That much steel is worth a good bit.

A hallmark of this era. Why please those you serve when you can instead infuriate them with a fraction of the effort and still turn a profit?

Obviously, it's nice to be a centaur, and it's horrible to be a reverse centaur. There are lots of AI tools that are potentially very centaur-like, but my thesis is that these tools are created and funded for the express purpose of creating reverse-centaurs, which is something none of us want to be.

Insightful piece, and though long, is worth a read from top to bottom.

It happened recently. No time for cobwebs and rodents to settle in. If you watch long enough, a furniture crew will come and disassemble the desks and cubicle walls.

This is the right strategy. Storage space costs nothing these days. Why not just clone and go? That's what I always say.

Why, you can just 'inherit' some code by copying a block, pasting it, then making a few small changes. No thinking, no problem.

Ok, I'm off to copy of my code folder for the next release.

Ah ha, OpenAI's logo is a diagram of their business model.

One thing that rings true with me: The process of creation is transforms the creator. Generative AI takes that away.

The human learns nothing, thinks critically about nothing, explores nothing. They are unchanged with nothing to show for effort, ultimately replaceable.

Generative AI turns the human gift of creativity and reasoning into a mindless act of commoditized consumption.

The BBC had a segment on tonight claiming that a stack of $100 bills reaching 1/3 the distance to the moon is worth $1 trillion.
