Lmao economy and labor market fully leveraged on superintelligence can’t even use it because it’s too expensive
Please limit your spending until we can figure out how to replace you with this.
We ran into this at a job I had where people had unlimited Claude spend so they were using it to do ridiculous things. One of the top things people were using it for was “convert this file to this other file.” Which is super expensive for an AI to do and literally free to do online or in like any office suite you’re already paying for. They took it away within a month or so for all but the most expensive people (developers and upper management mostly).
It’s rapidly going to become a tool that is assigned only where it’s actually extremely useful and nowhere else. Like most expensive tools.

Fantastic form of malicious compliance if it was intentional
Alright, great, can you convert it back now?
I would instruct the LLM to type out files character by character.
“Okay, Claude, great job with that ‘p’! Now can you please input ‘r’?”
here’s how the tokenmaxxers do it:
“ok claude, spin up 10 parallel frontier models to each convert this docx to a pdf file. they must then work together to converge on the highest quality output that they can synthesize from their individual outputs. when they are done, spin up 3 frontier models that serve as an adversarial review board to review their final pdf. for any revisions, repeat from the beginning with the 10 models in parallel performing the changes. do not stop until the review board unanimously favors the result”
most expensive pdf in the world.
Looking back at the vibes from ~9 months ago it wasn’t just that people had huge or unlimited token budgets, they were also evaluated on their ability to burn as many tokens as possible. Turns out that’s kinda dumb.
Accenture so royally fucked up my last job’s IT infrastructure that it convinced them to go in-house for all their IT stuff lmao
Well that’s enough to answer about 3 - 4 questions for the week
ah yes, the company that keeps ending up on the wrong end of every single tech hype train
“We encouraged our employees to use this new fangled AI as much as possible. Now they’re all using it as much as possible and it is costing the company money! Who could’ve seen this coming?!”
Had a meeting with the head of our department (one of the top dogs in the finance biz) and they said “we still believe AI, if used correctly, is the future” and having to said this convinced me that it’s close to going down the shitter.
“we still believe AI, if used correctly, is the future”
Did they say that with tears rolling down their cheeks lmao?
superintelligence has not come into existence. if i can comprehend an ai it is not an asi, don’t let trump erode your vocabulary
The use of
superintelligenceis ironic. What 6-sided beanis would unironically use some random “Lake America, super intelligence, yeah fuck you call it that”? S’all goodEdit: maybe we should call it
stuperintelligencelol. Or maybe, I’m high on the devil’s lettuce
They put this on the stock market lol
