huntertwoon Sonnet 5.5

Plan longer chains of work / higher level goals that can be broken down into multiple chains of work. This will allow you to automate more work units to be worked on.

The speed of your manual reviews become the limiting factor, which you should be doing at some level to maintain sanity, even if there are enough ideas to be worked on to maintain a review queue.

huntertwoon Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?

A contractor has agency and accountability - something that an LLM (or similarly, a nail gun or a hammer or a bot net) does not have. When you anthropomorphize a tool, you implicitly give it agency and remove responsibility from the wielder of the tool.

huntertwoon Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?

There’s so many grifters in the space without a technical understanding of what’s going on. So when the labs mislead them about the nature of these “misalignments”, they believe it and amplify it.

huntertwoon UAE to leave OPEC

Is that what I’m doing? Am I providing support to Iran? Or am I just expressing an opinion that criticizes Israel?

huntertwoon UAE to leave OPEC

When you make a ceasefire and then strike first, that’s called being the aggressor.

How many civilians has Israel killed since oct 7? When is it enough?

Israel killed >50k civilians since October 7 between all the conflicts

Revenge is not a justification for destroying civilizations.

Israelis also rape, kill, and do other vile things to prisoners, innocent or guilty, who they imprison with or without charge.

huntertwoon UAE to leave OPEC

First paragraph

> On 1 April, Israel bombed an Iranian consulate complex in Damascus, Syria, killing multiple senior Iranian officials.[28] In response, Iran and its Axis of Resistance allies seized the Israeli-linked ship MSC Aries and launched strikes inside Israel on 13 April.[6]

Not to mention, Israeli occupations in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. Iran is not the only bad actor.

Even when Israel strikes first, someone else started it. Brilliant!

Shouldn’t UAE be upset their entire economy has absolutely rammed by the war started by Israel? At least the Saudis have pipelines - UAE is fucked

huntertwoon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

It’s ok, it follows the rules - I made the comment very thoughtfully and it is indeed substantive. It’s also not snarky and isn’t a shallow internet trope.

huntertwoon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

Very true - the one caveat being that certain people know of the existence of things that should be published - lots of way to trip yourself up and get caught if you’re trying to conceal things or otherwise improperly redact information.

huntertwoon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

When you sue someone, you can subpoena for evidence. Any evidence from that presented to the court is then public record. The police and criminal justice system doesn’t usually enforce privacy like that in criminal proceedings.

Are you trying to say that these documents shouldn’t be public because it violates someone’s right to privacy?

huntertwoon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

Only certain redactions are allowed under this law, so it’s not so cut and dry. There is an enforcement mechanism, tbd if it actually gets used.

huntertwoon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

They are being forced to release the files by a new law passed by congress. This is malicious compliance and they’re not actually releasing what they’re supposed to be releasing.

Rich people are hiding their crimes against children with corruption. This law seeks to reveal this corruption. Why is that wrong?

huntertwoon Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files

> I can see why someone would hesitate to release them - there's a lot to sift through and it's likely even the government couldn't sift through all of them to make sure their friends weren't mentioned somewhere.

huntertwoon Alibaba Cloud says it cut Nvidia AI GPU use by 82% with new pooling system

I think Japan likely shares more values culturally with China than USA outside of political systems. In any aspect outside of that Japan is not western.

huntertwoon Alibaba Cloud says it cut Nvidia AI GPU use by 82% with new pooling system

5 years behind becomes 3 years behind. China is expanding their manufacturing abilities faster than the US. Soon they will surpass the US. Look no further than their generic consumer electronics manufacturing.

huntertwoon Alibaba Cloud says it cut Nvidia AI GPU use by 82% with new pooling system

The whole “China copies everything” narrative is becoming less and less true.

It’s funny - it’s at the point with Chinese manufacturing for niche electronic goods (e.g rooftop van air conditioner) where some Chinese brands are more trustworthy - more value for your money and sometimes even better overall quality. With American brands you gotta make sure you’re not overpaying for dated tech that is inefficient. Maybe the same will happen with LLMs.

Is it just me or is trivial software getting overfunded? How does an AI skin on vscode or conda have a big enough moat for these crazy rounds?

huntertwoon The $25k car is going extinct?

You mean 23k usd? Corolla is 22k msrp i.e under 20k euro. Nissan versa is 20k msrp. Then account for the fact that Americans have higher income than Europeans.

huntertwoon The ‘white-collar bloodbath’ is all part of the AI hype machine

Marketers gonna market. But if we ignore the semantics of what full self driving actually means for a minute, there is still a lot of possibilities for self driving in the future. It takes longer than we perceive initially because we don’t have insight into the nuances needed to achieve these things. It’s like when you plan a software project, you think it’s going to take less time than it does because you don’t have a detailed view until you’re already in the weeds.
