"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Not even once did he think whether it was useful or not. We really need to replace CEOs, managers, and the whole C-suite with LLMs, that would be useful for once! And at $20/month, it's a bargain and you can redistribute the money to people who really work.
Nah. Ai also trained on ceo actions, so I'd say it would result in eviler mecha ceo driving the ship drunker than usual
We don't train then on ceo actions. We train them to run a company for the betterment of society, it's people, the employees and its survival.
That requires making decisions, which LLMs can't do. They can only emulate decision-making
I thin you overestimate the value of CEOs.
Not really, we're talking about running companies for the betterment of society, which CEOs don't do, so it's not implied that they would be capable of the thing that I mentioned would be required to do that
Also, they do make decisions. Almost exclusively bad decisions, because they're out of touch with the real world and the lived experiences of ordinary people, and they don't care about right and wrong, and their only concern is "line go up." But even bad decisions are still decisions.
LLMs literally cannot make decisions, good or bad, because that's fundamentally not a capability it possesses. If you ask it to make a decision it will hallucinate something based on any irrelevant details it finds in its context window. It can't perform cognitive reasoning, or weigh pros and cons, or consider secondary and tertiary effects.
Woosh
You need actual examples of a company working for the betterment of society to train the AI though.
So use the workers, not the ceo. We 're firing all those bad employees.
If they were actually firing bad employees then they would start with the executives. The whole AI thing is largely a reflection of what executives think work is, where you just need to prompt your employees better to get better results
I always think that's the reason of AI overconfidence.
Look at it this way: if AI was my boss, got a lots of things kinda wrong and some things totally wrong, I'd just ignore the bs and do my job the way things actually work.
So from employee perspective, CEOs are easy to replace because they just assign work to be done. Because that's the easy part and if you give wrong instructions, someone with actual intelligence and actual hands would eventually do it right.
Flip the coin, and get someone that knows their stuff and let them assign work to incompetent people and or AI, and what do you get? Slop.
That's what I said/meant.
But if we train them on the average co-op you'll get drama instead :/
He sort of did with executive double speak: he said two things by implying the cost wasn't worth it. To justify the poor quality the price has to drop by 90%. That's shareholder speak for "this is not profitable and not worth the debt exposure".
