Reposted by @caziva.bsky.socialAlejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 11hWe've already seen it with mathematics. Math is relatively easy because correct solutions are easily verifiable.

Reposted by @caziva.bsky.socialAlejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 12hThis is right. The issue is that LLMs are at best a $50 billion/year revenue type business and they've invested in it like it's going to be $500 billion/year in revenue or more. The mismatch is potentially trillions in capex overspend which is enough to cause a deep recession when the bubble pops. 1135356
Reposted by @caziva.bsky.socialBetter Things Are Possible @internethippo.bsky.social · 13hI think it's closer to the truth that LLMs *can* save time on *some tasks* which can be valuable *if* you monitor them and check their output. But that doesn't get you a trillion dollars so they have to squint into the middle distance and say stupid sci fi bullshit instead 543296391
