  • Why would it be strange to him that anyone is getting bullied? It’s incredibly common especially in workplaces

    Because it’s not common everywhere. I’m sure it happens everywhere but it’s a lot more common in certain places and industries. That’s why it’s strange to them.

    Where do you live if I may ask?

    I currently live in friendly Belleville, Ontario, Canada, it’s a city of 50K. I was born in the UK, grew up in Australia, and have lived / spent a lot of time in a few other countries as well.










  • But I don’t think it’s the best option if you consider everyone involved.

    Can you expand on this? Do you mean from an environmental perspective because of the resource usage, social perspective because of jobs losses, and / or other groups being disadvantaged because of limited access to these tools?


  • It is the best option for certain use cases. OpenAI, Anthropic, etc sell tokens, so they have a clear incentive to promote LLM reasoning as an everything solution. LLM read is normally an inefficient use of processor cycles for most use cases. However, because LLM reasoning is so flexible, even though it’s inefficient from a cycle perspective, it is still the best option in many cases because the current alternatives are even more inefficient (from a cycle or human time perspective).

    Identifying typos in a project update is a task that LLMs can efficiently solve.

    except genAI has proven no purpose

    Generative AI has spawned an awful amount of AI slop and companies are forcing incomplete products on users. But don’t judge the technology by shitty implementations. There are loads of use cases where when used correctly, generative AI brings value. For example, in document discovery in legal proceedings.
