That's why developers have UI/UX and design experts assigned to them. That's why Figma exists. CSS was an attempt to not have to deal with styling. It failed, and landed in the other direction.

LLMs refuse to give the recipe for making meth. That, along with the various other unspeakable things, is the less-doom version.

you aren't, but there are other people out there that are having their agent write 100% of the code. Yes, there's a lot of people that aren't but also there are a lot of people that are. I don't think we can get an objective answer. I know we want cold hard facts, but turns out software in the real world contains more reading of star charts and tea leaves than we'd care to admit.

Huh? The difficulty and the cost was stopping them before. It was really difficult, took a ton of time and money, and you had to deal with another person.

we'll see if regulators get away with saying you must be able to buy a ryan air airfare with an LM was a stupid as opus 4.6 (the last good one). Saying you must be able to buy Ryanair airfare with an immigrant as stupid as, and then give a version number and then say "the last good one" would get the EU regulator excommunicated.

you're not supposed to spell it out loud. next thing you'll be saying that a gun type nuclear bomb is easier to build than an implosion type nuclear bomb, and then we'll all be off to the races. I mean camps I mean wait shit.

I don't know if we "had" something called Theranos. In fact, I believe that was the subject of a couple of lawsuit because we didn't.

So is the "idea" of microchips in vaccines. Should we just give up and let everything else have the PR advantage

> would have to be worth $1500/hr which is higher than the take-home (not billable) of senior partners at law firms.

40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, that's only $3 million/yr. If you've been at OpenAI for 10 years, you'll net more than that this year after they IPO.

No, you run an entire second pass LLM over the output of Whisper. "no uhhh three no four." should just output four the numeral not even f.o.u.r.

Hi, my name is fragmede. Judging by the date on my computer it's been four months since it's since I've t touched the transcription directory on computer and tried to improve on the state of wisprflow. Mines pretty good but it just doesn't... ah you can't drag me back in.

The "look", of course, is completely bullshit. Release the model, give licensing terms, sue the ever living daylights of anyone who's hosting it without agreeing to those daylights, and move on. This vertical integration shit that we're all enamored with is bullshit. Even Amazon has their own vans inside of UPS being their own thing? No wonder stepmom porn is on the rise.
