Pretty strong comment in Nature today saying that AGI is here.
"... the conclusion is straightforward: by reasonable standards, including Turing’s own, we have artificial systems that are generally intelligent."

Management quantifies it by giving you a small raise and then denying all promotions as you’re too valuable to move up.
How do you even quantify some team going around to people for weeks trying to figure out why something is happening, and they call you and you have it fixed in 15 minutes.

This is how disney princesses are made
It always freaks me out a little when an animal comes to you to solve a problem for them that's not part of a routine.

I can't see why this would ever be good to do. Dying is a natural part of life and figuring out how to overcome grief and move on is good. Prolonging that for years while trying to trick yourself into thinking they are alive through AI is a terrible way to handle it.

Copper is up 10% today and now I’m wondering if the empty house next to me really needs those wires in the walls

Depending on the model size you might be surprised how much you can do while GPU poor, especially finetuning.
It would be really cool to train it’s own LLM but it highly doubts anyone would give it the GPU time to do it lol

Telsa's stock price is not based on current revenue it is based on his AI and robotics plays. Unless those fail, the revenue doesn't particularly matter

Just in the last 8 weeks the models have gotten exponentially more useful. Seems pretty clear this is a step change in how people will work with code in the future.
Canaries in the coal mine. Worth paying attention to.
(And yes, they are both obviously interested in seeing their own products used, but hearing enough from other, independent coders that make me believe them. I wrote more about the shift here: www.oneusefulthing.org/p/management...)

A significant amount of workers are using AI and then just not telling their bosses they are, so this stat doesn't surprise me at all. In fact the employees you want to keep probably want to cut out dull work with AI and the ones who don't are probably on your layoff list.

There's little reason to convince people of LLMs usefulness they can just be left behind.
Getting tired of hearing "There are literally no use cases for LLMs" from people who think the only way to use an LLM is to type into chatgpt dot com, press enter, and hope for the best

This is why their chat app is one of my least favorites even though codex is great
Having used other LLMs for a bit, the sycophancy of ChatGPT feels quite icky to encounter

Buying and scanning a book for internal use isn't theft. This is actually how it should be done in order to digitize it for LLM training whereas theft would be pirating it
