    I'd argue that data in this case is more like the actual models they use, their codebase and their engineering talent. Not deep enough in the sauce to say one way or another how bi…

    For how long though? If Amazon never built AWS the core business conceivably would still be around today, if Anthropic stopped providing new models two years ago no one would care …

    I agree with the general sentiment, but I feel like it is also a bit reductive. Assets in this space are near impossible to evaluate and can fluctuate in value greatly based on oth…

    > However, there is zero legal duty for the police to protect someone who is currently under attack from a criminal. That has to be incorrect, by the time someone is under actual a…

    I speak german as a mothertongue and fluent english, and I had massive troubles communicating in my own home.

    There is some sort of weird phenomenon that I cant quite put to words, but the core is: While there is a big chunk of the native german population speaking great english there is a…

    >I wouldn't call desktop computers or even just laptops "unsuccessful products". Would you? With the caveat of "Casually browsing the web" I would, actually. They have been near co…

    Im kind of struggling with this logic, because a conscious choice was made to engage with AWS, AWS having opaque billing and the ability to provide a huge amount of compute (even a…

    Much less emasculating than accepting that all that weird tech mumbo jumbo that those overpaid senior engineers babble about actually has a deeper meaning and is not just there to …

    Im curious if that point comes before it automates away the entire mid-upper management caste. In a hypothetical world where LLMs have enough context window and "understanding" to …

    Comment #48381701

    Not to mention the fact that even the most well documented codebase will have documentation blindspots about real-world concerns or limitations that LLMs cant know about. Cursor ye…

    The argument is "Software Engineer" sounds like "Programmer" to me and "Programming" is just typing lines of code, AI can do all that typing quicker than a human so there we go. Cu…

    To properly test an LLM based emergency system against the current as-is system there needs to be a way of verifying whether the LLM detected emergency is classed as an emergency a…

    Are all those security systems actually open right now? Because that sounds like an absolute security nightmare if so.

    Comment #47763277

    That sounds like a solution looking for a problem though, i see plenty of arguments against throwing critical safety information that are in charge of peoples lives into an LLM "ju…

    Is there any indication that current warning systems are insufficient in any way that would be improved by LLM involvement?
