    Singularity point has been reached. Once code begins writing code we are there.

    This PC guy is kind of a dumbshit.

    Code has been "writing code" since the early 80's. AIX, VAX/VMS, AT&T
    Unix, all "wrote code" based on operational state and runtime requirements
    on a regular basis every day.

    sword and a real actual wizard staff that does magic, but they're in

    politely, massively overstated PR hoopla:

    ...which will doubtless come as a *total* surprise to everyone who's
    spent the last three years parroting everything Dario Amodei says un- questioned, immediately forgetting about any given claim when the next
    one farts out of his mouth, and never bothering to go back and check
    whether any of his apocalyptic Real Soon Now predictions turned out to
    be ludicrous bullshit (spoiler: the answer is "very much yes.")

    Meanwhile, the money's already drying up, datacenters are behind
    schedule or not even started, the big players have already started on
    the "service gets worse" stage of enshittification, OpenAI just killed
    its most cost-intensive service mere months after announcing a billion-
    dollar deal with Disney for it, and its CFO was making uncomfortable
    noises about their prospects for an IPO (which would involve opening
    the books for public inspection) before getting the vaudeville hook.

    All very healthy and normal!

    Some started when bank computers began "talking" to you over the phone using "DECtalk".

    Based on your answers a batch script with logging was written and would
    queue to complete the transactions desired.

    Not even that.

    I am not happy about the status quo. Having experimented with Markov
    chains on texts already in the early 80s, I think AI better should be
    based on rules and facts instead of just M-C predictions. But turning
    our knowledge into facts and rules is much more hard work than building
    huge data centres that make their neighbours life miserable, drive the
    utility costs sky-high while scraping all data they can get their
    digital hands on ignoring copyrights ... YKWIM ...

    Follow the greed!

    This AI sh-it is not about making OUR lives better.

    After neural networks over promised and failed to deliver in the '80s
    expert systems were the next big thing. They have had some success but not
    as much as was claimed for them.

    AI has been through four or five winters depending on how you count.
    Winter is coming again I fear. The previous summers didn't have nowhere
    near the impact on the markets as this one.
