Waymo does not do this. You can't remote drive a car.

I like to imagine it means pacing around the frontier like a leopard looking for prey.

Is that assuming Instacart/DoorDash? Click and collect or even delivery from grocery stores isn't nearly that bad, right? I thought it was pretty competitive.

> It can never be better for consumers. The only way a business would adopt this practice is if it leads to greater revenues. On average, that necessarily means worse prices for the average consumer.

That depends on the distribution of consumer incomes. Price discrimination (charging people more who can afford more) can be good for low-income customers.

Mostly towards social insurance for old people.

It's not the only such CPU, Fujitsu's also have TSO.

> Who is the most prominent example?

I don't believe any of these people are relevant or prominent, but the unimportant people I was thinking of were bloggers like PZ Myers, I think they called themselves "Atheism+" or something.

> Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris - all prominent right-wing figures

Are they? That's um, a scientist whose pop book on genetics I read once, a guy I read in The Nation once, and a guy whose book on Buddhism I read once. I remember the first two evolving into GenX curmudgeons (probably the lead poisoning) and have never thought about the last one again. Still, those aren't the right-wingers I'm familiar with.

Arguments are not executable code or the final work product of… whatever it is they're arguing about. You have to continue interacting with these people and their AIs, so the underlying question of whether they're trustworthy and not evil always exists.

> It's californication into the "rationalist" community as it currently stands is no surprise.

This is the minority split. Most of the online new atheism writers became progressives/social justice/"woke 1.0" people. That trend has receded, so I couldn't tell you what they're doing now. (Probably blocking each other on Mastodon.)

The rationalists are the ones who stayed behind and decided to stick to doing logic and math in their heads instead of thinking thoughts the normal way.

Well, a cult is a high-control social group that's difficult to leave and requires you to believe and do strange things that are likely bad for you or at least take up all your time and resources. And a sex cult is what it sounds like.

Neoliberal YIMBYism?

Brisbane is like Miami if it was full of British people. (Except richer and with sunburns.)

Melbourne is like Seattle if… actually it's literally just Seattle except they think they invented it.

> Even things from the US are coming here, like the growth of Halloween.

Halloween is nearly 100% Irish/Scottish. The only American contributions are using a pumpkin, and sometimes holding it in a parking lot.

The cyborg you replied to.

Something like this seems unlikely to work for a behavior so burned into them. It'd be better to do a second pass to delete all the nonsense comments.

That's a Claude.

> I have a stage-gated workflow

This is a Claudism, right? I feel like I never saw "gated" used this way before it.

Eh. They recently changed the algorithm quite a lot, and the guy who was in charge of it (Nikita Bier) made it a lot less evil when Elon wasn't looking. But now he's gone so who knows what will happen.

Unlike GPT (I think?), Claude is served by all of AWS/GCP/Azure and you can go buy it from any of them.

> - AI centralizes power in the hands of capital, rendering those who can afford compute hardware vastly more capable than those who cannot and thus increasing social stratification

Looks to me like I can run Claude Code without being able to afford my own datacenter.

> - AI produces large amounts of mid-tier content, making it harder to discover exceptional human-created creative content produced after AI started to exist

That it does, but I think the real social evil is bad recommender systems. eg YouTube is basically on a mission to drive me insane because it literally only recommends me a) reviews of espresso machines b) video essays by autistic people about Mario 64 c) PBS scienceslop about how quantum physics is super mysterious. None of these are even what I watch, but they're also not what I want to watch.

After a year of not being able to serve Claude because they ran out of datacenters I don't think they want to go back to that.

(If they did, they wouldn't have added the effort level.)

No, there's no reason chatbot behavior would have anything to do with frequency of text in pretraining.

I think the specific issue with Opus 5 is that its writing style is just trying to cheat at RL. It makes everything hypey yet self deprecating and constantly brings up "honest caveats" because the scoring rubrics look for those.

> Twitter was changed so that only views favoured by Musk show up prominently in replies.

This doesn't happen anymore, it's actually relatively good at sorting bad comments to the bottom now. The current problem is it's full of wannabe LinkedIn influencers with "Building for AI agents in business in public" in their profile using LLMs to reply to everything.

You can't turn off random parts of a system someone else made. You don't know what they do.

Anything with ranged numeric types. Like everyone's favorite functional programming language, Ada.

Haskell's type system would not easily prevent this bug. It's not good at numeric/logic issues like that. When people say "Haskell makes it impossible to write bugs" they mean "Haskell has enums" (ADTs).

Since the groups are unrelated, they don't actually have consistent wealth levels or belief. It's literally just a list of random people she doesn't like.

Background processes almost never really use expensive resources on macOS or Linux. Certainly they can cause symptoms sometimes, but it's typically no worse than extra fan noise.

All the wasted resources on most people's machines are going to a) pixel buffers b) browser tabs c) both.
