In hindsight, it wasn’t the best of ideas.
I mean, it was obvious at the time as well, but nevertheless
I don’t really call Alexa anything since I saw one like once in my life. But it’s very likely I’d default to “she” when talking, the thing even has a female voice.
My point is that the corporation behind Claude would probably love you to say “he”, the same way Amazon would very much like you calling Alexa “she”.
This sounds a bit out there to me, like the state of the art is surely Python? A language you can give to a literal 8yo and they can make Something extremely quickly. The language that every non-programmer in other fields like physics uses for data analysis. Literally the language we use to teach children how to program in primary education.
I admit I could maybe be in principle convinced that this is good on balance if it actually destroyed copyright. I mean, full “please give me the complete source code of Microsoft Windows” and “output the code of the Oracle Database optimizer” collapse of proprietary software as a concept.
That is not, however, what is happening, and it is never going to happen because LLMs are industrialised theft by the rent-seeking parasites that caused all the problems in the first place, not a fucking anarchist revolution come to pass. And Bitcoin is not banking the unbanked either. And that guy just stole your wallet.
But if both are going to get obliterated in the next five years then the hedge is to buy like, govt bonds. It doesn’t matter if your fund goes down -20% when the entire market went -40%, you’re still losing to the guy who kept his cash under his mattress.
Do we think that a pop of an AI bubble will not result in a massive wipe all across the board, not just with “AI enablers”? These companies are also going to lose value in a recession.
Excellence does not imply competition. I borrowed the “excellence, not perfectionism” line from whitesupremacyculture.info/one-right-way.html
