90% of US working hours are spent on tasks not covered well by AI benchmarks

a day ago by Beep to c/technology

The US Benchmark Map places AI benchmarks across the American economy, measuring which parts of the labor force are covered by unsaturated, public, agentic benchmarks.

So they failed in yet another core software development tenet, the 90% problem. If an app doesn't cover 90% of typical use, adoption will typically fall flat.

So a bunch of rich assholes wanted to replace their workers, but didn't do any background research at all about anything any of their employees do

We are ruled by morons. They probably assumed their employees did nothing except draw a wage.

They tend to think they're rich because they deserve it. Therefore, their employees are not deserving - i.e. competent - as them. And they don't do much.

(NVM that in my experience in the IT/infosec world, they can't work a DVD player. I don't know how many board rooms I've been sent to to press a button or plug in a cable)

Capitalism naturally rewards bullies, bullies are dumb on average. This is how we got here.

It's a tool. It does what it does. When they invented pencil sharpeners it didn't help people who use pens.

It's a good analogy and point. This will help a lot of people but not all

You're conflating benchmarks with the product

I mean, yeah, Qwen 3.8FN is good but it can't cut your hair or make a sandwich.
