@GossiTheDog easy enough to do but just a pointless waste of resources.

It's bad enough the resource usage when using these things for a semi useful output but if you're making it run in circles to make it look like you're using it then that's even worse

@GossiTheDog I will stop "working manually" when the tools stop failing at basic tasks

[greem@cyberplace.social]

@GossiTheDog sooooo he wants his super "engineers" (are they qualified as such?) to spend half their salary using the products they're there to produce?

Am I misreading that?

[lightfighter@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog So we have transitioned from, Move fast and break things, to, Do stupid things faster and spend more?

[erraggy@hachyderm.io]

He's cooked

@GossiTheDog I dream of a time when "person who makes more money when you consume more of a thing wants you to consume more of that thing" is not considered insightful thought leadership.

@GossiTheDog I am sure a 500.000$ engineer finds a way to spend 250.000$ in tokens and do the work manually.

@GossiTheDog

Of course he and his company didn’t get extra profit if AI token are used prudently. It is totally to his advantage for users to be wasteful and overspend.

@GossiTheDog shovel maker says your workers aren't productive unless they're going through 3 shovels per week.

[zaphodb@twitter.resolvt.net]

@GossiTheDog What if i were able to spend a billion in tokens i wonder.

[drcuriosity@cloudisland.nz]

@GossiTheDog If I wanted to "program" by babysitting a bunch of approximately-competent workers who can almost follow instructions if I give them very specific tasks but not too much all at once, I'd... well. Probably be running a Silicon Valley AI startup, I guess.

[tehstu@hachyderm.io]

@GossiTheDog I'd say you couldn't make this shit up, but he clearly does.

[scm@sfba.social]

@greem @GossiTheDog Nvidia is paying for the tokens … they’re just using it as a dumb proxy for productivity, like counting how many staples the HR team uses and firing them for not using enough

[pikhq@social.treehouse.systems]

@GossiTheDog truly someone has forgotten that what you get is what you measure -- i'd be willing to bet it is easy as fuck to maximize your token use if you don't give a shit about anything else

@Taco_lad @GossiTheDog oh he's thinking, about ways to sell more GPUs without just telling people "buy a GPU from me"

[aedius@lavraievie.social]

@GossiTheDog

just launch a prompt

"please check issue in my dependencies"

every few day and it's done XD
