<p>I really like your core point. I don't know anything about Suno and that's what people are picking at, but I'll offer a supporting example from pre-LLM days: the number of people who were actually willing to dig through source code was nonexistent. I've worked in ML/AI since forever and I would say roughly 1 in 5 to 1 in 20 developers I've worked alongside were actually willing to just go to Github and look up why code might be failing and get to the bottom of it.<p>The same is true for LLMs. You can get Claude to spew 2,000 lines of garbage in 15 minutes, but the number of developers actually willing to sit there and reason over the output and make the tweaks--often very minimal tweaks--that make it go from 90% correct to 100% correct are vanishingly few. And it's typically just laziness and a lack of any kind of genuine interest in the field.</p>

<p>Not long ago I started having an issue with my eye. I called around and they said I should get seen ASAP, same day if possible, but it wasn’t worth the ER and it was a five day wait for an appointment.<p>I was pretty freaked out. During that time, I tried diagnosing it with AI. When I finally got to the appointment, the actual doctor sat down, looked at all the unremarkable images, asked me one (1) question, ordered another image and diagnosed the issue. When I looked back, in all that time, the AI had mentioned it exactly one time early on, ruled it out immediately based on a flawed understanding of the symptoms, and never brought it up again.<p>Just my anecdotal evidence, but I’d never trust any AI on its own.  My doctor can use it if they want, I can’t.</p>

<p>They both suck, but one of them literally harvests organs from political prisoners.<p>I’m honestly torn on which one I’d pick, but there’s a TON of likely state-sponsored pro-China propaganda on the internet, so I consider it a patriotic duty to push back for the sole reason that we can still freely talk shit about the one (for the time being, as long as you don’t mention the blessed martyr Charlie Kirk), whereas the other blocks the internet and imprisons people for dissent.</p>

<p>Buried pretty deep in the article<p>> “The raw output of ChatGPT’s proof was actually quite poor. So it required an expert to kind of sift through and actually understand what it was trying to say,” Lichtman says. But now he and Tao have shortened the proof so that it better distills the LLM’s key insight.<p>I guess “ChatGPT came up with a novel approach to a problem that later turned out not to be totally stupid and terrible for once” isn’t as catchy of a headline</p>

<p>My company has four (4) vibe-coded dashboards to monitor AI tool usage.<p>We have made no revenue, let alone profit from any AI feature. However, some  curiously under qualified people have been hired into new “AI” themed roles with seven or eight figure comp, and we seem to be preparing for major layoffs in the next 30-60 days. Presumably those new roles will be safe.</p>

<p>I switched from Windows to Linux because I got a Steam Deck, which caused me to realize that the only games in my library that don't also run flawlessly on Linux are the ones that have invasive anticheat that I'm really not comfortable installing.<p>Having to enable TPM or device integrity or whatever it is on my own computer just to run my own games is just too much power to hand to some garbage corporation that shits on its users. Rubbed me so far the wrong that way that I gave it up. The fact that Win 11 is no longer just an easy and hands-off solution that "just works" but is bloated with dark patterns and "AI" bullshit certainly helped cement the decision.</p>
