> Protection from downside risk on your S&P500 investments may cost 20-30% of your investment

What? Absolutely not.

And let’s be honest there’s absolutely no chance Oracle will be successful here right?

The only hope is that subsidised usage stops and somehow LLM’s can’t get any more cost effective from this point. No one is going to drop their guns and pick up a sword if they don’t have to.

It feels to me like I’m still thinking a lot, but more efficiently. My goal isn’t to write code, it’s to translate business requirements and to architect solutions while balancing trade offs. I’m putting an equal amount of thought into that, but I’ve offloaded a lot of lower value thinking. Am I missing something?

Turns out that it’s easier to be manipulated by a nefarious ally rather than the expected enemy.

I’m in the UK. There are a lot of people who are voting purely on the issue of Israel. For all this time I’ve found that to be quite ridiculous, we have enough problems here so why would a conflict we have little involvement in be your primary issue?

I’m starting to see a justification for this view that’s less about support for Palestine. It’s absolutely unacceptable that our governments are being infiltrated and manipulated by foreign powers (Israel). The grip they have over almost the entire political spectrum has become so clear, and it’s genuinely terrifying. It’s also very obvious, more obvious in the UK, that the support is not ideological - it’s corruption, coercion, manipulation.

I think I’m potentially there now, I simply cannot vote for you if you’ve been corrupted by Israel.

Anyone who thought this guy was a genius is probably still frantically applauding.

Is the scale there though? I know some people use AI like a companion or mentor, but how common is that really?

> You and I didn't. Some folks did.

No they didn’t. I’m sorry but this seems to be pure waffle.

Some intelligent people are vulnerable. All very low IQ people are vulnerable. Of course there is a correlation.

It doesn’t make me feel any type of way it’s just an observation that has been made. You can find interviews with ex-terrorists where they detail how recruitment is done and how work is delegated.

I don’t quite understand what you’re suggesting.

Genuinely most terrorists are mentally handicapped. They groom, coerce and exploit low IQ individuals, because those are the people you can convince to blow themselves up (or whatever else).

I think it’s just that the syntax is more difficult to grok. When I first saw code (PHP and JS) it was fairly easy to read and figure out what was going on. I’m now experienced but I’ve never tried Lisp, but reading Lisp code takes considerably more effort than when I first saw the PHP/JS. I’m sure with very little experience it becomes just as easy, but to the novel eye I think it’s simply less intuitive to reason about.

They’ve said they’re renting them out.

Why would I do that.

Well they’ve claimed operational profitability on that, and probably aren’t lying as they’re about to IPO…

That’s Mythos. Fable isn’t specifically for that I don’t think, just an enhanced ability and persistence of Opus.

Personally I wouldn't want to promote X.

Because that is how the law operates.

Statically typed languages with compiler hints are the absolute best languages for LLM's to work with. Successful compilation is incredible feedback, and it basically just means that there is a higher chance that the feature is in a complete and working state at the end of each agent iteration.

I don't actually guarantee it, that would be ridiculous.

> 2 months ago management was showing us scoreboards, praising leaders who used most tokens.

Everyone is insane.

I think it’s a fact that people do it and it’s a real phenomena. Whether it has any scientific basis or not is a different matter.

I guarantee half the folk commenting “ai slop” on people’s projects are folk who never read people’s code even before AI. Now they get to dismiss it without providing any specifics and feel superior.

Bacon - the ultimate diet food.

Why do you think you would have a choice? It’s up to the business owner if they want to spend money on AGI rather than hire you, if the AGI is more effective per $ they will choose that.

Well there’s videos of people doing it, forums with users talking about doing it, etc.

It’s pretty much the norm in all industries.

In my experience it didn’t seem that impactful at the time. The social effect of early Facebook was pretty minor, not that much different to the MSN chats that came before it. I think it’s social media content discovery algorithms specifically that caused the sea change. If we exclude modern social media life really wouldn’t be that different to how it was before smart phones. Obviously I understand smart phones are what enabled this…
