I heard Claudia Winkleman might have a bit more free time now after Christmas....

(I just know somebody somewhere, probably on GB News, is going to seriously suggest this though....)

Utterly farcical and not necessary.

This reaction make me feel like he maybe wanted to get out and this was a convenient open window.

Also his dummy believes that 'vibe coding' is a thing.

Show me 1 example of a business that uses solely vibe coding that has a product that is secure, makes money and actually works.

Wow, you met people who have bought into Altman's hype. Congrats!

"When I speak to chief executives, it is striking how confident they are that they can grow their businesses without hiring more people, because of what AI makes possible. For them, “flat is the new up” when it comes to headcount.

"The number of job ads requiring AI literacy is already up 70 per cent year on year, according to LinkedIn, which is owned by Microsoft where I am a senior adviser."

And you dont think Microsoft has a vested interest to hype the notion of AI given the money they've flung at it?

AI agents are not a thing and wont be. LLMs simply cannot do a chain of commands with any degree of consistent competence.

They can barely do a single step task right, let alone 3 or 4 steps.

Successful complete rates not requiring intervention on single tasks are like barely 60% at the moment
