Stuff like this is what made me understand that the MBA class is full of incompetent people who focus too much on networking and too little on learning how things work.

Worth pointing out that you can run models locally on consumer hardware that are as good as frontier models from ~3 months ago (and that gap is getting smaller and smaller) which solves ever single problem listed in this post

Just tell the ai it isn’t being a team player, that should fix it

I have NFI how anyone is able to spend more on tokens than humans cost unless they're legitimately retarded

It is essentially the platonic perfect form of enshittification, just aimed at business customers, instead of consumers.

The ultimate form of capital canibalizing itself, and everything else.

Any CEO that couldn't rub two neurons together and like, immediately realize that this is what would happen, that this is the business model, is definitionally catastrophically incompetent.

They merely proved that they are dumber than highly inefficient autocomplete algorithms, that they're arguably not actually conscious.

They are nothing but cogs in a more ephemeral machinery of mindsets and unquestioned assumptions.

These collosal dumbasses likely won't actually be fired by their boards for this astronomical fuck up, by the logic of the system they are slaves to... because capitalism is simply a mask worn, a charade danced by the same kind of elitist, maniacal, psycho and sociopathic impulse toward extreme power and control that has always cursed our species.

Its ultimately a fear response. A misdirected, very complex fear response. 'Bad things can happen, bad people can do bad things, thus I must erect walls and pay guards and force farmers to toil and waste away to feed the guards, so that I can be safe in my castle.'

These LLMs, they can be used in sensible and broadly beneficial ways. They're not 'superintelligence', but they can be genuinely useful when used responsibly, with safeguards, by people well trained in their use, just like any other human technology.

Perhaps we actually need a 'technology' that punishes, dissuades, redirects or moderates this suicidal impluse latent in us, to create an unsustainable degree of control over others.

A reconceptualization of ourselves and our society.

Perhaps the world needs an idea whose time has come...

... radical egalitarian empathy, solidarity, a collective understanding that we are all ultimately clever apes that ditched the body hair for sweating, who are all much more similar than we are different...

... a flattened power hierarchy with participation from more equal positions and between actors with less singular power, a restructured society that uses the tools and resources we have to guarantee a basic level of material security for all...

... a mindset that understands that freeing the masses from want, securing for all the bottom rung or two of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, that that is the truest form of actual personal safety and security that any individual can possibly achieve, in this world of ours filled with us easily frightened and frenzied apes.

Not a stranger, corporation, their employees, their advertising partners, their external consulting companies, their safety reviewers from Africa and India. It's like you talk what you do everyday to small city of people.

oh no no no, i just spent a week at a conference where EVERYONE wanted to talk about the permission problem.

You spend more money, to subscribe to a system that firewalls the agents from doing things out of their defined scope. but it's based on AI so you have to pay for tokens for that system too.

The unifying thread across all high-control systems, from the earliest monarchies to industrial barons to modern tech-accelerationism and the maga movement, is the exploitation of manufactured fear and artificial scarcity to consolidate power and wealth while demanding unquestioning tribal loyalty. They also offer subscriptions for protection from the issues they made too, some called tithes, and others this way.

I love how the AI just stops working if the tokens are gone.

They can't be coerced into working overtime. They can't be threatened with being fired. They do what is in their contract, and that is the end of it.

Don't like it? Go find an other AI that will do exactly the same.

Loyalty has been gone from the workplace for quite some time and if you're loyal to where you work you're a fool.

this seems to be written with AI as well

You gave your corporate competitors access to all that.

Isn't this ignoring the actual obvious problem which is: you can't actually replace employees with AI?

I feel like I'm going nuts. I have a small consultancy with a half dozen employees. Sure Gen AI might give us a 10% efficiency bump in the future with the current tech at it's ideal implementation, which remains a decade away IMO.

I'd love for some automaton to be able to do my job but that's just not my reality.
