This to me is a sign that you still haven’t quite internalized the zen of hobby programming. You are clinging to an ego. It’s not about being the first or only person who has programmed something, it’s about the satisfaction you get from simply doing it. It is a private victory. You can still find people to share it with, who will feel your enthusiasm for the thing you created.

Couldn’t they just use AI to sue at scale? No one should be too small to go after now.

A better analogy: the harness is a harness, the LLM is the belayer. You are the climber. Except you’re barely climbing. The LLM is helping you hangdog your way up a mountain you have no business climbing. And when you get to the top you’ll feel very accomplished but you did nothing really. The LLM pulled you up by brute force.

Not could, should. The people in his conversations didn’t consent to this. How can we report him?

Instead of closing doors to AI Agents, it is time to start issuing `402 Payment Required` statuses and have the agents pay per use.

Brains, found in other people's bodies.

A good one.

Why is a bitcoin worth anything?

You won’t, leadership requires even less brain.

We don’t use cloning enough IMO.

I had this dream once where we invented a type of tattoo that would make your skin transparent so you could see muscle and veins underneath. I think it could still happen.

Please update in a week

I would really like to build out little hardware products the way I build software, but I need PCB design to become a “solved” problem with AI. Being able to build stuff you can hold in your hand in the real world is a kind of magic I’d like to experience.

Absolutely, we just saw a car fly yesterday.

/tmp/social would have been better I think. dev = device, doesn’t make sense.

Sex isn’t as sexy as it used to be, has little appeal. Our world today is filled with far more interesting things.

I don’t want a house built by people who are just trying to get a paycheck because they got laid off from their cushy office jobs.

Would people really pull the level to save 5 people? It seems to me like the default would be to just do nothing, stand by and record what happens with your phone.

He had to.

Only the journey is different.

The alternative is stay in a capitalist system, get paid little working a shitty job, that never really affords you time to go on a vacation anywhere, and have no real family or community at all. Honestly you’re not making cults sound unattractive compared to the looming alternative in the high unemployment AI dominated world.

if you no longer needed money, how much would you really need to be paid?

Sometimes I think joining a cult wouldn’t be too bad right about now. Hear me out: a bunch of people pool money to buy a massive amount of land somewhere and then building everything they need by hand: homes, farms, etc. and everyone has a strong sense of community from daily interaction and shared purpose, with regular rituals to keep a sense of stability. If we must work by manual labor, it is more satisfying to work to benefit those around you than for increasingly worthless dollars. No smartphones or thinking machines allowed.

We must push for radical candidates who will be willing to inflict infinite punishment on those who have wronged us. The appetite for such a candidate is brewing.

Nonsense. This administration erased entire programs with the stroke of a pen. A future administration could do the same. Everything this administration has done can be unraveled.

Can an AI leader sieze your assets, kill you, and leave you unable to do anything about it, legally or physically? The government can.

Without a monopoly on violence they are not as powerful as you think they are.

AI leaders aren’t important, why not track actual politicians?

This has always been the dream, code flowing constantly like a river, like green rain. Imagine a world where you never use the same piece of software twice, because every day it changes.

This is how we solve cybersecurity, by making code into constant shifting sand, so a vulnerability never truly lives long enough to be exploited at scale. Sure, a hacker may occasionally pick out a vulnerability like a bear picks salmon out of a river, but it makes larger scale cyberattacks impractical. The code is a firehose, constantly in flux.

Really Earth is only slightly habitable. The atmosphere is thin, there’s not a lot of fresh water. Temperatures fluctuate wildly. There’s probably better planets. Earth is maybe only good for marine creatures.

You also have to be a total scumbag.
