Dear Tobi Lütke - AI can do your job too. Care to comment?

What these CEOs don't understand is that even an error rate as low as 99% for LLMs is unacceptable at scale. Fully automating without humans somewhere in the loop will lead to major legal liabilities down the line, esp if mistakes can't be fixed fast.

Former shopify employee here. Tobi is scum, and surrounds himself with scum. He looks up to Elon and genuinely admires him.

Dev: “Boss, we need additional storage on the database cluster to handle the latest clients we signed up.”
Boss: “First see if AI can do it.”

What error rate do you think humans have? Because it sure as hell ain't as low as 1%.
But yeah, it is like the other person said: This gets rid of most employees but still leaves managers. And a manager dealing with an idiot who went off script versus an AI who hallucinated something is the same problem. If it is small? Just leave it. If it is big? Cancel the order.

Currently the answer would be "Have you tried compressing the data?" and "Do we really need all that data per client?". Both of which boil down to "ask the engineers to fix it for you and then come back to me if you are a failure"

Asking to prove a negative? More like stupidfy CEO.

Yup. If 1% of all requests result in failures and even cause damages, you‘ll quickly lose 99% of your customers.

A human has the ability to think outside the box when an unexpected error occurs, and seek resolution. AI could very well just tell you to kill yourself.

A lot was invested on the promise of AI, only to discover that it's not capable of becoming this "super intelligence" people were banking on.

Yes. No over worked human would ever lose their crap and tell someone to go kill themselves.

Shame, because I used to actually admire how he handled layoffs. Was a far sight better (from outside looking in) than the "thanks, here's one extra paycheck, send your laptop back at your expense please" I'd experienced

I mean it is also generous to the Artificial Idiot to say it only has a 1% error rate, it’s probably closer to 10% on the low end. Which humans can be far better than in terms of just directly following the assigned task but does not factor in how people can adapt and problem solve. Most minor issues real people have can be solved without much of a fuss because of that. Meanwhile the Artificial Idiot can’t even draw a full wine glass so good luck getting it to fix its own mistake on something important.
