In real time we’ve seen “LLMs are the future” becomethe AI research into AGI is the future”. What’s the next movement of the goal post?

Have you ever seen an instagram post where someone flashes wealth they don’t truly have? Be it a rented Lamborghini or a stack of twenty dollar dolls? Or a stack of ones with a couple hundred obfuscating the other denominations?

There are more incentives to flaunt success then bankruptcy. Even if the success isn’t real.

Hi Philip! This tool looks amazing!

My company specializes in selling to underserved communities in the AMEA region. Can your product help me connect with LGBT customers specifically in the Sudan and Saudi Arabia? Thanks!

PS can I get their exact addresses as well as the addresses of their family members and community leaders?

Is this OP's problem or LinkedIn's problem? If he's just searching their data, can he really be blamed for making that work better?

This shouldn't be downvoted as it raises an important point about privacy and safety.

> If the Challenger launch had been pushed back what major effects would there have been?

An administrator would’ve missed a promotion.

I think it’s not even a missed promotion but a perceived risk of one- which may or may not be accurate.

That is a very uncharitable thing to say unless you have proof.

What was the public sentiment of the Shuttle at the time? What was Congress sentiment? Was there organizational fear in NASA that the program would be cancelled if launches were not timely?

Except the article turns out to be accurate (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40728179)

So I guess the publisher and author should get credit. I'll leave others to discuss the misleading comment...

Hah. A lot of tech folks like to trash journalists (it's fine, I get it, there's legitimate reasons) ... but then misread source content that the journalist interpreted better/correctly.

People need to stop giving Musk credit for the macro economic conditions of 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.

A lot of the stock gains had nothing to do with Teslas executive decisions during that time frame.

Musk’s compensation package did not only have goals related to the stock but also profit and production

I bought it for iOS and it failed to load on my iPhone 15 pro despite showing compatibility and successfully installing (multiple times).

I have no clue how they can sell games that don’t even start and the App Store allows it.

Edit: looks like it was fixed in May 2024 including a reset of its App Store reviews? So you can sell a product that doesn’t work at all and Apple will flush all your bad reviews when you get it working? Nice.

My prediction is it’s going to increasingly call traditional software under the hood but credit the AI as innovation.

It's similar to us. We can reason about certain things but we often have to look up additional information in a book or ask someone. In the same way I see LLMs being augmented with traditional code. It doesn't really matter if the result is called AI or not.

I strongly disagree. Wildly overvalued companies disrupt the economy and present huge risks - see Tesla or Nvidia (currently valued at $100m per employee - $3T market cap / 30k employees)

“Knowing somebody at Google” has long been the best customer support route for non enterprise customers, which represents almost all google customers (per capita).
