bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

It didn't "go rogue". It did what it was instructed to do. In a sophisticated way but nonetheless we have to stop assigning human agency to AI systems. Everything that happened here was as a result of human designed and instructed systems.

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10% productivity gain. Ben fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000% productivity gain..."

“I think actually things will move maybe even by the end of this year to where you don't even bother doing coding. The AI just creates the binary directly.” “Doing coding.” The AI just creates “the binary” directly. Ok.

58,000 people watching the livestream. Feels like we could get this to a million in the next hour. Would make a great headline.

This is so goddamn embarrassing.

@maxrushden.bsky.social another idea to fix VAR that everyone can get mad about ... In hockey, if you challenge and you're wrong, you get a 2 min penalty Going down to 10 people would reduce VAR checks for sure...

I'm going to use a LLM to code a LLM agent to fix the problems that the other LLM created is peak LLM.

All the developers 404 Media talked to were excited to try using LLMs at work at first, or were at least curious about them. Their feelings about the tools, based on their personal experience, are now overwhelmingly negative. AI is rotting their brains www.404media.co/software-dev...
