Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Windscale probably don’t qualify as “no reason “

There’s a lot of [citation needed] going on there

Yeah right. I’m sure this is no way related to all the open source image processing programs in the training data.

You're lucky. It's ascii goatse now

Probably not official opportunity to watch the documentary https://machines.cargo.site/

A couple of sample chapters are available here https://pages.hmc.edu/harris/ddca/rvsocd.html

Generally, people who want their pool cleaned do so when they are conscious and have their pool very close to their home address. People who need ambulances are usually in a very different condition. That makes it a different prospect trying to chase payment.

> Can you define these in ways that aren't tautologically limited to humans?

No, because that’s the point. It’s not intelligent because intelligence is a human characteristic.

> Both because local models exist, can be run offline

It’s not that they search interactively, it’s that the whole internet has been sucked into the training set.

And yet "slapping the keyboard faster" is all that AI does. It doesn't design architecture. It doesn't think. It doesn't reason. All it does is search for and copy-paste code from elsewhere on the internet. If you're lucky it might even be code that works and does what you want it to.

Never claimed it did

It can churn out boilerplate but we already had templates to do that.

It can translate one language into another but we already had transpilers for that.

It can find bugs quickly but we already had static analysis. It also generates many plausible looking false positives.

Who is the “you” in this scenario?

Faster != more productive.

The 10x Centaur doesn't exist. They're just ten times as fast at creating tech debt.

You want me to run a closed source, LLM agent inside my browser with access to authenticated API endpoints ?! Thanks but no thanks.

One thing that's often overlooked is the cost of administering a billing system. If you're going to distinguish between the insured and uninsured you need a system that keeps track of who has insurance. You need paperwork (or digital equivalent). You need accounts payable staff to send invoices and chase up unpaid bills. It can, counter-intuitively, work out cheaper just not to charge anyone.

And they make me feel more like Marvin

You think two independent scans of the internet captured the same image with the same timestamp entirely by coincidence?

Edit: they're literally the same image

This seems to just be a map interface to Shodan Images. I've found the exact same camera with the exact same snapshot on both sites.

Doesn't run for me. Just I/O errors and quits.

Ed Zitron discusses this as part of his post on AI economics : https://www.wheresyoured.at/ais-economics-dont-make-sense/

And ignore capital costs, depreciation, user churn etc

Not unless you invite the public in on a regular basis. Websites are available to the public - especially if you're trying to promote them on HN

You forget the "Show HN: Here's some crap I cobbled together with an LLM" x a million a day

AIUI one of the many quirks of the US health insurance system is that a lot of people have only minimal cover which doesn't include things like physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatment. That means that they often can't treat a painful condition at source so their only option is to mask the pain with painkillers.
