I thought this was about the actual US Power Grid, which is hilariously vulnerable. Right now you could ask your agent to crawl Shodan and trivially shut down a small power plant in Puerto Rico if you wanted.

People think OpenAI and Anthropic are just these wildly unprofitable companies with no future or business.

They know what they’re doing. The naysayers are like the people that said this little internet thing wasn’t going anywhere.

By any means necessary.

This is a subtly ageist view. The adults buying these LEGO now are likely the same kids who grew up with them. It is good for a company to adapt to their customers as they go through phases in life. This gives old generations and new generations a common ground to bond over, instead of segregating them into separate circles. Also, kids today might not be as interested in LEGO. Know your audience.

A nice memory.

If you merely want to afford a good life, you don’t need excess wealth.

If you want to ensure you have maximum power and control over others, there is likely no limit to the wealth you will be satisfied with.

Imagine for instance if you were a massive deca-billionaire, you could just pick a random person off the street and make them a multi-millionaire with the same ease that someone fills up their gas tank. In a society where money runs through everything, this is a god like power.

Payoffs will come, but most likely it will be when new companies start up from scratch in other industries, not from current incumbents somehow adapting quickly to advances in AI. Give it a generation, and all will be transformed by then.

oh wow, so mistakes can be prevented by merely picking Rust. wow.

In the age of powerful LLMs, is there really any reason to program in any higher abstraction than C? Seems like most other languages can be put out to pasture. They were just compromises and shortcuts to make things easier for humans.

The only reason to do this today is to turn your iPhone into a tool for other nefarious purposes or clickbot type farms.

Get used to it. In the AI era, gatekeeping is how you build value.

It’s over. If it got this far, they wanted this.

People gotta get over it. Just like we had to accept AI can code better than us, we have to accept that AI will just be far better at dispensing medical advice and enabling us to truly divulge all our medical history without being dismissed or judged by a doctor who sees so many patients they can’t possible care deeply about each and every single one.

It’s obvious, it takes more than just code and domain expertise to run successful companies. You need relationships, supply chains, marketing, etc.

They will go broke running 100 companies unprofitably until they attain enough market share to be dominant in their respective fields.

Not feasible.

In the tech industry, there are punishments far worse than the legal system.

I’d say maybe it’s more like a Roko’s Basilisk. He knew the potential existence of an embargo, but didn’t do anything to protect the embargo. So now that the embargo turned out to be real, he will be punished. Otherwise if he truly did not know an embargo could even exist, he could not be blamed.

Jev will give better results on this kind of thing.

Can someone explain the significance here, a lot has happened in 24 hours.

Code is more like a garden. You spend a lot of time just watching stuff grow, you don't know what you're going to get, sometimes you have to pull weeds, and you have to be mindful of the weather and soil conditions to ensure stuff grows optimally.

And it is still better to be a coder in a garden, than a gardener in CODE.

It turns out the true "pick axes and shovels" of the AI revolution won't be RAM and graphics cards, it's probably going to be cybersecurity.

You should have seen the IRC channels.

Easy option is to make it a globe then that you could spin around.

People got married in Ultima Online to real people.

yea you should be able to just map out a table surface and play a game of Civilization on it, seems like a no brainer.

At this point I look at everyone who self-identifies as an "entrepreneur" with the same suspicion as people who join MLM schemes.

At some point, the "No AI" filter should just block anything released after 2021. Games made before this are the low background steel.

Always teach your child how to really get the most out of life. How to make many friends, how to not do all the fuck ups you've done, the love you've missed out on from having a cynical heart.

“No AI” is too simplistic.

Does that mean no AI assistance at all? How is that possible to detect for if someone uses it for code generation and compiles it to a binary?

Do they mean no AI artwork? Maybe easier to detect, but mostly based on vibes still.

Do they mean no AI features? But why, wouldn’t an adventure game where you can talk naturally to NPCs be kind of cool?

Madness.

How about a filter for “No souless shitty copycat games that are pure cash grabs”. I’m sure Jev can help detect these at scale.

What would you enjoy if you were the last person alive?

Target is by end of Q4.
