And C-Suites are freaking the fuck out (my company) because we’re completing all of the work in <40 hours per week, which causes them to lose money lmao It is so fucking wild to me how no one sees the glaring problem here
All of this AI shit should’ve stayed as nothing more and nothing less than a tool to make the very monotonous work done by everyone just a tad easier.
It feels like we’re in such a massive fucking bubble right now on the scale of how people have talked about the sub prime mortgage crisis.
My boomer ass parents just keep telling me to wait for things to get better, but how can you wait for things to get better when things are just statistically worse for everyone
The only time I use LLMs is when some dickhead sends me an email that could have been one sentence but through the powers of ChatGPT has been made into four paragraphs of empty bullshit. I tell ChatGPT to turn my one sentence reply into a long reply. Then I tell it longer. Then I tell it longer. Then I copy and paste that bullshit and fire it off to Mr. LLM and hope he chokes.
I had some fun turning technical stuff into Mao-style speech. Failing to perform critical updates is a twelfth type of liberalism.

And this is a change due to using an LLM? Assuming so, I’m absolutely astonished. Can I ask what work the quicker workers do, and how an LLM has helped them to be quicker?
a lot of my job is ‘emails’ but I can’t just use a LLM for responses - it’d be so obviously bad and hallucinate solutions to problems that don’t exist. god I wish.
If you have enough emails from your job you could fine-tune one of the models on them and it would probably do pretty okay. It’d be really cheap cus it’s not that much data, assuming you don’t have the hardware to do it yourself.
Thanks for your response. Alas, I’m still completely oblivious as to how ChatGPT helps you work quicker.

This is a massive problem. Boomers cannot get it through their heads that it is not going to get better
It probably will. Human history is mostly a series of shit getting worse, then getting a lot better. We may one day hit an insurmountable wall, but I don’t think this is it. The trick is that it won’t get better on its own. People have to actively give a shit to make things better.

The trick is that the conditions for people to make things better need to exist first. What I mean by saying that things are not going to get better is because the conditions to make things better dont exist in the US right now. I’m not making a pessimistic statement just a realistic one about the current conditions in the US

If the work can be done by an AI LLM it does not need doing. I’m serious here. Power to the workers to use it to make their job easier due to bullshit rules but even viewed through a capitalist lense at the point where whatever you require can be done by a markov chain cranked to 11 and it’s not nigerian prince scams you’d be better off not doing it. It’s just theater at that point
How does completing your work faster make the company lose money?
