if i plug my ears and close my eyes the 16% neocloud bond yields suddenly don't look so bad

refreshing to see amongst the endless tide of "i haven't written a single piece of code since 2025, llms are so good that they have already replaced everyone" gaslighting

you dont get it, the protocol is flawless

i suppose that links back to the other comment i made - is hype the root issue you are trying to get at?

would be interesting to see what examples there are of this in recent history

worse for the consumer or the provider? if the llm is going to fundamentally do a "worse" job no matter what the incentive (whatever that is, maximising profit, maximising claims, whatever that may be) we will end up with the "more efficient" system in charge

the counterpoint to this (which i guess is the tenet of the original comment?) is that hype can shadow good judgement for a short period of time?

> What's scary isn't that these models are so good they'll replace us, but that despite how limited they are, someone will make the decision to replace humans anyway.

is this a real threat? if a system/company decides to replace a human with something that is less capable wouldn't that just result in it becoming irrelevant/bankrupt as it is replaced by other companies doing the same thing the more efficient (and in this case traditional) way?

thanks

that would be cool, but wouldn't something simpler like electrolysis of water into hydrogen/oxygen work much better? I haven't the effort to do the math, but it would require less steps, less complexity, and less cutting edge catalysts with unknown lifetimes

C3H8 + 5O2 => 3CO2 + 4H20

reminder that propane burns into CO2 - this process doesn't actually unlock any new energy source, it merely just reverses a reaction that has already taken place (presumably with electricity or some other form of energy)

this isn't some kind of miracle infinite energy source to solve climate change woes, more like an interesting way to convert one usable form of energy (electricity) into another (a petrochemical)

chromebooks can boot from other sources in developer mode, pressing ctrl + u on startup brings up a generic SeaBIOS when certain flags are enabled from crosh

A lot of the comments seem to repeat the "just like how GPT is using our content we created" sort of reasoning - whether that you agree with that or not, I don't see how that justifies the bill for your usage being out of someone else's (not openAIs) pocket?
