Better start saving my pennies. I just priced out two Mac Studios, taking a guess at the RAM cost as that model isn't actually available yet. Down under we are talking close to AU $100k. I guess people who really need that amount of home AI will spend that kind of money. That buys a lot of Open AI, Claude, or Grok credits though.
Companies not moving faster will be outcompeted.

More female systems run automated systems. This is a long-standing association, from airport announcements to "Bitching Betty" in a fighter plane.
This is an extension of same, for better or worse.
wow I mean I get the whole 'screw reading the article' approach, but to not even read the article's title where they specifically say they used ChatGPT to drive a Corolla. That's a whole new level of avoidance.
Astra is amazing.
My team supports 4x the infrastucture with 50% of the people with agents following human workflows.
They could literally clear all of the remaining Millennium problems and people would still be coping. This will happen.
Self reinforcement learning works, and it hasn't been about LLMs in a long time.
Hang on. Learn to hang drywall.

The cope has been nauseating.
It works. Everyone onboard now?
Now it's about how it scales and how we optimize use and lower release cycle time.
Everyone agonizing over token costs doesn't understand the exponential cost decay.. and how are you going to compete with hyperscalers who have essentially unlimited, near-free tokens.
Buckle up.
Spicy autocomplete indeed.
Chuckle.
AI is real. The implications of this are not priced in.
We have codex 5.4 performing all IC2-3 tasks now with a higher success rate.
Laughing is about to stop.
Have a plan.
Go read some history, you'll find these same articles.
I just completely automated most of our IC2 and IC3 network engineering processes with GPT agents.
Not redid; the AI executes the same workflows and tools better, cheaper, and faster. Compressing months of work to two weeks.
It's real.
Seriously, it's funny.
The music is good too.
Apparently a lot of other people do too.
Political leaning and desire for children is heritable.
The left will elect themselves out of the population pool in time. It will accelerate as more people choose more traditional values and family structures.
The state needs immigration to counter this effect, but they didn't move fast enough in America.
This is the end, my friend.
I was close to retirement anyway. There isn't going to be another generation of people with the skills I have outside of hobbyists. They're just not needed anymore.
My first year tuition was $1500 CAD in 1994.
By the time I had graduated it was up to $4000 or so. I think it's $8-9k now. Decent school, not elite, but engineering is still altruistic and it doesn't matter that much if you're skilled.
Bought me labor mobility to USA and would be worth doing at 10x the cost.
There are few circumstances where a liberal studies degree is going to give you a return of any kind.. and the library is free.
