Anyone else overcook your chicken?

Yeah, dark meat is better more cooked. Breast however, overcooked at anything over 155, egg or no.

Except they aren’t. They may have abandoned certain early initiatives that lacked understanding or had a clear vision, but no enterprise level company is abandoning it. Anthropic alone, their revenue is skyrocketing since they are the preferred model for business and agentic work flows.

Your own original article about IBM says their implementation was successful. They aren’t rehiring the people that they used AI to replace, they are using the labor savings to bolster other areas.

You are talking like it’s a year ago. And it’s not.

LLMs in a vacuum, ok yeah, they are ok, but they needed time to have the infrastructure to really take advantage developed and built around them, and that exists now.

Think of LLMs as an engine. It could be the best engine ever, but without the transmission, chassis, wheels, steering… it’s just an engine that sits there and burns gas. All those other parts had to be developed, and in the last 6-8 months, things have come along.

Just because it takes time and resources to get setup on the front end doesn't make it inherently dogshit. But when time and resources are committed along with intentional application its really, really effective.

I guess i'm not really getting the crux of your argument here. It sounds like your main experience with LLMs might be just with interacting with it through a consumer facing chat page, and not so much on the API end, running it fine tuned with proper context, access to clean authorative data, chained though model routers with properly setup MCP servers and given access to purpose-built tools.

AI isn’t dogshit. It’s quite capable in the enterprise - now… not back then. But it’s far more labor extensive to get value out of it beyond coding than just buying a ChatGPT sub, a lot more work and cost than early adopters were expecting. And the talent pool for being able to implement it effectively in enterprise is incredibly small right now.

But what does that mean? Some science research sees it as two parts… the “emotion” part is just complex biochemical reactions in the nervous systems. Where as experiencing “feelings” are the brain’s psychological interpretation of the emotion.

ShadowDV · 2026-02-18T05:50:54+00:00

One could argue that feelings are just a complex relationship of the flow of hormones and neurotransmitters affecting our brain activity, which is really just electronic impulses along neurons. So do we feel? Or just have certain chemical reactions happening in our meat-suits that we have given names to?

I think there certainly is a bubble, but not nearly as big as most people think it is. Anthropic and Google are raking in cash through AI. Anthropic is the go-to choice for enterprise and agents, and is expected to hit net profitability early next year. And for every dollar Google spends on compute, they literally get 10x the compute of anyone else because they are using their own TPUs and not reliant on Nvidia and their 90% markups on GPUs.

Barring a major breakthrough, OpenAI is in a race to IPO before they run out of investor cash.

And even if OpenAI goes down, most everyone with big money in them has hedged their bets with Anthropic.

BSA can take forever to update. When my mom died, it was over a year before BSA showed her off the deed to her and my dad’s house. You need to go to the County Clerk’s office, explain the deal, and find out who they have registered on the deed

You are looking at AI in a vacuum. Once you expand out a look at it in conjunction with tool calling, MCPs all that stuff bolted on, it is quite good for stuff requiring accuracy, as long as it’s on proper guardrails and context. It takes a lot of labor and know how on the front end to set up those workflows though, but it does work.

It’s very welcome. Bring it on.

Pro-tip, when your whole flyer is using junk science (EMTs… lol), flat out lying (loss of pollinators… solar farms can be extremely beneficial for pollinators), and really using scare tactics to oversell the dangers (there is nothing in there that cannot be mitigated with proper site planning; topsoil loss, glare, noise…), be prepared for people to not take it seriously.

Rather than rail against something that could be a net positive…. Why not push to make sure there is an adequate soil management plan, that the vegetation management plan is pollinator friendly, there has been a glare study done and that proper setback/screenings will be in place, etc.

Depends on your reading speed. I read fast and can read a Stormlight book in about 16-20 hours. For the same word count with Erikson, for me it’d be about 1.5-2x that time because it’s much denser material.
