The homogenization of culture was the fault of traditional centralized media. If you go back before the printing press, there was actually a much greater diversity of cultures and languages. Decentralized (social) media is bringing us back to how traditionally tribal humanity used to be.
I may be incorrectly inferring that you think this is a good thing, but "traditionally tribal humanity" were constantly at war with one another. I'm not sure that's something we want to go back to.
Yes, it was (and some places, sadly continues to be) the ultimate horror that people can visit upon each-other.
Suffering it, over and over and over, was what led humanity down the natural, logical path to becoming civilised and cooperative.
It's the lesson we need to learn well, if our self-appointed badge of Very Intelligent Species is to actually mean anything more than a pointless, neverending game of forming factions and battling other factions.
Maybe they're actually using the model to review and clean up the code too? I hope you realize that "just merge whatever the LLM spits out on its first attempt" is not the only way to use LLMs.
Those "price per task" benchmarks seem to pre-suppose the existence well-defined requirements and acceptance criteria.
When that isn't available, and the task involves "understanding the problem", "deciding what I'm actually after" etc. iterations, I find price-per-token to still be a better predictor of cost.
Nothing except the $278k average base salary, while living luxuriously at work and probably home too on the startup's expense card, as the $100k door dash bill shows. I bet there were a ton of fancy off sites in Hawaii or wherever.
Meanwhile at $bigco I just got my request to buy a shitty $1k Dell laptop denied because I got one 2 years ago and I have to wait 1 more.
I remember the laptop renewal also was 3 years. Which would have been fine if they didn't have that policy to issue Dell Latitude, end of the barrel hardware Dell itself couldn't sell.
One day I figured nobody forces me to work for such company.
Elon is the richest person on earth and he doesn't seem particularly happy. Trump is the most powerful and hate-tweets himself to sleep every night. Zuckerberg seems to be his happiest doing sport and spending time with his family.
> Apart from a few idiots nobody claims it is Turkish dialect.
Back in the 90's, it was not that hard to find Turkish people saying exactly this.
This was before most had the Internet, so they could say stuff and get away with it. The idea was to belittle the Kurds, and deny them their identity. Obviously, not serious scholarship.
Instead of parsing "mountain Turkish" as "mountain+turkish", parse it as " mountain turk+ish". The use of the term "Mountain Turk" arose in the Atatürk era as a quick way to nip any discussions of those ethnic minorities in the bud. That is all the term serves for. It doesn't mean that Turks believe Kurds actually speak a language genetically related to their own.
>AI already has better judgement than many senior people in some tech domains, on top of better skills
It has better judgement in math and coding, which have infinitely generatable training data; if you ask it a domain-specific question about something like sales or marketing, its answer is often horrendous.
