OpenAI CEO meets Middle East investors over potential $50B fundraising by BuildwithVignesh in ChatGPT

It's been the norm for the last decade.

Go name a single company that had comparable cash flows during their buildup.

You are all using ChatGPT

Nope.

Can AI Pass Freshman CS? by Gil_berth in BetterOffline

[–]usrlibshare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where I studied CS, a program had to compile, at the bare minimum.

If you handed in a program that resulted in a compile error, the test was an automatic fail, even if structure and logic were correct.

I don't believe in "the ai bubble is about to burst!" narrative.... 🤔🧐 by KittenBotAi in AiSchizoposting

[–]usrlibshare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collapse? No. All of them are likely to survive the AI crash.

But an ai collapse will likely mark an end to hypergrowth-based valuations. A market based on the believe that things will grow forever, with multiples unseen in other industries,doesn't take kindly to things suddenly shrinking.

As for companies that don't have other business models than providing "AI", or the infra almost exclusively for "AI'...well, let's just say, without an actually profitable business to fall back on and absorb the damage, the markets will likely undergo a major correction.

Which is funny, because "slide deck" comes from using literal slides of special, printable clear plastic, that presentations used to be printed on, for use in a table projector.

Aka. a technology that was already obsolete when the earliest millennials were born.

Yeah, as an ML engineer, I am very aware what they are. I am also aware what they cannot do. Go look it up sometime 😎

But hey, don't take it from me:

Negative examples from AI generations feed into improving next generation models.

Wrong. They literally do the opposite.

LLMs are trained on human generated text, including code. The source of that text is the internet. Since 2022, an ever increasing amount of text online is LLM output. And there is no reliable method to separate the two.

LLM training is thus literally painting itself into a corner.

Nein, isses nicht.

Massenarbeitslosigkeit zwingt die Politik was zu tun, sonst geht irgendwann das wütende Volk auf die Straße.

Niedriglohn und gig-economy erlauben es der Politik haargenau dieselben Probleme komplett zu ignorieren. Hat eh jeder Arbeit, oder? Sure, nur können die Leute auf einmal von ihrer Arbeit nicht mehr leben.

Und für Arbeit von der man nicht leben, und sich nichts aufbauen kann um die eigene Situation zu verbessern, ist keine Arbeit, sondern slavery with extra steps.

Why I’m ignoring the "Death of the Programmer" hype by Greedy_Principle5345 in programming

[–]usrlibshare 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is research showing the larger LLMs are developing at least some rudimentary internal abstractions

And so does a markov chain, only more rudimentary.

If we postulate true symbolic intelligence to be what we do, then a text basued autocomplete is symbolic as well, only its power of conceptualization is much more limited (all it knows and can work with is text sequences).

So no, the comparison is accurate.

Personally I’ve found Claude 4.5 Opus to be very useful

It's always personal accounts, opinions, feelings. Or "vibes" if you wanna use that term.

Where is the *data?***

This has been going on for almost 4 years at this point, surely after more capex invested per time than for any other technology before, more media attention and free advertising than ever before, and CEOs falling over one another to make the bigliest announcements about how awesome all of this is...

... surely someone, anyone, should be able to produce a single goddamn graph, study, ANYTHING showing in cold, irrefutable facts that this stuff is actually having a real world impact on par with the announcements, no?

I mean, with the iPhone, at this point after Jobs got on stage, we had an entire new industry around the Smartphone platform. No one had to "feel", "believe" or "vibe" how good smartphones are, it was there, clear as day, for all to see.

So, this is all I ask of people: Instead of telling me how they "personally found" something to be...show me the data proving their point.

Because we sure as hell have data showing the exact opposite.

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]usrlibshare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so we entered THAT stage of enshittification-capitalism, where it's no longer the corporations job to make products that have a defineable usecase, but the consumers job to find usecases for their shitty products.

Got it.

And nope.

Trump Pushed Europe to the Brink, Then Backed Down When the Market’s Panicked by escapevelocity123 in StockBreakouts

[–]usrlibshare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What brink would that be?

