I mean I do check absolutely everything an LLM outputs. But following the analogy of the calculator, if it goes that way, no one will in the future check the result of an LLM. Just like no one ever checks the result of a complex calculation

It’s interesting because often the revolution of LLM is compared to the calculator but a calculator that does a random calculation mistake would never have been used so much in critical systems. That’s the point of a calculator, we never do

100% agree, loyalty goes both ways and we rarely see loyal employers (massive layoffs including hi-profile employee who dedicated their life to the company)

Going this route, what’s the point of of learning anything if everything is instantly accessible from an AI with working solutions ? So no learning = no teaching or teaching that feels useless. That’s a weird and dangerous road. Everyone sh

That’s exactly my feeling also. So frustrating, some games want you to invest so much time I gave up and sold them back

So like arguably when people were not using calculators they made calculations by hand and there was a room full of people that did calculations. That’s gone now thanks to calculators. But it the analogy goes to an order of magnitude higher

I fully agree with you about liability. I was advocating for the other point of view. Some people argue that it doesn’t matter if there is mistakes (it depends which actually) and with time it will cost nothing. I argue that if we give up l

I downloaded the turbo whisper model optimized for Mac, created a python script that get the mic input and paste the result. The python script is LLM generated and it works with pushing a key. For 80% of the functionality for free and done

Well the extent is much broader from a calculator vs an LLM. Why should I hire you if an agent can do it ? LLM is every job is a calculator and can be replaced. Spotify CEO stated on X that before asking for more headcount they have to just

For your GPS at worst you follow directions road sign by road sign. For a job without the core knowledge what’s the goal of hiring one person vs an unqualified one doing just prompts or worse, hiring no one and let agents do the prompting

Yeah but there isn’t one self operating supply chain that makes cars. We make more cars of ship them faster. The day machines 100% replaced humans throughout the industries it will be an other problem because capitalism is built upon the pr

You’re right, many, many people choose the path of least resistance to learn. Instead of digging a subject it’s easy to see the answer unfold …

Well it’s a good point that proves at least two things. First in the industrial world machine have not yet replaced man after decades. Still a force multiplier. The second point is the one who control « what » produces value wins it all. In

I understand that, it’s a lot of work and resources are needed. The most important aspect in this regard is features over UX. But for a casual user, not finding UI elements we’re used to makes it harder to want to learn it for a few use cas

We have thousand of old systems to maintain. Not sure everything could be rewritten or maintained with only LLM. If an LLM builds a whole system on its own and is able to maintain and fix it then it’s not just us software developper who wi

I’d like to see stakeholder only talking to an LLM to built a product with millions of lines of code and push all that into production where other companies depend on it to run themselves. Good luck when there’s a critical bug and the LLM k

Yes you’re right. The handwritten notes I take I always keep them for myself. If I have to share something I clean it and summarize and type it by hand. I find useful to do it manually to make sure intent and comprehension are well transcri

I prefer to take succinct notes on paper or eInk and cut the noise while I’m on the meeting. I’m better focused, keep the meeting to what really matters. A colleague sent me one of those summaries, it didn’t make sense. For me it can’t rep
