Any models that can understand thick accents better than I can?
Anytime I’m talking to an Indian on the other end, I have to have them repeat everything 2 or 3 times.
If you’re worried about this why are you using a third party AI in the first place?
Running any query in Claude or Codex could result in the AI reading/uploading any file in your codebase.
Individual firms can cut jobs while the overall economy sees more of that job pop up. That’s what happens when individuals become more efficient, new projects become more economical and more companies end up requiring these jobs.
You seem to think that non programmers don't ask LLMs to program for them.
Because they largely do not. Are you actually under the impression that the average person is using chatbots to program? That’s wayyy off.
Maybe that's why you're comfortable here thinking you're definitely will keep being in demand.
I’ve made no such claim, this a complete non-sequitur.
Believe me they do ask an LLM to write for them various tools and bots and what LLM writes can in turn consume tokens like crazy be agentic or whatever the latest hype word is.
The average person does not do this. Come on, dude.
even without that uploading a resume is not "write emails based on a number of docs and spreadsheets and other emails and Slack chats plus some websites and iterate on it multiple times".
It’s much closer to the average usage. All of that is still far less than agentic coding.
LLM doesn't think
You don’t realize I’m referring to the process of generating a ton of text in an attempt to better address the request - a process that these LLM companies call “thinking”? Are you out of the loop or are you taking some kind of pointless stand here?
yeh people never ever ask LLMs to write emails based on a number of docs and spreadsheets and other emails and Slack chats plus some websites and definitely won't iterate on it multiple times...
A worker might have one or two of those large requests a day. That stop doesn’t come close to agentic AI token usage. I’ve been applying for jobs daily, uploading both my resume and the job posting upwards of 6-7 times per day to these chatbots. I still never hit the free limit.
Agentic AI coding obviously uses far, far more. This really shouldn’t be surprising.
That’s not true. The different use cases of LLMs objectively use different amounts of tokens. AI coding agents can parse half a dozen or more files on each request, plus use a ton for thinking.
Writing an email barely uses any in comparison.
It doesn’t matter what “most people” are, coding agents use an obscene amount of tokens, literally millions per day. Every request to an agent needs to parse at least several different documents/files.
No not at all
But why if that costing anyone money? You can generate like 50 of that kind of thing using various chatbots throughout your day.
You don’t need a pro account for emails.
I’m not saying “It’s crazy to ever write emails with AI.”
I’m saying it shouldn’t hardly cost any money, emails are not token intensive and most people could likely use the free version of chatbots just fine.
But surely the free version of any of the chatbots is enough to achieve that, right? You don’t need a Pro subscription for that.
And in coding specifically, the speedup is real and comes with its own bill.
Oh so this article isn’t really about where AI spending is actually happening.
I HOPE people aren’t spending money on AI writing emails. That’s definitely not worth it.
Companies are spending the most on coding tools, not email writing. That’s the main value proposition right now.
It also doesn’t get into media generation and industries that use video or music.
It’s just a really narrow look at probably the worst use case for AI. Useless.
What website/service actually uses that?
What?! It makes it look like a giant fighter jet
Now?
You think too highly of California voters.
All they have to do if frame it as an unnecessary freedom that only conservatives and wackos want to keep and they will 100% support it.
They see their state as a sort of oasis in the country and will do whatever it takes to keep the guns out. They really believe they’re just a few laws away from solving any issue a “reasonable” American could face.
They’re just waiting for the union to fall apart and then those will be next.
I wasn’t saying it needs to be positive, I’m saying he’s a super boring movie character.
A whole movie about him being fired from OpenAI just doesn’t sound compelling. A simple documentary would be a much better format, and likely more accurate and interesting.
Honestly not that big of a loss. Even if it’s Sam Altman being an ass the entire movie, it still wouldn’t be a good film because it’s about a wet blanket.
He’s not Steve Jobs or something. It’d be about as interesting as a Jeff Bezos film. Nobody cares.
I wish I’d skipped my graduation ceremony as well. What a complete waste of time.
Landing on two engines was the plan.
V3 Raptors are too powerful, they no longer need three engines to land. They are only going with two from here on out.
So I think it’s unlikely that they altered any aspect of the landing test due to lighting only two engines… as they was the plan anyway.
Not surprising, sites like Reddit use it to get around their paywalls.
Redditors then had the gall to pretend like it wasn’t their number one use case.
Wanting to control the non-violent actions of others is also a social ill. Just one most haven’t woken up to yet.
We see the fundamental forces of capitalism at work: To justify valuation, Google needs to grow.
You’re confusing markets with capitalism.
Market Socialism (the only reasonable kind) would have these same issues. If Google was owned by the workers instead of capitalists, it would still have incentive to grow. The worker owners would have the exact same incentives as current owners. The only difference would be who the owners are.
Capitalism is not actually “the final boss” that internet leftists make it out to be. Socialism is not the panacea that leftists make it out to be. Surveillance is not a “capitalist only” thing.
Which is apparently manageable. Scott Manley isn’t an industry veteran, but he does know a lot about space engineering and science. Here’s his breakdown of the feasibility, and heat management is not really a major issue:
I was surprised how much backlash there is over using kittens.
It turned out that people are worried they’ll get too attached to the kittens to be able to enjoy them becoming engulfed in massive explosions.
Good for your daughter but doesn’t that example tell us the opposite of what this article is trying to argue? If the majority of a group of young people choose to use AI for their project, that doesn’t indicate that the majority hate it. That would indicate that they like and trust it.
But sealed letters ARE protected under the 4th Amendment. A warrant is necessary to open all sealed mail.
Correspondence between a person and a business should be considered “papers.”
No, it's much more than that.
Okay then this AI stuff isn’t an example of that even under your definition.
