The Dzungar would like to have a word with you, oh wait.

Moore's law is alive and very well in AI.

Also allows maphacks, not cool.

So, you havent really learned anything from any teacher if you could not do it again without them?

> So, you havent really learned anything from any teacher if you could not do it again without them?

Well, yes?

What do you think "learning" means? If you cannot do something without the teacher, you haven't learned that thing.


That would be the definition of learning something, yes.

I mean...yeah?

If your child says they've learned their multiplication tables but they can't actually multiply any numbers you give them do they actually know how to do multiplication? I would say no.


For some reason people are perfectly able to understand this in the context of, say, cursive, calculator use, etc., but when it comes to their own skillset somehow it's going to be really different.

Yes that's exactly right.

Yes.

He is using a lot less computing power where it counts, his own.

That is the value of other companies doing that and you going to poach those new seniors. With the money you saved not training those juniors you can offer better salaries and still have higher profits.

If I were a competent adversary like Iran i would constantly float bets against an US attack and the moment somebody bites, I alarm the air defenses.


What will happen is pretty obvious. Those companies will either be classified as too important to fail and get government support or go bankrupt and will be bought for pennies on the dollar. For the customers nothing much will change since tokens are getting cheaper every year and the business is already pretty profitable. Progress will slow down massively till local open weight models catch up to pre-crash SotA and go on from there.


> the business is already pretty profitable

As of March 2026, OpenAI generates annual revenue exceeding $12 billion. However, the costs of running ChatGPT are around $17 billion a year.

Big improvement I remember when they were spending billions and getting no profit.


It also increases the number of former customers.


This leak just contributed to a new former customer, me. Flagging these phrases may explain exactly why I noticed cc almost immediatly change into grok lvl shit and never recover. Seriously wtf. (flagged again lol)


That question is equivalent to asking a human to add the wavelengths of those two colors and divide it by 3.


Unless you're aware of hyperspectral image adapters for LLMs they aren't capable of that either.


Unfair - human beats AI in this comparison, as human will instantly answer "I don't know" instead of yelling a random number.

Or at best "I don't know, but maybe I can find out" and proceed to finding out/ But he is unlikely to shout "6" because he heard this number once when someone talked about light.


> human will instantly answer "I don't know" instead of yelling a random number.

Seems that you never worked with Accenture consultants?


Fair.

Yet this can be filtered with fixed rules, like "output produced by corporate structures is untrusted random data".


Why is that?


Because LLMs dont have a textual representation of any text they consume. Its just vectors to them. Which is why they are so good at ignoring typos, the vector distance is so small it makes no difference to them.
