The latest Opus routinely tells me the latest GPT Pro responses are much better. The GPT responses cost 10x more than GPT at least. And GPT takes 10’s of minutes. So unless and until I’m needing and ready for a really expensive “math checker” it gets left alone.
First amendment applies to citizens, not just “media organizations”. Serious contradiction between your major advocacy about protecting ICE and your minor hedge to avoid getting ghosted.
As a parent, I think people overestimate the average quality of pre-AI children’s content.
Also interesting to look beyond children’s work at the incredible amount of “book mill” content that has dominated publishing for hundreds of years.
We rightly celebrate the good ones, but most content before AI was not good. So not surprising that the AI trained on that corpus is of similar quality.
That being said, I think this is just an opportunity to improve AI content, which is a human/computer interface design challenge. This technology is here to stay. Our focus should be on detection and improving the LLMs.
I’ve had luck formalizing this into some post-LLM rules to clean crappy default AI content before I work with it: https://slopwash.com
I’m in the same boat. AI can gen better UI forms, and a database is a database is a database. Customers want MCP and API access to do their own thing on their own terms. Model co’s and folks like Palantir come in to “partner” but the writing is on the wall.
So what are we going to do about it? Genuinely up for a startup here.
I love this. It speaks to me in a similar ways as a lot of the AI zeitgeist—why shouldn’t we optimize for how the brain actually operates at scale versus hundreds-years-old ideas about ligatures designed for reading in candlelight? (In the AI case, a romanticism for having to learn and prove memory in such a rote way)
A little of a tangent, but I always thought it’d be cool to have certain libraries printed out in very high quality as posters. Redux was one example in particular—something very concise yet powerful and kind of worth admiring to that extent.
