Surely this bankrupts dollar general

At minimum, the Roblox company is taking advantage of children by:

  • Taking a large cut of the revenue and obfuscating that information
  • Devs are paid in Robux and the conversion to real currency involves an unfavorable exchange rate with a high minimum

Even if they did... Reddit would just find new mods and reopen it. They wouldn't let it remain abandoned.

I imagine all of this data collection would greatly improve AI around browser use? That could be a feature with enough draw in the consumer space.

Rich CEOs will want all their employees using it and only web apps so that they can try to use that data to replace them. Their perplexity dashboard will have a list of all their employees, AI's fine-tuned on that employee's data.

The future is bright... /s

proof of concepts do have value, just not production value

I'm also annoyed by how "in the face" it has been, but that's just how marketing teams have used it as the hype train took off. I sure do hope it wanes, because I'm just as sick of the "ASI" psychos. It's just a tool. A novel one, but a tool nonetheless.

What do you mean "black box"? If you mean [INSERT CLOUD LLM PROVIDER HERE] then yes. So don't feed sensitive data into it then. It shouldn't be in your codebase anyway.

Or run your own LLMs

Or run a proxy to sanitize the data locally on its way to a cloud provider

There are options, but it's really cutting edge so I don't blame most orgs for not having the appetite. The industry and surrounding markets need to mature still, but it's starting.

Models are getting smaller and more intelligent, capable of running on consumer CPUs in some cases. They aren't genius chat bots the marketing dept wants to sell you. It won't mop your floors or take your kid to soccer practice, but applications can be built on top of them to produce impressive results. And we're still so so early in this new tech. It exploded out of nowhere but the climb has been slow since then and AI companies are starting to shift to using the tool within new products instead of just dumping the tool into a chat.

I'm not saying jump in with both feet, but don't bury your head in the sand. So many people are very reactionary against AI without bothering to be curious. I'm not saying it'll be existential, but it's not going away, I'm going to make sure me and my family are prepared for it, which means keeping myself informed and keeping my skillset relevant.
