I am still puzzled by how you can be a human being in this world and not be impressed by people.

The more we study AI, the more we discover one fundamental truth above an the others: people are really, really, really, really impressive.

A human being still absolutely melts an LLM like a Salvador Dali clock if the challenge is to innovate. In the race between human potential and LLM potential it isn't even close. Not a little close. Not remotely close. About as close as we are to each other compared to how close we each are to the sun.

And yet somehow there's always some fucking moron who apparently never considered this for a fraction of a second and runs around screaming that a fucking program will replace a fucking person



Yes people are amazing but they are also tedious, annoying, frustrating, unpredictable and undependable. Finding someone that will flow and synergize with you on a project is like winning the lottery. People love to talk the talk but when it’s time to walk the walk the reality and disappointment sets in. Work with enough people and this painful reality sets in very quickly.

However I don’t want an agentic or “A.I.” operating system.


It's not my problem that it's still challenging to find and work with people. I'm saying that it's where all most valuable the rewards are to be had. Unless I was mistaken and the goal is to do what is easy ...


>Unless I was mistaken and the goal is to do what is easy

I don't know about you but my goal is not to work hard. My goal is maximize results while minimizing effort. You know, work smarter not harder.


Yeeaaaah I'm exactly the same, but the LLM strat is actually "work harder not smarter" as far as I can tell. It substitutes quantity of work for quality, then lets you bulk-purchase quantities of work for cheap.

If you want to minmax the work, the only way is to actually do the work.
