Except of course for technical degrees: those skills are highly transferrable to many real life, money saving skills you can use your entire life (just kidding you will never own a home and would never want to work on your landlords house)
For certain people i think "entry level" for nix means trying to re-read tutorials every couple of years and it never ever feeling comfortable or memorable... but somehow it still itches in the back of your mind that this is how things are suppose to be done. But why is it so... different?
They have already proven they absolutely COULD tag everything with evidence of how much came from an original author/artist. Google's image generator has that hidden signature feature that can publicize ai generated, but they don't go the step further back to the real source. Just "it came from ai" aheeyuk pay us
"Oh no lonely teen you are absolutely correct! Borax does cause incredible harm to the human digestive system, enough to end whatever suffering you seem to be experiencing. Here is a coupon code for 10% off borax, and 20% off funeral services, and 20 cents of bonus crypto if you sign your parents up for InternetBeanz!"
They dont have to be, they just have to be smart enough to remove anything that sounds like a brand from a "good cloud model". This is barely beyond if-else if we start tracking all brands doing the advertising
And for the rest, why not wait a few months until the cheap Chinese model is on par (or better)?
If OpenAI introduced ads to my workflow after all the money I've paid them, there's 0 loyalty or "ethically American" purchase decision vs paying the Chinese.
It also is impossible to work properly: either they also screwup the entire API to break everyones programmatic access to coding and regular apps, or else everyone just starts making wrappers around the API to make without-ad-chatbots
Why would they need ads on API though, API is paid usage. They just need a few years of scaling for it to be profitable. Some models are already a net profit on API usage.
So lets see a $60k robot, lets say the whole economy crashes and money means nothing so they just call it $30k for kicks and giggles. Super cheap power since elon owns all the land now, he can have a tiny nuclear reactor every few house lengths. So $1 a day for power : 30365 / 365 days a year is about $80 a day in the first year, or maybe $40 a day assuming the reactors dont melt down for 2 years. So that is about 2 forced cokes down your throat per hour, 4 if you are a "known criminal" who is being robo-babysat. And that is still zero profit for elon because he has to shuffle all his assets around to the next farce of a fucking company
This is hypothetical, in the spirit of your "economy crashes and money means nothing": if one has zero profit (in dollars) but somehow manages to own all the land and run the country, I'd say he profited a lot. Land and ruling are more tangible than money.
Good. The smartest and best should be cutting out middlemen and selling something of their own instead of keep shoveling all the money up the company pyramids. I think the pyramids will become easier and easier to spot their trash and avoid
Has any project tried forcing a planning layer as //TODO all throughout the code before making any changes? small loops like one //TODO at a time? What about limiting changes to a function at a time to remain focused? Or is everyone a slave to however the model was designed and currently they are designed for giant one-shot generations only?
Is it possible that all local models need to be better is more context used to make simpler smaller changes at a time? I haven't seen enough specific comparisons of how local models fail vs the expensive cloud models.
This can't really be the full story, or else people would have already come up with the "first line developer" like first line support. There is a dumbass or executive who creates that first 70 or 80%. Then hands off the entire thing to a professional developer to keep working on it.
The AI people sure dont want that, thats too telling about its limitations and value
