Dumb Offtopic question. Is there any way to ask gpt4 to summarize an article online?
I tried giving it the url and it was a disaster. Is there a plug-in?

Or, you have a break out hit like the Spice Girls. If it was so bad, then why do people listen? There is still a market. Does the market suck? Full of idiots? Your argument ends up being that successful things are bad, because humans are just idiots and thus if something is successful it is because it is just liked by idiots. As much as I might agree generally, it doesn't get you far.
Back then, payola meant that people listened whatever the labels wanted to make popular. it's very much an intentional, manufacturered factory.
Honey, everything is an "intentional, manufactured factory". Or do you just wake up every morning and say to yourself "let me type some random code and see what kind of software comes out"??

#193This only really confirms what we already know. Business consultants are useless.

Probably. I have a habit of bookmarkung predictions I see on HN to revisit them later and most of those related to LLMs are aging very badly.
The claim that large language models would replace software engineers this year is aging very badly.
Indeed. If you have a link, I'll bookmark it.

#195Well, this sounds like perfect tasks for GPT: "Participants responded to a total of 18 tasks (or as many as they could within the given time frame). These tasks spanned various domains. Specifically, they can be categorized into four types: creativity (e.g., “Propose at least 10 ideas for a new shoe targeting an underserved market or sport.”), analytical thinking (e.g., “Segment the footwear industry market based on…

Yeah some of those have potential lol

#196> Two distinct patterns of AI use emerged: “Centaurs,” who divided and delegated tasks between themselves and the AI, and “Cyborgs,” who integrated their workflow with the AI. It was nice of them to explain that the article was total horse dung before having to read the whole paper
'Centaurs', 'Cyborgs', 'Unicorns', etc...
These are existing industry terms, 'Centaurs', 'Cyborgs', 'Unicorns', etc... have been around for decades.
Technically, that one sentence you are calling 'BS', actually did describe the situation accurately. And got the message across about the issues being discussed in the article.
Almost like a business consultant, used business terms, to succinctly describe the subject that will be discussed. To quickly get the main points across.

It’s insane that people think producing pop music is easy. Competing on the pop music market is a cutthroat business with a lot of competition and the good ones get their price back in gold. When Scorpions wanted to be resurrected they hired Desmond Child to produce them and he absolutely crushed. These people are very good at what they do and there are very few of them.
It’s also insane people think running a large business is easy, or that management consultants aren’t worth what they’re paid.
I hope someone builds a management consultant gpt to find out.
Until then, our leaders, experts and institutions were few of those things during the pandemic.
How large businesses are built and run has changed faster and more in the past few years than the principled predictions of a business’ future vector that are based on lagging indicators.
It also depends on how cookie cut the management consultant frameworks and “toolkits” are.
It’s no coincidence that it’s mostly juniors doing so much of the work and billing. New or average talent is more profitable per hour to bill than experience.
Financially, if $7-8 of every $10 for improvement went to a management consulting undertaking, the other $2-3 is what’s left over for the rest without even knowing. This would be the coup, if this were true.
The fun part to watch for is is tech people will be able to learn business easier than business people will be able to learn and apply tech when they can’t understand it’s capabilities or possibilities beyond speaking points.
The technical analyst will M&A the business analyst. Maybe they learn to extract Management Consultant type value too.

Ha it's fun to dunk on management consultants but I think the magic is they are like pop music producers. Somehow they're able to make the C suite hoover up LLM shovelware the same way top producers can take super obvious music and sell I V vi IV but when we try the same chords it's uninspired and no one wants to listen to it

Is there a HN for management consultants?
Depending you ask pop music is a formula and that one dude from Sweden has the formula perfected.

The perception is that success in the field is driven largely by factors other than the quality of music. It'd be extremely interesting to see a Richard Bachman / Steven King [1] type experiment with a Desmond Child, Max Martin, or whoever else. Keep their existence completely out of the picture, and have them scout and produce talented no-name, but require the no-name to use only the sort of avenues that would be op…
> other than the quality of the music
The ‘quality’ of a pop song is how much popular appeal it has. That’s the basis of the genre, even reflected in the name.

In practice you need both. Max Martin himself has produced and songwritten for plenty of no-names, but for an artist that has the requisite marketing support, bad or uncatchy pop songs can absolutely ruin an artist who would otherwise make it big.