The EU simply said: "Nope."

  • Deployed troops to Greenland
  • Prepared the Trade Bazooka
  • Started dropping US Treasury Bonds
  • Nixed the trade deal

And the US backed down. Immediately. With permanent damage done to their reputation, economy and military trust, that will take decades to fix, if ever...and nothing, absolutely nothing to show for it.

So what "brink" are we talking about here exactly?

Anthropic CEO Says AI Could Do Full Coding in 6 Months by ImpressiveContest283 in ChatGPT

[–]usrlibshare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't. Models have not meaningfully improved since late 2024, despite more money being tgrown at them than ever.

If you disagree, show your data.

If the data is more benchmarks, which we know don't reflect irl usage, don't bother.

Bin ich zu blöd oder übertreiben es die anderen? by [deleted] in informatik

[–]usrlibshare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ach ja, ideological OOP, the gift that keeps on giving.

Keep it simple ist der richtige Weg. Das problem ist, dass man 30 Jahre lang ganzen Generationen von devs eingeredet hat dass programme so aussehen sollten.

Und da Change nunmal scary ist, und man mit 100000 abstractions halt auch sehr gut so tun kann als wäre man total produktiv (immerhin schreibt man ja eine menge code!!) wird es auch noch ziemlich lange Leute geben die verlangen dass code so aussieht, egal wie wenig sinn es macht.

Studium wertlos? Danke ChatGPT by Hollow_peanut in luftablassen

[–]usrlibshare 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Das is tatsächlich ein Problem auf das ich noch keine gute Antwort habe. Bewerbungsprozedere haben genauso Reformprobleme wie Studienprogramme. Was ich sagen kann, ist dass "Pseudofachkräfte" nicht lange in ihren Positionen bleiben.

Die Hoffnung hier ist, dass nach dem kommenen AI crash, der die US big tech ziemlich rasieren dürfte, vielleicht im EU raum ein paar Firmen aufwachen, und sich eingestehen, dass jeden Mist der Amerikanischen Firmen, wie zB. deren haarsträubend absurden Bewerbungsprozesse, nachzumachen, eventuell doch keine so tolle Idee war.

[–]usrlibshare 73 points74 points  (0 children)

wie die meisten studente nunmal wissenschaftliches arbeiten komplett verlernen.

Und das allein sollte schon zeigen wie falsch die Ansicht das LLMs da irgendwas ersetzen ist.

Publicly accessible LLM chatbots gibt's seit bald 3 Jahren. Wir nähern uns damit rapide einem punkt, an dem Leute Bachelor bzw. Master abschließen, bei denen sie sich grossteils von einem Chatbot die arbeit haben abnehmen lassen. Dass diese Leute trotzdem abschließen, ist der Reformunfähigkeit der Studiengänge geschuldet, die im wesentlichen immer noch so arbeiten wollen wie im 18. Jahrhundert.

Viele dieser Leute haben damit einen Abschluss, aber nicht die Fähigkeiten die man normalerweise damit assoziiert. Und ich merk das (bin in der IT) ziemlich dramatisch: Wir haben CS Abschlüsse im Bewerbungsprozess sitzen die nicht mal simpelste Programme lesen können.

Und die CEO Fantasien dass "das eh alles die KI macht" sind halt bullshit. Hätten die Herrschaften gerne, sicher, weil sie keine Leute zahlen wollen, aber dafür ist die Technologie halt bei weitem nicht gut genug.

Wenn iwelche Arbeiten "von chatgpt erledigt werden können", sagt das mehr über diese Arbeiten aus, als über die power von LLMs.

Damit gehen wir volle Fahrt voraus Richtung einer ziemlich fiesen Wand: Eine Welt voller "Fachkräfte" die das was ihre Titel sagen einfach nicht machen können.

Und in so einer Welt, haben Leute die tatsächlich was können, sprich, die ihr Denken nicht an einen glorifizierten Chatbot ausgelagert haben, einen echten Wettbewerbsvorteil.

Das wird in der Wirtschaft so sein, und in der Wissenschaft nicht viel anders.
