There, I fixed it for you. Now you can freely read and engage with the content of the article.
> Autonomous AI Agents are failing in enterprise environments because standard Vector Databases (Pinecone, Milvus) act as static filing cabinets. They rely on discrete Euclidean metrics like Cosine Similarity, which blindly retrieve contradictory information (hallucinations)
Hallucinations are a result of the next token selection process, not simply caused by bad RAG. In effect, all LLM generated content is a hallucination, sometimes the hallucinations are useful.
Eliminating “bad” data from your RAG database is not going to fix hallucinations.
Dreams are one thing. People here are tired of fantasies and wishful thinking. Looking at the problem here - Adobe treating customers like crap and exploiting them - most of us realize that the solution is simply regulation. Leveraging the power of society and government to force the company to behave properly.
Gesturing at LLMs and going “this and the free market will fix it” is laughably naive, especially in 2026. That is why people are reacting harshly. This is a problem that was created by the free market, it’s not magically going to be fixed by some new product.
FWIW GP, I'm not bitter. I just know what won't fix this and cosigning this comment, it's more free sodding markets and more new products.
You want companies to act user-first? Cool. Make it fuckin illegal for em to NOT do that, and watch it happen. I see no percentage in it for anyone, apart from the worst people in our industry, permitting companies to have the option to act unethically. I don't think that adds value for anyone.
I'm all for antitrust and pro-consumer regulation, but there appears to be a faster path now.
It's all stochastic hill climbing, and the gradients are changing. The new salient is using AI to tear down moats and make the grading factor how good companies are to customers.

If we take this hyperbolic future at face value, against all the indicators of how bad and unmaintainable AI code is, especially the more it scales up, if we just ignore that and pretend for a moment that Claude can make actual, honest-to-god, functional software based on nothing but prompts: then why do any companies survive at all, apart from Anthropic? Why would you buy Photoshop, any Photoshop, irrespective of it's quality and how good Adobe can be, when you can just have Photoshop, for the cost of the Claude subscription you're already paying for?
Why does ANY software house survive? Why does ANY game developer?
The New York times publishing an article you don’t like is not “communist infiltration”. In this country, we have a right to free speech, including free press.
My point is that Russian propaganda from the 20th century made its way into intellectual water supply just like Russian propaganda from the 21st century. The propaganda is different, but the mechanism has parallels.
So it is communist infiltration of the variety where there were no communists and there was no infiltration, just somebody read a book or whatever and then wrote about it?
You keep changing the words. Above you said “Soviets.” I don’t think they’re soviets. But I do think they’re communists. So “communist infiltration” is accurate.
Why would I keep asking about Soviets after you clarified that you meant Russian propaganda in your first response?
I’m no communist infiltration expert or anything but do you have something to support your assertion other than suggesting people read “How to Parent Like A Bolshevik”?
You may wish to read the thread more carefully, because you are mistaken. If after carefully rereading the thread you still believe you are correct, please explain exactly what part of this sentence:
> “And Zuck’s sudden interest in MMA/boxing/Jiu Jitsu as part of his “alpha male” rebranding”
equates general interest in fitness with being an “alpha male”. Because to me it is pretty clearly referring to the interest in combat sports, not fitness.
Why shouldn't our civilization be defined by how efficiently we use the energy we gather? Or the lifespan and health of our citizens?
Claiming that the sum of a civilization is how much energy it controls is just a meme from the 50's. It's a shitty, short-sighted metric. One that would consider building a nuclear reactor and dumping the power into a bank of resistors as contributing "more progress" than growing abundant food, or protecting the ecosystem.
It's our civilization, we can define progress however we want.
What's that? The mechanical parrot can be tricked into repeating things that aren't true? It's almost like these are statistical language models and not literal Deus Ex Machina.
In this case, I don't know that the result will be increased prices necessarily. If landlords are forced to show people honest prices (as opposed to now where the advertised price is at least a few hundred under the real price, but those are mandatory "fees" instead of rent), they may have to bring prices down to compete. It's possible that the currently "honest" landlords will raise rent to match the new higher prices with fees lumped in, so we'll have to see how it plays out.
Seriously. They already get caught uploading everyone’s private credentials once before, one would have to be a particularly gullible rube to trust grok again. Especially with musk in charge.
