But in this case it's "exported" primarily to be ridiculed. We're amused by your antics but no one wants to emulate American culture anymore.

American can't win a shooting war in Afghanistan. It's not actually a strong country.

No it doesn't make it possible. It can't possibly make up the difference.

The primary issue they have is not being allowed to become vassal states of US empire quickly enough. "Western alienation" is created and maintained by American propaganda.

Still. Many of those periods. Should be commas.

His comment sucks but it is indeed a skill issue. Not the skill of "agentic coding" or whatever but the skill of having and communicating good ideas. A lot of engineers/people are bad at that, and are struggling to produce an

I agree, but a lot of people don't. I have coworkers who say they will stop reading something if they believe it is AI. For them, it's not about quality, it's laziness disguised as righteousness.

If the "study" is interesting at all, it's because of the implication that driving a taxi somehow wards off Alzheimers... but at the cost of killing you before you get it.

Usually customers are open about this kind of thing though. They play you off your competitors and vice versa. I don't totally disagree, I just think the real secrets have nothing to do with features or dev. The secret is A is about to

The truth is that most software companies don't have any secrets worth hiding. The saas industry is all about sales and deals. The market runs on access, not intelligence.

And agentic enthusiasts apparently believe agents can do anything except REST.

The funny thing is that Anthropic and its boosters here framed MCP as a brilliant development. It's a terrible protocol with zero value beyond bigtech sponsorship. We're all worse off for it.

Spot on. But logic is lost on people who are ideologically motivated.

I don't know why you wouldn't think they could do this already. Without the system prompt these models can be used to do all sorts of terrible things. That's precisely why they need to be strictly regulated by international t

Labelling images, transcription, and vacuuming are things humans can do already. The vacuum is a great example of an actual invention. Making it "autonomous" just isn't that impressive.

Productivity gains maybe but nothing actually novel. And those productivity gains are moot if AI costs (including externalities) increase commensurately.

People's workday has been transformed by it. But I fail to see actual transformation beyond "more crap, faster." AI hasn't done anything we couldn't already do. It's just doing it faster and with more mistakes

I love AI because it has quickly revealed to the general public how all these tech geniuses are really just rich morons. It's very much like the Naked Emperor. Sycophantic AI has convinced them their naked inner thoughts are profound a

My point is that you get used to it. I don't like if aesthetically, but I like that it has an aesthetic at all. I have coworkers who overuse phrases, oftentimes incorrectly. It doesn't annoy me because I'm familiar with their
