      Holy crap that *is* the actual headline and subheader… 😆

      I like the cut of this article’s jib!

      In one year, Open AI will be bankrupt and gone.

      The bubble will burst and they will be the first to go

      ChatGPT can’t do timer, instead of saying I don’t have this feature, it just lies to you with fake time. Good Job Sam Altman.

      Anthropic is going to add a timer feature to Claude in an afternoon just for the love of the game

      Your phone already has this functionality built-in. Clock app -> Timers tab.

      Or alternatively you can ask Siri or Bixby or whatever voice assistant your phone has, to start a timer.

      Using AI for this is unnecessary and ridiculously inefficient

      I just think of all the AI bros who ramble on about how much it’s „improved“ their work and wonder how many of them asked ChatGPT to start a timer and just took it’s output at face value lol.

      I wish more people would become more aware that „AI“ is little more than a parlor trick and only has very niche applications in which it’s actually beneficial to use.

      The world is already dumb enough without droves of people delegating their entire mental load to a cheap LLM.

      Feed ChatGPT a series of values and ask it to make them comma separated but unchanged, it can’t do that either. Anthropic are talking about having withheld releasing Skynet, and yet LLMs can’t do the most basic of tasks.

      The whole thing is a trillion dollar Ponzi scheme between nvidia, the AI companies and the datacentre companies – with a healthy sprinkling of VCs wanking themselves to death over it all.

      Yeah and they fucked their TTS and audio playing on iOS so bad that me – a ‚vibe coder‘ – could do a better job which is fucking wild.

      That’s because ChatGPT is an LLM, not an agent. And in fact, it would be a terrible agent if it were allowed to act like one, because its only job is to take text input and provide vaguely intelligible text output.

      The best and singular use of ChatGPT is as a language interpretation layer between the user and the actual systems, interpreting normal human language for the computer, turning the computer’s output into something human-digestible. This ongoing effort to make LLMs do everything under the sun is ill-advised at best.

      It can write a script to start a timer. But the execution is left as an exercise to the reader.

      Run by a man who likely sexually abused his little sister for years.

      Even Siri can start a timer just fine.

      And Siri is hot fucking garbage.

      „AGI is coming! In mere months everything is going to change! Nothing will ever be the same!“

      „Awesome. Hey, I was wondering, when will you be able to add the ability for ChatGPT to start timers?“

      „Oof, ah, jeez. Ah, I think we’re gonna need at least another year for that. Yeah, sorry.“

      I mean, that’s not as weird as it sounds. Chat is call and response, timer is continuous.  Llm calls are highly distributed, timers have to be on the same thread. Sure, they could implement a timer, but it would probably require special infrastructure, and ChatGPT operates on a huge scale. 

      For a “who gives a fuck” feature. From “Hey siri timer 5 minutes” to a mechanical egg timer that problem is well solved. 

      That’s not to say that Sam Altman isn’t a dumb greasy Rod Blagojevich lookalike asshole, he is, but not for this reason. Seriously, dude should rock the Blago hair helmet. They’re cut from the same cloth.

      Cool story Sam.

      How long will it take him to settle his sisters lawsuit against him for sexual abuse?

      He’s a fucking billionaire now. He can settle that out of court so fucking fast.

      Those optics though…

      The problem with AI companies is they have a working product that has some compelling use cases but it’s massively immature technology

      The responsible thing to do is to scale it slowly and work on making models more compute efficient

      Their current plan is “make models smarter by using more context, more memory and more compute until we reach the limit of the global supply chain”. And it’s fucking stupid.  The plan is “light cash on fire and hope the world catches up”

      To be fair my Google home piece of shit plays music half the time I ask it to set a timer. That’s why it’s in the fucking trash now.

    33. Smith6612 on

      When it does, it’ll need about 8 nuclear power plants to process the request.

      Meanwhile Google Assistant and Siri could do this many years ago. They suck at most other things, but in terms of being a utility? They can set a clock.
