For the people peddling LLMs this is actually good news:

1. Force AI down everyone's throats claiming it's going to boost productivity

2. See people lose valuable skills because they rely too much on AI

3. Peddle more AI to make up for the lack of skills in professionals

The main skill you need to reach that level is the one they always keep practicing: shmoozing. Thinking is not required as an executive, so you cannot lose what you never had.

And being born wealthy requires zero skill or practice.

There will be an agent that closes questions for being slightly off-topic soon if there isn't already.

Up until I read "AI servers" I honestly thought the headline would say "workers," which triggered a secondary thought: "At least it's better treatment than Amazon warehouse workers..."

That's why executives are pushing for LLMs everywhere in businesses: to ensure the floor goes up for everyone. A few productive stars who don't alter the expectations baseline for everyone. That way, all need to work harder, so the execs get to pocket the benefits.

Whether AI actually makes people more productive is irrelevant: you just declare that people need to do more for the same amount of money and in the same amount of time, and employees have to scramble. Just dangle that carrot a little further out so the donkeys work harder.

Most people I know who are bombarded by worthless updates every minute either ignore them but don't bother to disable any or are glued to their phones anyway, so they are beyond help.

So true and it's been like that for ages. It's why I called these people rogue data scientists five years ago:

> Give up your weekends and nights.

So you can work for an employer that expects weekends and nights too. At least people either burn out or they get used to the hustle...

I suppose for people crippled by a traumatic memory it would be beneficial though I'm not sure if that could truly wipe it from your mind with all associated emotions and thoughts. That's why they acknowledge that in the article and suggest modifying emotions or the intensity thereof instead.

FYI in mice (for now)

Looks and sounds interesting... Is there anything beyond glue that makes the Qwen models it uses better for development than what you get with local models through Ollama in an IDE or editor of your choice?

- Sycophantic CHECK

- Stock phrases CHECK

- Repackaged "wisdom" CHECK

- Expensive without being valuable CHECK

- Verbose without much actual substance CHECK

- No real accountability or consequences for bad decisions/ information CHECK

Sounds as if MBAs and LLMs are already mostly interchangeable...
