"The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10 percent," he added. "Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate. When that happens, we'll be fine as an industry."

Needless to say, we haven't seen anything like that yet. OpenAI's top AI agent — the tech that people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman say is poised to upend the economy — still moves at a snail's pace and requires constant supervision.

R&D is always a money sink

It isn't R&D anymore if you're actively marketing it.

Uh... Used to be, and should be. But the entire industry has embraced treating production as test now. We sell alpha release games as mainstream releases. Microsoft fired QC long ago. They push out world breaking updates every other month.

And people have forked over their money with smiles.

Microsoft fired QC long ago.

I can't wait until my cousin learns about this, he'll be so surprised.

I'd tell him but he's at work. At Microsoft, in quality control.

Make sure to also tell him he's doing a shit job!

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

He's probably been fired long ago, but due to non-existant QC, he was never notified.
