truthbe··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
Like my grandfather used to say "They let anyone on TV now", They let anyone be called an expert now.

Love talking about 'recursive self-improvement' of a prediction engine. What about 'recursive self-degradation'?

truthbe··on Google Declaring War on the Web
The internet has been dying for the past decade. This might just be the final nail in the coffin.

Honestly, I’m all for accelerating the death of the current internet. The web in its current form is miserable - algorithmic sludge, ads, bots, SEO spam, ragebait, AI filler.

I’m more interested in what grows out of the rubble, because this version clearly isn’t it.

> Google made an egalitarian web, where money doesn't matter and attention does.

They did? Could have sworn their whole business model up until the other day was attention for whomever can pay the highest bid for their ad space.. I guess I've been doing it wrong

truthbe··on Don't trust AI agents
Over engineered implies the codebase was inflated with some kind of rationale by the AI, but there is none. It's just code vomit with duct tape

You would have to believe that an AI model would be 100% correct in its decision to discern an enemy from a civilian. So an intelligent lunatic, or an uninformed lunatic politician
truthbe··on Ask HN: How did you get your drive back?
> which only makes things worse

Could you explain what problem you feel you're facing exactly. From my perspective I'm envious that you have enough drive that the only issue is you can't stop working, I want that so bad. Obviously i'm missing a key bit of info

truthbe··on Ask HN: How did you get your drive back?
You're very right, thank you.
truthbe··on Ask HN: How did you get your drive back?
I mean theres no doubting you're 100% right. I actually met this self described actor last week on my travels over here, he basically went all in on the goal of trying to be an actor I think only a couple years ago. Mind you he's only playing short films but the drive and excitement he has, thats the kind of friend I wish I had. Of course it was a fleeting friendship as he lives in a different country but a great friendship would make things easier thats for sure
truthbe··on Ask HN: How did you get your drive back?
My friends all work and aren't focused on anything other than paying off their mortgages and living stable lives. Which is good but the deep conversations are mostly about how unsatisfied they are with the cost of living which in turn makes me more anxious to try something new. Basically I have no entrepreneurial dreamer friends
truthbe··on Ask HN: How did you get your drive back?
I do not, would it help?
