OpenAI Plots Charging $20,000 a Month For PhD-Level Agents: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-plots-charging-20-000-a-month-for-phd-level-agents
Here, I thought the whole point of LLM was to reduce salaries. 20k per month per postdoc comes to $240k pa. Postdoc salary is around $70k in the Bay Area and much less in the other parts of the world. This is more expensive than hiring an actual human. Many find spending $200 hard to pay for a pro account. The whole thing is a big scam based on stolen data to train AI and creating more environmental issues.

A Perl programmer is asked to write a script to find all the prime numbers. They finish in 5 minutes. "How did you do it so fast?" asks their coworker. "I just used the is_prime function," they reply. "But Perl doesn't have an is_prime function!" yells back the coworker. The Perl programmer laughs. "I know. I wrote it in three lines."
Nobody likes them. 💯
"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far the universe is winning." -- Rick Cook

What’s a compsci (computer science) concept that still amazes you?
So let me get this straight: First, it was Elon. Now, it is Mark. Two guys are removing all moderation rules on social media. And are people asking another billionaire to build alternative social media? Do you even hear yourself? That is not going to fix anything. Maybe we should go back to the days of blogs, mailing lists, individual forums, and RSS feeds and end this madness of centralized social media apart from the federation. I’m just saying
