Right, they’re MAGIC!

Not being built out of conditional branches or loops does not mean they’re somehow outside algorithms or computation. Learned parameters don’t confer exemption from computing.

Did the engineered system behave as intended? No? Then you’ve got a gd bug/failure.

Accumulated cruft is the CF cost for an API.

Correct. AI doesn’t magically smuggle in a totally different species of human. Scarcity is merely one layer of the human clusterfuck.

> What do the people who own robots need money for?

For the same reason they currently “need” more money than they require.

This is straight-up Mr. Rogers political economy. This whole thing assumes primates aren’t gonna primate.

“OneNote wiped the floor with Evernote” sure says a lot about how stagnant Evernote got.

Anything in particular? My experience has been like seeing the addition of retractable cupholders, but maybe different domains.

I like some of this. That said, if the system takes previous states containing information about a car’s location and motion, transforms that information through a giant learned mathematical function, and produces a later state with the car appropriately displaced, something computational happened, no? It wasn’t necessarily a conventional physics simulation integrating velocity through every intermediate timestep. That’s somewhat fascinating. But “therefore nothing was computed,” I mean, not really.

Just like how the car gave us back so many more hours to spend actually living instead of working. And the washing machine. And the computer. And the Internet.

Excel absolutely contains autonomous behavior. And current AI systems still require humans all over the place.

Precisely. Unlike all those other occasions when Jensen’s pronouncements descended from Mount Sinai.

This somehow has less personality than plain enterprise software. How IBM.

Over my long career, this may take the cake when it comes to all time software turds. This reeks of desperation.

Nobody in product development saw the need to leave behind a "Classic" version as a clue that this new bloated abomination is subpar?

It’s hostile trash. Cloudflare can eat me.
