I generally like Anthropic: but the more they paint a dystopian future where AI “manages” people (“AI middle-managers”) the more I am starting to think they are losing their marbles.
LLMs is a tool humans should use. The tail should not wag the dog; Anthropic should know better
An example is that LLMs can play pretty decent chess (a very complex problem) after being trained on millions of high-Elo games. Complexity is not an obstacle.
Another example is that LLMs cannot reliably add two digits (a very simple problem) outside of the range they're familiar with. Simplicity doesn't matter if unfamiliarity is present.
no one is brave enough to say it, but
if your goal is to reduce travel time, you want to speed as much as possible in low speed limit areas (schools, playgrounds, etc).
