Ignoring the lack of direction following, everything looks so plastic. Probably video game cutscene training showing through.
From the perspective of the company I work for (not a tech company, but has a pretty large development center) they truly believe that AI will 10x productivity. Not so much the FOOM stuff. Just typical Capitalism.
They would like to describe what they want and receive Whatever — some beige sludge that vaguely resembles it. That isn’t programming, though. That’s management, a fairly different job. I’m not interested in managing. I’m certainly not interested in managing this bizarre polite lying daydream machine.
This is where I am right now. They are pushing AI hard at work, even shaming people that haven’t signed up for copilot. They brought in some MS rep to tell us how the future of work was going to be wrangling AI agents. This is not the future that I want.
I’m reminded of that Folding Ideas video where he writes a book for some get rich quick book mill scheme. I bet that stuff is all AI now.
It’s this. He doesn’t care about the details, he just wants the trivia. He’s not interested in understanding anything, he just wants the power point version of reality. Cliff’s notes for reading assignments in school.

it’s interesting that Yud doesn’t realize that Cyc is basically what he thought Lenat should have done with Eurisko
~100 snake oil salesmen agree that this here elixir will cure all your ills!
“a journalist goes through your public statements looking for the most damning or hypocritical things you’ve ever said out of context” is an incredibly tricky situation to come out of looking good
only if, you know, your public statements contain lots of damning things
they’re going to try to write COBOL with AI. let’s see how that works out
god damn couldn’t even get past the first paragraph where he describes himself, while trying to attribute it to others
Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned yet: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meta-ai-users-facebook-instagram-1235221430/
Facebook and Instagram to add AI users. I’m sure that’s what everyone has been begging for…
AIfu
That’s gold. I like it.
Damn, HP doesn’t mess around. I’m going to stop trashing them around the office.
And by costlier he means power consumption. Ten thousand times more powerful! Still can’t do basic math without handing it off to a calculator.
I was about to laugh about 2020 being cyberpunk, but come to think about it 2020 was the most cyberpunk year so far with everyone stuck inside doing everything on the internet.
I will never get tired of that saltman pic.
I think he would probably identify more with a different character.
late, but reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB1X4o-MV6o
