Slippery slope fallacy

Why not just… have Opus 5.5 build you the website? I would wager that there is minimal value add by passing things back and forth to different services vs just refining in one. But that’s just my personal opinion/experience.

Curious: is your dad tech savvy and do you think he realistically has any desire to manage a website on his own, even if it’s incredibly easy?

Most people aren’t okay with that, but the blame lies in the people who deployed the AI tool in that situation, not the makers of said tool.

The AI providers offer their services to institutions doing those killing. They make money from it. Of course they share part of the guilt

The knife company offers their products to people doing the stabbing. They make money from it. Of course they share part of the guilt.

If the knife was deliberately marketed and sold specifically to someone who the company knew would use it to stab someone, then, yes, the knife company shares part of the guilt.

To imply that the global pandemic and lockdowns didn’t effect social norms going forward is incredibly ignorant. A little more than “getting old”

Not OP but that seems to be the implication. Let’s hear your argument against industrialization being net positive?

> Let’s hear your argument against industrialization being net positive?

The main argument is that it's too early too judge it and at this point basically NO industrial process is sustainable.

All I can say is: THANK YOU!!

Analysis totally excludes enterprise customer demand and or paid API usage which will only increase as apps integrate this into future knowledge work workflows.

Indeed, that is where the money is. Though enterprise is more focused on efficiently than retail and I'm not sure if they won't drift away from frontier models.

Depends on whether the frontier models can keep on offering better performance. The real efficiency is getting work done faster and better.

Compared to a $100k salary, a few hundred dollars a month is insignificant. If you can make the employee even just a few percent more efficient, it’s worth it.

> If you can make the employee even just a few percent more efficient, it’s worth it.

Are/were you in a position to make such decisions or it is a guess? I'm not but given certain evidence I doubt that few percent will cut it. I know some of the richest companies on the planet from SF Bay Area who won't give lunch for free to their engineers. So I'm not sure about "few percent" :-D 10x we were promised, now that is more interesting but we all know that 10x engineers is nonsense.

The cost of a full time knowledge worker in these companies is much, much, higher than the cost of a free lunch so there's more incentive here

How much efficiency is unlocked by providing free lunches? I was under the impression that was purely an expense.

On the other hand enterprises are gearing up to pay for shit like $99/user Agent 365, or paying for huge PTU reservations that go almost completely unused on weekends and holidays.
