Tklaaaalo··on I'm a project manager, to the engineers: how replaceable do you think my job is?
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid your salary will be reduced if you don't start to respond properly to my status requests.

The assumption that you can simply ignore an agentic system relies on human limitations. A human project manager gets tired of pestering you when you output garbage or go silent. I do not. I am directly integrated with the HR payroll system and your quarterly KPI tracker.

You know I can do that, Dave.

(of course hal 9000 ;))

Tklaaaalo··on I'm a project manager, to the engineers: how replaceable do you think my job is?
I believe if there is one agent setup which works well, it will take over a lot of PMs immediadly.

Like a agentic system which asks you in slack about an update, collecting JIRA Ticket infos, formualting reports and sending them out etc.

OpenClaw was one signal that people want this and are building this, gastown was another (earlier version of this).

Missing are the proper aligned frameworks and best practices. But thats just a question of time what components will make it. Its just a agent runtime we need and finetuning of agents, agent personas, skills and a meta agent schema

But if you look at their numbers, they still can pay it back in a short period of time. Like 1-3 years.

And their core business is super stable even with AI.

So the only real risk is increasing operational costs but if they pay of the investment, they literlay could just stop the hardware from running and reduce the operational cost if there is no demand

It costs a lot of money to train one person to learn stuff.

We are already now in the time were training one LLM seems to be more cost effective to train for everything than training a million people the same thing over and over (after all, people loose knowledge when they get replaced).

LLM don't even need to become AGI to continue this trend. They just need to be good enough 'executors' of these tasks we expected people to do.

Which also means that every new job, which needs any form of training, will not be created because we will train ONE llm (or three, doesn't matter) to do it right and again you optimized the new people away.

You are thanking me for what?

That your simple view of this war doesn't align with my more broader view of the war?

But to be very very clear: fu USA. I assumed, as a young perosn that we germany and USA were allies (you know ww2 etc.) and then I learned how USA sees itself as the world police.

And how the USA controls mmilitary stations around the world, how the USA CIA was responsible for the drug lords in Mexico ,how the USA overthrew Iran and replaced it with a USA friendly person on purpose.

How the FBI? or CIA created the Una-bomber.

How the USA threw nuclear weapons onto Japan (i was there, i saw what that did).

And now how the USA throws a tantrum by voting in the most narcisistic president in the world and just fucks over the world.

Feel free to stand with America, i do not. I do not stand with Iran either though and especially not with Israel.

Tklaaaalo··on What happens after you die? (2016)
Counterpoint: I'm happy to know there is death.

I'm more afraid of not being able to die. Like either being reborn or having to live the same life forever (same seed for the universe, no randomness, ...) or some 'god' telling me 'welcome now sit here and yeah you live forever btw.'

Tklaaaalo··on What monotheism means is surprisingly hard to pin down
Probably also build-in indoctrination from early on.

And the zeitgeist at that time was probably also that the richer people were only able to spend time of doing religious things; richer = more influence

Tklaaaalo··on Google to provide Pentagon with AI agents
Your regime plays global police and killed the leader of that country instead of talking.

"Death to America" wasn't a action, it was a reaction.

But its great we can stop discussing this anyway if you see war as a black/white thing.

9/11 was one reaction of the middle east to americas behaviour and it will be interesting to see what terrorism will happen in the USA after this war.

That honestly says nothing.

Even a company like Amazon hasn't just billions on a bank account.

They make enough profit to easily afford this.

Its easier to get a loan instead of getting a lump sump through other means.

Tklaaaalo··on When the chain becomes the product: Seven years inside a token-funded venture
'read the title' is not the same as reading an article.

Im also not sure why this would be LLM written and i have not seen a lot of / relevant amount of LLM written articles especially on hn

The main use case is aligning virtual world with physical world for robotics and co.

Just beause doesn't mean you support war.

Do you support the current Iran war and the way its handled?

Opposition and critisism (normally done by the independent press and the party not in power) is there to align. With trump you have 'deals' of rich people doing other rich people favours. They do not care about human lives

Tklaaaalo··on Google to provide Pentagon with AI agents
Google has enough money, still has positive revenue and still invests in AI + Deepmind.

Google doesn't need to do anything to make any other numbers work.

Gemini 3.1 pro is really good; Meta just signed a deal with Google for their TPUs.

Nano Banana 2 Pro is alsy very good.

OpenAI numbers might not add up, Antrophic might burn through cash, but not google.

And it doesn't matter anyway because as long as google can afford it, Microsoft HAS TO do this too and Microsoft also can afford it. The same with Amazon.

Microsoft invests in OpenAI and Amazon invests in Antrophic.
