    The thing is while LLMs do make mistakes when you have something you can drive conformance with they are actually pretty good (eventually)

    For electrical or plumbing we can simulate those pretty well and a LLM can iterate until it gets a reasonable output since it can check its work against a simulator.

    You could likely live in a house for a bit before you stumbled into something stupid. You could live your entire life and not notice if you never tore out the walls.

    However if you went to change a light switch you might discover it used 3 different kinds of screws and the screw terminals are mislabeled.


















  • This is actually a very good example of middle managers in a large organization getting marching orders and seeing which way the wind is blowing.

    IBM had a similar thing in the early 2010s when they decided they were all in on “cloud” (about 10 years too late). Every manager saw where things were headed and pivoted whatever their product was to “Cloud” regardless of the suitability.

    The higher ups like this too because it lets them put everything under the “cloud” or AI heading on earnings and revenue and makes them look like they are nimble and working on the new hotness, even if it’s just someone moving their calculator to a web app or whatever.
