Even if Opus 4.5 is the limit it’s still a massively useful tool. I don’t believe it’s the limit though for the simple fact that a lot could be done by creating more specialized models for each subdomain i.e. they’ve focused mostly on web based development but could do the same for any other paradigm.

Personally I'm not against LLMs or AI itself, but considering how these models are built and trained, I personally refuse to use tools built on others' work without or against their consent (esp. GPL/LGPL/AGPL, Non Commercial / No Derivatives CC licenses and Source Available licenses).

Of course the tech will be useful and ethical if these problems are solved or decided to be solved the right way.

We just need to tax the hell out of the AI companies (assuming they are ever profitable) since all their gains are built on plundering the collective wisdom of humanity.

AI companies and corporations in general control your politicians so taxing isn't going to happen.

I don’t think waiting for profitability makes sense. They can be massively disruptive without much profit as long as they spend enough money.

That's a massive shift in the claim though... I don't think anyone is disputing that it's a useful tool; just the implication that because it's a useful tool and has seen rapid improvement that implies they're going to "get all the way there," so to speak.
