It annoys me to experience the huge discrepancy between content on social media on AI versus actual enterprise use. AI is happening, it's absolutely becoming integral parts of many businesses including our own. But these guys are just doodling in MS Paint and they're flooding the channels.

Enterprises are in the same situation as you are. Many of them are posting marketing about AI without actually having AI. They are using OpenAI API's to say they have AI. I can count on my hands the number of enterprises that actually have AI models of their own.

And somehow these companies are now "AI companies", just like in the 2010s your average food market down the street was a "tech company" or the bakery next to it is now a "blockchain company". This happens all the time with bubbles and mania.

These enterprises today appear even more confused about what they do to rebrand themselves and it's a sign they are desperate for survival.

just curious, why does an enterprise have to have their own model? company can use ____ (someone else’s model) and still accomplish amazing AI shit in their products

Because I am not permitted to share my code nor client information/data with unapproved third parties; it’s a contractual obligation. So; we train our own models to do those things.

I use Claude Code for building products that don’t have these limitations. And fuck is it amazing. Even little things that would have taken days are done in a single line of text.

I'll believe in AGI when OpenAI stops paying human developers.

I don’t see how this follows. Does AGI mean that it is free to operate and has no hardware / power constraints? The fact that I see people being paid to dig a trench does not make me doubt the existence of trenching machines. It just means that the tool is not always the best choice for every job.

It is that and an autonomous system that can generate $100BN dollars in profits. (OpenAI and Microsoft's definition of AGI)

So maybe when we see a commercial airplane with no human pilots on board but an LLM piloting the plane with no intervention needed?

Would you board such a plane?

Because data protection and privacy compliance hasn’t caught up yet.

or given up under the unceasing pressure from the AI madness.

It's strange that none of these $100s bn+ companies fund empirical research into the effects of AI tools on actual job roles as part of their "benchmarks". Oh wait, no its not.

Agree, it would be bizarre if they did.

It would be bizarre if they benchmarked the models based on actual task performance?

Look at those people shouting this will be AGI / total disruption etc. Seems Elon managed one thing; to amass the dumbest folks together. 99.99% maga, crypto and almost markov chain quality comments.

AGI???? Again, once again, over again, yet again, one more time:

(1) Given triangle ABC, by means of Euclidean construction find point D on line AB and point E on line BC so that the lengths |AD| = |DE| = |EC.

(2) Given triangle ABC, by means of Euclidean construction inscribe a square so that each corner of the square is on a side of the triangle.

Come ON AGI, let's have some RESULTS that human general intelligence can do -- gee, I solved (1) in the 10th grade.

Wasn't Sam Altman claiming AGI is just a couple of years away and OpenAI is at the forefront of it?
