Limited Liability Model.

Human doctor earns trust though qualification and training period, has accountability to professional regulator, likely feels remorse for mistakes (even for misfortune) and, ultimately, can be sued or criminally prosecuted if they really fuck someone over.

Once an LLM has all that ‘skin in the game’ , i might consider trusting it with something important. TBH the remorse thing is the hardest to prove but the most important to build trust (IMO).

Irresponsible teachers without ar-15 or at least an uzi-9mm (those’ve been keeping israel safe from palestinian kids for decades).

Fixed charges may sometimes cover stuff like cleanup , decommissioning and waste management for nukes - if anyone actually cares about such things. Dunno if that’s the case in Georgia though. Nukes are complex long term things and they and their legacy often outlast the builder and operator companies - so they often will be , de-facto, “socialised” , one way or another.

Don’t do it kids.

Loot-boxes for the corporate world.

Is anyone checking that the AI itself isn’t “wasting” tokens to try to get them to buy more.

Write a bot, to generate lines of plausible but bullshit code. Even if they pay 1p per 1000 lines . . . it’d be worth it just for the shits. Maybe even just random character strings, see if they’ll pay for it.

I’m not so sure, I think they only really payout to the highest bidder. And you can be outbid at any time before the payout. At least with listed stocks you get some info in audited financial statements.
If it’s your first time buying Senator, please make sure to request their audited accounts before you invest.

Even Stringer Bell got repeatedly fleeced by Clay Davis.

How is AI financed in China?

They might have invested a lot, which can under-perform; but did they let all banks and markets engage in speculative viscous cycle? If not then ‘bubble’ has different connotations.

I didn’t read the article, ‘Access Denied’; so it’s a genuine question.

I reckon, the medium of literature is probably more like the author or reader’s (shared?) imagination, the words are just the chisel used to shape what you imagine, and if it works you get something like the experience they wanted.

The ai can copy the tools, but does it think about how it is shaping your imagination with them? I doubt, probably not current LLMs, only in as far as they might choose to plagiarise work of someone who had some vision, but how can we know?

I mean, that’s basically what Shakespeare did with his monkey farm, isn’t it? Or did he sell that to Jorge Luis Borges to fill the worlds most useless library?

Same is probably true of an art photograph, you’d think flock, or google street cams , or anpr cams would create loads of art photos. But they’re not aiming to captures something extra that isn’t technically in the image (feelings, mood, , culture ) but that the audience can read into it, based on style, lighting , colouring or context.

What was that Denmark sorry about going back to MS office?

Its already shite, but now there will be no actual support and less real user testing. Oh no, i forgot! The paying customers are the testing team.

“pause” . . .

Can we tell it to “sit n the corner for 5 minutes too”?

Yes.

I know how my tools work to some degree. I know when they get dull, become inefficient, and need sharpening, or grease, or cleaning.

Because of that i can sometimes appraise alternative and new versions’ advantages and disadvantages, and choose (with at least a semi-informed judgement) when an upgrade might be worth more than the transition/investment/retraining cost. I’ve got it wrong some times, and learned from those mistakes. I get better at managing risks with them.

Some jobs i just know I’d better sharpen them more oftten, i can plan for that. I know how to maintain and even improve them. I can sometimes adapt them, or complementary systems, to make them better at specialised purposes.

I mostly own them, especially the ones that i cherish; I have an incentive to maintain, upgrade and make complementary investments.

I’m sure someone can do all that stuff with AI; but not me, so it’s not a tool to me. Some of my tool requirements seem to be very far out of reach.

Yes, in my experience its goes like:

me: " This is a problem for us"

them: “Your ‘problem’ is simple. I can fix it, easy. Here is the fix, you’re welcome.”

me: “Great! how does it work? how do we test it? did you get management to assign some resources for this?”

them: "oh, this was vibecoded, so I’m not providing support , maintenance or user testing - that’s your job isn’t it? Here’s a 250-page ‘documentation’. I haven’t read it, but I ran it through a second LLM and asked that to fix any errors. So there’s probably only a few left that you should be able to fix in a few minutes. "

me: " I will take up work on a farm administering anal suppositories to sick horses because that will be a thousand times more tolerable . . ."

them: " . . . by the way - it just operates using dummy data for now. You’ll just need to link it in to the actual database before you release it."

It’s the dumbfuck bankers, investors, pension funds and markets that are really scary.

Of course they learned so many hard lessons when they lost so much got bailed out in 2008, and never faced any regulation.

Also fucked off with any governments pumping the bubble - I know pro-cyclical fiscal policy is now all the rage, but seriously these fuckers . . .

If you refer to a traffic light as a “stop” light then you can interpret red as “do not stop”.

But do they on average, last longer?

That’s the way to “beat” entropy, tread water for as long as possible.

In UK. I have to do 4-5 mandatory online training courses on stuff like this every year. There is harassment/bullying/ not being a dick, health and safety, data protection, money laundering, diversity, maybe more.

Similar for several jobs over the last 10-15 years. Ever since they could develop online courses to do it cheaply.

They still pay me for my time, so what do i care. And I have seen an external consultant get more or less banned from working with us site due to bullying our staff once. It was awesome.

If i was a student/customer I might object to some of that, but all institutions have rules and codes of conduct. Better to know about them up front, rather than find out later and get expelled. It should be offered pre-enrolment though.

Weevil, weevil rock two!
