Following a U.S. Supreme Court decision today that overturns Roe v. Wade, we're reminding people that abortion remains legal in Oregon.

People don’t read, and if they read, they stop at “AI” and don’t think. Headlines like this don’t help either, cause it’s clearly stated that every single placeholder AI asset used to speed up the process was replaced by human work, meaning the final product has no AI. Non-issue.
As a programmer, I don't think this is far off from what's actually happening.
For reasons that now feel overdetermined (codebases = 100% of context, verifiability, etc.) software development was/is uniquely shaped to get eaten up by LLMs.
But almost no other fields/industries are shaped in this way, except for a few select niches like translation, low complexity customer support tickets, etc.
Sure, everyone uses LLMs for the specific things LLMs are actually quite good at (e.g. summarizing documents, translating things, searching the web for you, proof reading important emails before sending, etc.) but the only full-blown industry where LLMs truly thrive *at the core value proposition* of said industry is... software.
Because us software engineers and other tech people are insufferable and think we're the center of the universe, we just assume automatically that it's only a matter of time before LLMs make the leap into other areas of the economy, and disrupt them like they've disrupted coding.
"Surely if LLMs can put a dent in *my* job, it's only a matter of time before they do the same to others!"
Idk... I'm just not seeing this yet.
We're in weird times. AI labs continue to compete on frontier LLMs, creating larger models and more expensive models that one-up each other on key industry benchmarks.
Meanwhile, the developer community is finding out that they don't need the absolute best LLM for every task. As AI subsidies come to an end, a lot of people are finding out that a cheaper and smaller model can accomplish most of their everyday tasks without torching their wallets.
Spending habits will be adjusted. Meanwhile, the AI labs need to hype their LLMs to grab attention and funding for their next generation of AI models. I think there will be a gradual slowdown and a return to sanity where you're not under the constant fear of AI disrupting everything every six months.
imagine if {different game} did {thing that different game doesn't do} is an insane comparison to make. do you get upset when Diablo does things PoE wouldn't do also?
imagine if tarkov was like sorry for day 1 of wipe issues here everyone can have 7 free kits full of altyns and level 5 armors also labs is now free and pve only for a limited time
🤓”did you know it’s only for a week for the new players”
ok! hope we enjoy burning out half the regular playerbase in 3 weeks bc they’re getting cryo-level loot in literally private lobbies!
like all sense of progression has been destroyed lol
i hate AI as much as the next guy but people on this app keep reading “AI assisted tools” wrong. they don’t mean the entire game or even the artistic vision of the game is AI generated
Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.
He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”

Crystal Dynamics has responded to its use of AI in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, telling Eurogamer "we leverage AI tools to help our teams iterate on ideas faster and more efficiently, while ensuring that all finished content in the final product is human-crafted" https://t.co/UOhoz6p0ad
Companies keep on blaming AI for their mass layoffs.
Do any of you actually know a single person who was replaced with AI?
I don't and neither do you. It's nonsense - AI is not there yet, and citing it is just an excuse for corporates to behave badly.
“Penetration pricing” is the term used when a company burns through Venture Capital money selling a product under its cost to build market share.
Remember how cheap Uber and Lyft used to be? VCs subsidized the drivers and the riders for years. Then they went public and now it costs me $20 for a 3 minute ride down the road.
DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart.
MoviePass, Netflix, Hulu.
All of these companies sold below cost to get market share then massively raised their prices, added ads, diminished their products, etc.
AI today is no different. OpenAI and Anthropic are giving us all cheap rides. To do that, they’re selling $1.00 for 10 cents.
Get it while you can before a different kind of penetration begins.
Sam Altman said AI budgeting has recently become a "huge issue" for some companies, something that "never came up" earlier this year. https://t.co/P2zODBNmDp
