Great point. That is what all the Fortune 500 CEO's are frothing at the mouth about. Having LLM's replace their payroll. So yeah, they deserve to fail.

Whether Trump or the next Democrat president, the US Government isn't going to allow AI to destroy our society. I'm torn with how I feel about this, on one hand, I want free markets, but on the other hand, I don't want our society to crash and burn. It was obvious, this was going to happen sooner or later.

Even if they negotiate a way out of this particular spat, this is just the start of securing this technology in the name of national security. Does this pop the bubble? What happens to the trillions invested in this AI craze? When do we outlaw Chinese models?

Exactly, that is my goal and thoughts as well. I wish you the best in these crazy times. Let's ride this wave.

Yes, yes I would prefer that. Better than a total societal collapse.

Anthropic are not the good guys either. So here’s to hoping the Chinese pop the bubble.

Exactly, where are the organizers of this movement?

No offense, but the sad thing is, everyone and their mother is working on this same problem. I'm also building a harness. It's feeling like, there is no moat, there is no way to get ahead, they will steal your idea one way or another, if you ever make it public.

I've worked with all three of the biggest models and typically have the three of them working together, Gemini is by far the worst of the three. The price hikes will keep me further away from applying them in my day to day operations.

Software will become cheaper to write and more software will be written. A senior will always outcompete a junior when it comes to logical thinking and a true understanding of IT. A programmer will always outcompete a non-programmer when it comes to using AI tools.

Bottom line, if programmers are fucked, so is just about anyone else.

If enough people have nothing left to lose, the French Revolution will most likely be the outcome. Or a working UBI. If programmers aren't safe, I can't imagine most other professions won't be on the chopping block as well.

Can confirm this with YouTube advertising. When enabled for growth, it's nothing but bot farms. When I reached out to Google about it, they acknowledged the unusual traffic but did nothing about it. They are running a huge fraudulent business.

Only after they gutted half of their employees. It probably won't be long lasting.

Just look at how he chopped up GEICO (his favorite company). The company imploded under Buffets hand picked snake of a CEO (Todd Combs).

This is very well said. I thought I was just burned out over the past several months. Truth is, I'm just reviewing AI code slop all day and I fucking hate it. It's exhausting.

The kids should not be removing some of their Dad's work. His struggles with alcoholism are well defined in the public and him describing his struggles could help another facing similar problems.
