I don’t want to be the one to go there but I think it’s ridiculous that NyT has 2000 engineers. GTA 5 had listed 150 SWE in its credits.

I think we are getting ahead of ourselves if we are to believe the 2,000 number without verifying it.

same for believing that 5x to 10x number. Funny enough I posted a comment yesterday saying "citation needed" and got a freaking email from an LLM this morning giving me a source that said there's less than a 20% gain, and that was only one study. I actually laughed out loud because of how hilarious it was. Person on the internet makes a ridiculous claim about LLMs and then I get an email hours later from an LLM telling me that the user was full of shit.

Advertising and marketing tech increases the bloat, I agree. I too think it's insane that Meta has 20,000 engineers for their entire product suite but when you develop for a malware featureset the bloat comes with it.
