> Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it’s only as good as the information you use to train it

I would rephrase it as it’s only as good as you know what you are doing. Even if the trained input is good, keeping it to scope and making sure it delivers without workarounds requires a human brain who have the past experience.

If AI thinks so much faster than humans. does it age fater than humans? and in that case, does AI have dementia already?

The impression I'm getting over this huge number of AI roll backs is that AI is useful in some circumstances, but it's just not a cure-all. It is expensive, and increasingly so, straining the ROI scenario. My expectation is that the use-case for successful AI implementations is ultimately going to be narrow.

So "AGI" was not found internally at Ford and they didn't know they needed actual engineers to keep the lights on?

It's OK to just say that the plan was to rehire back the engineers for far less compensation.

All the people happy about this are just holding back the progress of our species smh.

won’t someone think of the lightcone!

Management at these USA companies could give zero fucks about you.

It’s a disease that has spread throughout all of capitalism.

But that’s USA 250 years.

Quite frankly I’m enjoying the schadenfreude on this one.
