⚡ Gates urges AI limits: harm>benefit; Salesforce CRM + Claude; LLMs flop
The AI industry is moving from a replacement fantasy to an assistive reality. Legal institutions and cloud providers are accelerating the deployment of Agents, and model quantization has further lowered the barrier to deployment. Notably, however, recent research repeatedly confirms that AI’s performance on core judgment tasks is effectively zero—and that using AI for initial drafting rather than final decisions actually enhances human professional competence. Taken together, the current race is not about replacing white-collar workers, but about using mature toolchains to anchor irreplaceable human judgment within human-AI collaboration.
