Tbh if Claude is smarter than average person, and it is, then 50% of the population is not even a glorified auto complete. Imagine that, all not very bright.
They are... People. Dehumanising people is never a good sign about someone's psyche.

Just you switching away from Google is already justifying 1T infrastructure spend. Just think about how much more effective advertisements are going to be when LLMs start to tell you what to buy based on which advertiser gave the most money to the company.
1 Trillion US dollars? 1 trillion dollars is justified because people use chatGPT instead of google sometimes?
GPT is more valuable than search because GPT has more control over the content than Search has.

It is the kind of question that takes into account that people thinking that they are more productive does not imply that they actually are. This happens in a wide range of contexts, from AI to drugs.
It's not that hard to review how much you actually got done and check whether it matches how much it felt like you were getting done.
I feel kind of like a Luddite sometimes but I don't understand why EVERYONE is rushing to use AI? I use a couple different agents to help me code, and ChatGPT has largely replaced Google in my everyday use, but I genuinely don't understand the value proposition of every other companies offerings. I really feel like we're in the same "Get it out first, figure out what it is good for later" bubble we had like 7 years a…

Deepmind are working on solving the plasma control issue at the moment, I suspect they're probably using a bit of AI.... and I wouldn't put it past them to crack it.

I don’t understand what you’re saying. You know the AI is incapable of reading your mind, right? Can you provide more information?
LLMs can have surprisingly strong "theory of mind", even at base model level. They have to learn that to get good at predicting all the various people that show up in conversation logs. You'd be surprised at just how much data you can pry out of an LLM that was merely exposed to a single long conversation with a given user. Chatbot LLMs aren't trained to expose all of those latent insights, but they can still do some…

In my eyes, it'd be cheaper for a company to simply purchase laptops with decent hardware specs, and run the LLMs locally. I've had decent results from various models I've run via LMStudio, and bonus points: It costs nothing and doesn't even use all that much CPU/GPU power. Just my opinion as a FORMER senior software dev (disabled now).
Electricity is not free. If you do the math, online LLMs are much cheaper. And this is before considering capabilities/speed.
Netflix used to be $8/month for as many streams and password-shares as you wanted for a catalog that met your media consumption needs. It was a great deal back then. But then the bill came due.
Online LLM companies are positioning themselves to do the same bait-and-switch techbro BS we've seen over the last 15+ years.

We must run in different circles as it were, I hear this raised frequently on a number of podcasts I listen to.
name the podcasts
I don't catalog shows and episodes where any particular topic comes up, and I follow over 100 podcasts so I don't have a specific list you can fact check me on.
Personally I could care less if that means you choose not to believe that I hear the Taiwan risk come up often enough.

> adoption is low to nonexistent outside of programming In the last few months, every single non-programmer friend I've met has ChatGPT installed on their phone (N>10). Out of all the people that I know enough to ask if they have ChatGPT installed, there is only one who doesn't have it (my dad). I don't know how many of them are paying customers though. IIRC one of them was using ChatGPT to translate academic writing…
I’ve been trying out locally run models on my phone. The iPhone 17 is able to run some pretty nice models, but they lack access to up to date information from the web like ChatGPT has. Wonder if some company like Kagi would offer some api to let your local model plug in and run searches.
There are other companies that provide these tools for anything supporting MCP.
