  • We really need to break our conditioning that employment is the highest priority in our lives. That employers can dictate whether we take live saving action depending on how many pennies it’ll cost them.

    And this isn’t to victim blame. What happened to these people is a travesty and the company holds the blame for it, 100%. It’s more to point out that we’re the only ones that can take action on this. Nobody (certainly not corps) is going to break this mindset or norm on our behalf. Look out for yourself and your peers. You’re more important then your employer’s bottom line.

    That’s kind of like saying a wheel wasn’t designed to move things around, that it’s just a thick circle. My point above wasn’t that things can never change - iteration can lead to amazing things. But we can’t put an empty chassis on some wheels and call it a car, either.

    On the other hand, AI is definitely good at creative writing.

    Well…yeah. That’s what it was designed to do. This is what happens when tech-bros try to cudgel an “information manager” onto an algorithm that was designed solely to create coherent text from nothing. It’s not “hallucinating” - it’s following its core directive.

    Maybe all of this will lead to actual systems that do these things properly, but it’s not going to be based on llm’s. That much seems clear.
