in order to become what they are. These ones don't even take you places other than gambler addiction.

End of run, sorry.

Not to invalidate these benchmark results because they are useful, but the real usefulness it what they are capable to do when real people interact with them at scale.

Regardless, these are good news, because now that Microsoft is basically giving up their all-in strategy with Github's Copilot and Anthropic is playing the "I'm too good for you" game, it's about time for them to get pressed into not making this AI world into a divide between the haves and the have-nots.

I'm a paying customer and I did not receive ANY communication about this. Was using Opus this afternoon and then it disappeared.

Microsoft really can't stop being Microsoft. I don't dispute the need to charge more for those models, but there is a basic decency to do things and as usual the Big Tech fuckery and complete lack of morals makes them do this in a way that generates total mistrust where it could be just annoyance.

I'll see how Sonnet handles the most difficult problems but I'm foresee a subscription cancelation soon.
