Ok but the ad does at least talk about how it's replacing your engineers' time spent doing repetitive calculations.

LLM pitches are about how you can reduce you and your employees to drudges by removing the need for you to think.

My kid and I are trying to get something done with an airline that requires talking to a person.

On our third roguelike pass through the phone tree, it asked whether we wanted to "talk to an agent", and my kid immediately said "no", meaning we had to start again.

I asked why, and my kid says "we're trying to find a person, not an agent".

That's what, less than three years for my kid to associate the term "agent" with "having my time wasted".

I used to manage a team that did automatic analysis of all the incoming ads at a major tech company for stuff like smut, gambling, etc.

Eng had a pretty amazing system set up create an n-million dimensional vector out of each landing page and would run a process overnight to cluster them and find the ones that landed next to our corpus of tagged ones. Millions of pages per day, amazing stuff.

So yeah I've seen the power of automated classification systems first hand, I have gotten bonuses for allowing that company to "reassign" people who had been working on manual classifications.

I can imagine that systems similar to that is very useful in medical diagnosis. What's different now is that half the engineers and all the managers think the machine is the genie from _Aladdin_, and I don't think that delusion is separable from how work actually gets done anywhere now.

I actually spent time as a labrat making gels and exposing them on film and whatnot, and I can absolutely understand the temptation to throw the blobs at a machine to tell me what to think about them.

I must admit that I strongly suspect a similar amount of verification is being done for LLM health research (like from one week to the next every doctor and therapist decided they wanted to record my consultation and send it to openai, there's zero chance that process has actually been vetted except to look at the price tag).

So I'm sure it _feels_ to the practitioners that they're making huge progress in the medical field, just like it does to everybody else who uses one. I think that's the biggest danger here, they are far better at making people think they are productive than they are at actually delivering it.

This is content for men to feel a little validation from women.

My read is that men want that just as much as they want validation from other men, but the behaviors that a big subset of male culture demands to validate other men grosses women out.

I'm imagining the consumers are men who don't like women so much and just want to hear something positive, and men who aren't exactly sure how to make a connection with a woman in today's environment.

They're not fucking around:

> Richard Stallman has also embarked upon a decades-long political project to normalize sexual violence. Under his ideological leadership, the free software movement is unsafe, particularly for women. Women represent just 3% of the free software community,[2] compared to 23% of industry programmers generally.[3] This is no accident. There is a pervasive culture of sexism and a stark lack of accountability in free software, and it begins with Stallman’s unchallenged and reprehensible behavior.

Imo there is a fair amount of splash damage as well, because (as a person who has never gone to an in-person software convention), some of the stuff he's reported to have done over and over again, on stage, is profoundly gross.
