Just send sms? Like video calls, custom emojis, reactions, groups, business accounts with online catalog and checkout process, channels, custom status, etc all that with sms? Come on now, get real.
Maybe telegram or signal if you're going to propose an alternative but sms is ridiculous.
>... I was sure it was only good at autocomplete. Something happened earlier this year where the models hit a new level of capability.
Yes, something happened, it got better at autocomplete. What else could be? The underlying model hasn't changed.

Please just stop with this bullshit. Nobody's curing cancer, climate change, inequality or whatever important real problem there is with LLMs. Nobody.
If this tech is good enough to make you more productive is just because you're not working in anything new or cutting edge or innovative. The only reason a LLM knows how to do your job is because that code has been literally written before enough times to appear in the training data. Try to use llms to write C++26, some HDL or in any niche stack and you'll get a nice reality check about LLMs.
I’m sure I would be just as useless as an LLM in the “niche stack” examples that you cited.
Why do you think that is actually a good argument against?
Most “business” problems have already been solved in some way and the times I had to write really novel code in my career have been very very few.
Also sure LLMs haven’t solved cancer or unequality in the few years they exist - but humans also failed here in the last couple thousand
This is the OC classification of this type? I've seen it before but applied to corporate workforce. Also, clever and lazy at the very top? I don't get it.
> clever and lazy at the very top? I don't get it.
Being clever and lazy forces you to determine what should not be done, as opposed to just doing everything because you can because you're clever and industrious.
As you climb higher and higher in decision-making, it becomes clear that the things you say no to at some point becomes more important than the things you say yes to.
The other odd thing is that as a person ascends the leadership ladder, the rank-and-file expect less and less of them. Really good intent-based leadership can be shockingly difficult to discern from someone who truly has no idea what they're doing.
>Me not wearing a seatbelt means I risk getting splattered. Not you, or anyone else.
Physics says otherwise. In a collision you don't decide where you body is yeeted and your skull could end inside the skull of a passenger using his seatbelt. Don't be a moron.

I think that educators go to the bank account example, because it is easy to explain + (I suspect) non-modifyable bank ledger with add-only transactions is the source of this pattern. In real world I've applied event sourcing to following domains: insurance policy, anniversary process (your policy ends, new one begins, emails are sent, payment subscriptions restart etc = both replayable / non-replayable operations), different payment flows, can answer questions (am not OP) :)
