saying AI won't become conscious because it has no evolutionary pressure to share resources is like saying a building won't become tall because there's no leaves for it to chew on

There is someone on my timeline attempting to tell a lawyer that LLMs are good for providing legal advice in criminal matters. That same person is blissfully unaware that AI prompts are not privileged and are readily available on discovery/by subpoena/by warrant.

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

my belief is that at the end of the day, great games are made by groups of people who have high trust with each other & can fluidly execute a shared vision. which is a small part of why these layoffs are so devastating- it's not just about jobs, it's about these "trust structures" being torn apart.

this is also (IMO) why a lot of the covid-era fresh startups fell by the wayside- you can have a studio pedigree 20 pages deep but if there's no trust, then it's hard to really make anything. and trust takes time and continuous shared wins (and shared failures) to build; there isn't a shortcut.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.
