Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Saw this in an anthropic presentation:
Ah yes let’s use AI to get rid of the drudgery and toil so humanity can do the most enjoyable activity of writing OKRs
By 2029, the AI will even be capable of completing our TPS reports.
I think you’re misreading the intent behind “give your virtual coworker OKRs”: this allows you to punish the robot, which it deserves.
Ah yes Basilisk’s Roko, the thought experiment where we simulate infinite AIs so that we can hurl insults at them
Surely they have proof for the already increased capabilities of coding. Because increased capabilities is quite something to claim. It isn't just productivity, but capabilities. Can they put a line on the graph where capabilities reach the 'can solve the knapsack problem correctly and fast' bit?
Chat wtf is this curve?
Proof that we live in the bad place.
So they're saying their present product can't do much of anything
I get the idea they're going for: that coding ability is a leading indicator for progress towards AGI. But even if you ignore how nonsensical the overall graph is the argument itself is still begging the question of how much actual progress and capability it has to write code rather than spitting out code-shaped blocks of text that can successfully compile.
That picture does indeed has words, numbers, and lines on it.
