Pretty soon they'll find that humans are less expensive for a given amount of work.

    Dogs will do it for belly rubs and $20 in kibble

    I think the issue is LLMs can't do a humans job, only be a tool for a human to use. And the tasks it's good at weren't large bottlenecks to begin with.

    That's a lot of words just to reiterate what OC said. None of your examples disagree with the fact that these companies are using AI for a ton of stuff they're not good at. And the stuff it is good at are not bottlenecks. If you removed LLMs from the face of the planet today, code quality will not suffer significantly. Sure, doing code review en masse is good. But that is not what was holding back computer programming. It's existence is not progressing software in any significant way either. It's a nice to have, not a must have. Code was fine for four decades without LLMs. Indeed it makes me wonder, if a machine learning model was purpose made to do code review, instead of general purpose LLMs doing it, how much better it could be, if we actually leveraged what they're good at.

    Replace Elon with AI, would save Tesla far more and you would avoid future CyberTrucks

    I think this is especially hilarious that musk owns both Tesla and Grok.

    I would have thought they'd get access to xAI's models for very cheap.

    Grok really isn't that good, though. So few people use it that xAI are renting out most of their AI servers to both Anthropic and Google.

    Make the employees run the AI on their computers instead of a data center

    Looks like tokenmaxxing is working.

    Why don't we use the word "spending" anymore?

    $200 a week is still a lot, to be fair. (Yes I know the tokens are subsidized)

    Ai spend

    If the 'journalist' uses salesbro jargon, the only thing I want from them is a deal on this used Buick.

  • They are tying pay and benefits to your personal AI usage, last i heard, so its not that they are freely deciding to use this shit.

    I occasionally will use the output from an AI that got generated when I did a Google search. But I can't imagine I'd ever be willing to pay for that.
