With the caveat of "Casually browsing the web" I would, actually. They have been near completely subsumed by Ipads or Phones.

In my mind I could see a true tradeoff to removing the ability to do this. If I'm in a critical situtaion where, say, my service is on the cusp of failing because my revenue 100xed in a short while I know I could just go to AWS, put in some data and buy enough compute to survive as a business.

In a hypothetical world where LLMs have enough context window and "understanding" to have no need for an experienced user to give inputs I would assume its also going to have enough information to make most business decisions and provide well formatted info to the C-Suite.

Currently leading an Integration that for the most part needs no new code written and the CEO is breathing down my neck telling me to cut my 4 week estimate down to 1 because "can't i just use AI like the other firms do?".

There's a morbid part of me that wants to give him what he wants and let claude make critical process decisions on internal processes that are very domain specific and have no online documentation, but alas I would rather not have the project go down in flames so I smile and nod.

There is just so much clunk and developer hostile stuff going on that I would rather just not deal with it anymore.

Even that im not sure of, I know relatively little about aviation safety but I can imagine that there are all kinds of 0.0000000001% percent corner cases that no plane has ever encountered that still need some sort of reaction, who knows how easy an llm can distinguish those from the 0.000000001% corner cases that no plane has ever encountered that are completely fine and can be ignored.

Because humans are the fallback for all the scenarios that the tech cannot reliably cover. And my intuition says that the tech around planes is so heavily audited that only things that work with 99.999...% accuracy work will be left to tech.

Seeing how Claude (or any current LLM) perform in even the most low-stake coding scenario I dont think I would ever set foot on a plane where the 1% of most risky scenarios are decided by one.

Have decent sick pay, france seems to pay 20%, UK like 10ish%, makes complete sense that such countries would have less sick days.

>I mean just google. For example:

This is the kind of mediocre dataset I dislike, going to their datasource ( https://gateway.euro.who.int/en/indicators/hfa_411-2700-abse... ) half of germanys neighbours have not reported data for 2022, the graph they use for "EU" seems to just use the data from 2020 and stretch it over to 2022 because thats where the WHO dataset ends.

For example if you check out slovenia in the dataset they have a huge spike in 2022 (similar to germany) but went down a lot in 2023, Germany has no 2023 data so we can't say whether germany went down based on the WHO dataset.

Two papers linked in the article show germany going down to at least 2021 levels in 2023, yet this does not seem represented in the graph.

Which EU neighbours are we talking about? A cursory check shows them to be up by like 20ish% compared to czechia and poland, (which have decent sick pay) but up immensely compared to France and the UK (which do not). If #of sick days scales with % of sick pay it would make perfect sense for germany to be on top, do you have a decent dataset on #sick days by any chance? I was unable to find consistent data on this.
