"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

‘A CHILLING EFFECT’: How OpenAI’s massive math breakthrough is ‘DESTROYING’ early careers (www.youtube.com)

This past week, OpenAI dumped a staggering trove of answers to elusive math problems solved by its internal artificial intelligence models – the mathematics world isn’t happy about it. “What are they trying to achieve? I don’t know. They’re just destroying early-career mathematicians with a PR stunt,” says NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster. Buckmaster and his collaborator Levent Alpöge had made significant progress on solving an historic math equation before OpenAI’s model beat them to it. They’ve “destroyed the whole incentive system for science and mathematics.”

No idea why they would ignore such direct existential danger for their companies.

Risk Management (that's what they named the LLM after they fired the people responsible for that) is probably telling them that there will be a huge pool of willing applicants to work for less money than the people they let go, that talent is fungible, etc.

The real fun part is when people start asking for hiring bonuses to come in and unfuck the company slop. They won't start trying to hire people until they start losing customers which means the quality of the product is lower than it was when they took on the customer. If it takes them longer to fix their codebase than it would for a competitor to start from scratch and outdo them on marketing or advertising, then they'll go under.
