Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.
“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”
Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”
“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.
Computers are input-output devices. You put things into a computer and it does what you tell it to do.
LMM’s do not do this they just give you a facsimile of what it believes you want.
LMM’s will not go away but their functionality is extremely limited, as has been proven by it’s failure to ‘change business forever.’
And no, ‘but the tech isn’t there’ isn’t an argument right now. This is economics. The investment for it’s current capabilities are far outsized, and there will be a massive contraction.
We are so far beyond “computer is just input output device” realistically. There’s thousands of layers of things built on top that produce what we know as a computer and anywhere along that chain things can be broken/not perform as expected because any other layer on the chain failed to do what it was supposed to.
Realistically, what’s the difference between a thing and the facsimile of a thing when the result is the same?
