It is greed; LLMs are progress but their cost, and the lies told about them wildly exceed their utility for most of the tasks that they’re otherwise expected to perform. The claims are fraudulent, fraud is a crime, and crime does not benefit society.
We don’t just use these people we create them. Since ancient Egypt the priest class of every society is employed to apply ritual trauma to psychologically prepare princes for their vocation of restless leadership.
Microsoft and its peers have become like a surface nuclear waste storage facility. The remains of something once useful now become dangerous, radioactive, an ever-growing parasitic burden on society, and yet must be continually supported lest there be grave consequences. Will they manage to reprocess themselves or be buried forever?
I’m fed up of hearing that nonsense, no it won’t. Efficiency is a human-defined measure of observed outcomes versus desired outcomes. This is subject to change as much as we are. If we do optimize ourselves to death, it’ll be because it’s what we ultimately want to happen. That may be true for some people but certainly not everyone.
And I would never work for someone with such a paranoid suspicion of the motives of their employees, who doesn’t want to take any responsibility in their employees’ professional growth, and who doesn’t want to pay them what they’re worth.
So it’s another inhumane interview process from a company led by an apparent psychopath. The author certainly dodged a bullet and graciously wrote this warning. Don’t work for them, they are vampires. Go elsewhere, your life is worth more and you always have a choice.
Thanks for sharing that. Einstein and Minkowski knew perfectly well that space and time are inseparable over 100 years ago.
>Not sure what religion has to do with it.
>absolute time is not falsifiable…you have to believe in it.
Either time is a necessary condition for experience, or it’s a measurable object of experience. It can’t be both. You can’t have time in time. Which one do you believe in?
Same, and with my toddler we’re back to good old fashioned DVDs. They may be slower, fragile and have a few unskippable parts but at least the ads are predictable, they don’t involve endless scrolling, and they belong to you.
