Rhetorical goals about intention do not remake physics which comes with well understood constraints. Doctors intended to use bloodletting to cure illness and killed people instead. Words are not magical spells.

The machines these models run on are well known. They’re not black boxes. The results will be same-y despite the timeline, process, companies took to get there being different.

UPS trucks may carry different sizes and shapes of packages day to day but their upper bounds on total weight and geometry exist too.

A Honda and Ford can look different, but physical reality, whether the measure is user feedback (human biology exists is physical) or physics itself, still results in very same-y 4 wheels, etc etc.

What's strange to me is all the software engineers who ignore physics. All of our applied knowledge that gives rise to software engineering also constrains the outcomes. Our ability to sit down every day and arbitrarily slice up data in various ways is very much constrained by physics like everything else.

The easy money/endless hype era of ZIRP where SWEs failed up thanks to endless employment opportunities has resulted in way too many SWEs believing their efforts on some trivial shit like a JS framework, or some CSS designs is propelling humans into the future.

Nah, it's just physics as usual. You alls sensory memory is just parroting the crap it memorized.
