Slop. It barely works

Slop?
Chasing models for me it’s a big yellow flag
Means underinvesting in engineering
Look into it
Hi Nick, do you believe what you say? You scraped the shit out of everyone

Yeh the guy is going nuts. His whole job analysis thing is ridiculous. To me, it tells the guy has no critical sense, because this kind of paper would ruin the career of any economist.
This has been known forever… they shouldn’t exist. Anyone shocked to know Zuckerberg’s company does it? The guy started by stalking and ranking girls at college FFS.

It is very fluffy, but the idea of using formal methods works. It just never settles down… the workflow keeps improving and changing. You don’t need stable tools
I do exactly this. The database schema won’t change as often.
That’s how I do it, minus the marketing.
As a researcher in formal methods, I totally get you
Yes, 4GL and 5GL failed, but authoring Access applications should be a breeze now.
The irony is, AI coding only works after and if you put a lot of work on engineering, like creating a factory.
Sadly, this is the most serious comment here. People who are not shocked are people who haven’t seen what a highly educated computer scientist can do in single player mode.
They don’t make money by being right, they make money by exposing LPs to risk. Zero commitment to insight. Intellectual production goes only so far as to attract funding.
I hear and read so much shit by VCs. Both in LinkedIn and in private meetings. Specially Menlo says a lot of shit (check LinkedIn). Deloitte and McKinsey, also full of crap. Really.
Vcs are choke full of companies that can be cloned over night, SaaS companies that will face ridiculously fast substitution, and a whoooole lotta capital deployed on lousy RAGs and OpenAI Wrappers.

It’s like thinking a lot of McDonald chicken nuggets are as good as buffalo wings and eating a whole bucket to realize.
ChatGPT is proud
This makes no sense at all really.
It’s convoluted because it’s slop. You can’t even be sure the text came out as intended. It is full of GPT style markers that tell me the author wasn’t careful enough in review. Jolting bullets in markdown and asking for a full article is not good enough for publication. It’s today’s version of let me google that for you. No one publishes half ass markdown notes for a reason. Asking LLM to finish it doesn’t cut it.
Article is mostly GPT vomit after a couple bullet pints. If it’s not as easy for others to tell I’ll stay my blade runner style shop that tells who NOT to hire
I can’t take seriously an article on AI written so obviously using AI. The unmistakable (lack of) style. If the author is not even aware that the rhetoric that GPT produces is unvaried and predictable, how can I believe the author really means what they write? Slop is cancer
Wasm.
And compute.
If ASI is artificial specific intelligence, I bet your pardon; intelligence can hardly be specific. Intelligence can reflect upon itself.
They have never been thinking. This is important.
Predicting the next word is not intelligence.
Well, if you consider the case of a linear regression, fitting on your output will add no new information to the weights. Try that on any notebook.
Please spread the word that predicting the next one is not intelligence. It’s markov…
