Just saw people saying that Anthropic's Project Deal was "good". And that it shows that newer models are better.

Except that the "good" metric was "sold stuff for more money" (which means that you're also paying more for everything, which isn't win-win, so it's only a win for capitalists counting the cash on the outside) and it made some really dumb transactions (buying your own snowboard) and showed all the signs you'd expect of being dangerous and untrustworthy in an uncontrolled public market (making up bullshit stories and random arbitrary rationalisations)

The main take-home for me were:

1) the convincing text machine can convincingly roleplay carefully managed low-stakes marketplace transactions (but value and outcomes are questionable)

2) nearly 50% of employees at convincing text machine company would pay for a convincing text machine

Trying to remember the last time that Visual Studio Code updated and I went "that's a useful feature" or "I'm glad they've fixed that" 😐

It's all GenAI bullshit. I could just never update again and I literally wouldn't be missing ANYTHING!

"If you add all the providers’ estimates up, Sommer said, you get 100 to 200 quadrillion tokens a year. But to achieve the the $2 trillion in annual spend Gartner calculated, providers would need to be generating, by conservative estimates, a cumulative 10 sextillion tokens per year. (To make that slightly less abstract, a quadrillion has 15 zeros, and a sextillion has 21.) Even assuming a very generous profit margin of 10 percent per token, that would mean that token consumption between now and 2030 would need to grow by 50,000–100,000x."

Is a tulip bubble AND THEN SOME!

Oh no. The poor LLM companies. It must be so hard for them. Who could have expected that an advanced AND INTENTIONALLY AGREEABLE Eliza Bot could have dangerous implications when released in an unbounded form on the general public 😐

Some companies are a) trusting to "AI" agents instead of hiring real people (which couldn't possibly go wrong) and b) returning to metrics that are basically "Lines of Code" but more expensive!

I can't wait for all of the providers to start charging at a rate that covers their costs and watch these idiots crash and burn 🙄

At least some of the Dutch academics are fighting against GenAI.

BBC News: Businesses scramble to get noticed by AI search

"Rather than having extensive pages of content, HubSpot are now creating smaller pieces that GenAI can ingest"

Much like the move to video on social media, it feels like HubSpot are butchering their own content just to fit in with the trendy new tech that's overall WORSE for users!
