I wrote down just a couple of the examples, like Microsoft is putting a limitation on engineers' use of external AI.
They have an internal AI.
Uber's COO said it's getting harder to justify its AI costs because there's no way to show a link between that spend and increase in features.
Amazon had a leaderboard contest designed to incentivize employees' use of AI, but they canceled it because employees used AI to cheat the contest.
That's what I thought.
I thought it was most interesting just because of what the company is.
NVIDIA said that it was a VP.
So they were looking at it and they think maybe the cost of AI for this one, this VP's team was more than what humans would have been.
Yeah, go for it.
It's not so much- Is this why Polar Abyss for me?
Did you watch Polar Abyss?
I didn't, no.
Okay, you should.
And Gilligan says that it wasn't AI that inspired, which I find almost impossible to believe, but whatever.
But the world gets a hive mind, basically.
And then I forget what it is, like six or eight people that it didn't work on them.
And so they exist with their normal brains and everyone else has a hive mind.
And it's like everyone gets really smart, like really fast, like as you know all of the world's knowledge.
But then the hive mind starts getting very dumb.
