If I had an employee that fucked up as often and confidently as LLMs do, I would terminate their employment. I don’t have the time or patience to redo all their work because I can’t trust them. If a brand had quality issues at as high a rate as LLM output, I would avoid buying anything related to that brand.
A human being or company can make some amount of mistakes and that’s completely understandable, and I think it’s perfectly fair to hold LLMs to that standard. That said, with a human being I can stress how important some task is and they don’t double or triple check their when it is that important, I can not and will not trust them. If I tell a company “hey this is important to me”, they will usually make extra effort to make sure it’s correct, and if they fail to do so, a decent company will make an extra effort to make things right. An LLM will offer an empty apology and spew more bullshit at me that I still have to verify.
The fact that AI gets things right often enough for you is great. Maybe I have higher standards, maybe I need higher quality output, or maybe I have trust issues. Everyone has a different threshold. Just because yours is much different than the people here doesn’t mean their opinions are invalid, and the way you dismiss everyone’s opinions and insist that it’s good enough makes you seem just as insufferable and ignorant as you accuse others of being.
The fact that LLM output has improved is great, but it is still so far from meeting much less exceeding my threshold that it’s beyond frustrating to keep being told over and over that “no bro, it’s good now”. I’ve been hearing that for over two years and it’s still not close to where I would trust it to answer questions, much less perform actions on my computer with access to my personal data.
You need to learn that some people are different than you and understand where they’re coming from if you want to have an “interesting discussion… about this topic”, rather than getting frustrated that people don’t agree with you and rage quitting.
Images shared online show the system with only two of the standard six launch missiles pictured on one side, suggesting there may be a shortage of interceptors.

It’s weird how many people don’t understand that the goal of capitalists is to charge as much as the market will bear to maximize their returns. Extra sad that we were talked into destroying labor’s ability to do the reverse. Almost like that created an imbalance that is causing everything (the economy, the rule of law, society in general) to wobble more and more as we struggle to either find stability with a new normal, or everything implodes.
That’s really interesting and not something I would have considered, thank you for sharing! I wonder how that impacts communication for deaf autistic folks who suck at body language?
Agreed. It’s definitely appealing to not have to put in any work, but sabotaging every relationship and having to start over again and again because you expect mindreaders sounds absolutely exhausting.
Like I said, it’s about maturity and the wisdom to realize all that bad advice is bullshit. As a partner you can try to be the one to call her out on it and build good communication skills from the ground up, or you can recognize the pattern and move on to someone who is willing to explicitly ask for their needs to be met.
I really appreciate the author making their bias this obvious.
If you’re referring to The Dark Knight movie, that was Lucious Fox, not Alfred.

They say while investing in a technology whose valuation is predicated on eliminating people from the workforce.
I know this was from the autonomous Tesla predictions list, but this quote from August 2022 doesn’t age well either:
At the currrent revenue rates for AI, that would put the upper bound well into the 2030s; I’m hoping it pops much more quickly than that.

Thank you for this laugh.
So the entire country should be deployed against their will to die for the motherland, but he personally shouldn’t be sent to the frontline.

I’m reminded of when the co-founder of Uber announced that he was close to a breakthrough in theoretical physics with the help of an AI.
