Then it says the shop sign looks like a “Latin alphabet business name rather than Spanish or Portuguese”. Uhhh… what? Spanish and Portuguese use the Latin alphabet.
I think Apple execs genuinely underestimated how difficult it would be to get LLMs to perform up to Apple's typical standards of polish and control.

The reality is that the CEO/executive class already has developed a dislike for us and is trying to use us as “batteries” like in the Matrix.
CEOs (even most VCs) are labor too

It's an unhelpful one because it implies the danger is somehow the result of irrational or impulsive thought, and making the AI smarter will avoid it.
That's not how I read it. Perhaps because most of the smartest people I know are regularly irrational or impulsive :)
The most likely danger with AI is concentrated power, not that sentient AI will develop a dislike for us and use us as "batteries" like in the Matrix.
I'm not so sure it will be that either, it would be having multiple AIs essentially at war with each other over access to GPUs/energy or whatever the materials are needed to grow if/when that happens. We will end up as pawns in this conflict.
But don't count on it.
I mean, apart from anything else, that's still a bad outcome.

"AI will take over the world". I hear that. Then I try to use AI for simple code task, writing unit tests for a class, very similar to other unit tests. If fails miserably. Forgets to add an annotation and enters in a death loop of bullshit code generation. Generates test classes that tests failed test classes that test failed test classes and so on. Fascinating to watch. I wonder how much CO2 it generated while fryi…
Regularly trying to use LLMs to debug coding issues has convinced me that we're _nowhere_ close to the kind of AGI some are imagining is right around the corner.
I don't know how long that exponential will continue for, and I have my suspicions that it stops before week-long tasks, but that's the trend-line we're on.
