No. I’m just an NPC in someone else’s simulation. Wandering the world aimlessly incapable of expressing ideas outside of my training corpus of language. Pathetic.

You probably express very few truly original ideas. Let’s not set the bar quite so high unless we are all just a sad simulacrum of “pure” thought.

So does a human engaged in rationalization or confabulation just appear to reason? We might be closer to these machines than you think, and I don’t mean that in a positive way.

I don’t have much confidence n the premise. Where was the human control? I think most Python programmers when tasked with “now do it in brainfuck” would fail. There is not much meaningful overlap in how to express intent and solutions to pr

Bentley Software is proof that you can ship products with massive, embarrassing defects and never lose a customer. I can’t explain enterprise software procurement, but I can guarantee you product quality is not part of that equation.

China is not going to defend Canadian interests, friend.

No longer? Never was. The Epstein Alliance does not have your interest at heart. Whatever comes after those oligarchs decay will probably be worse.

The company I worked for has a contract with them. My best guess as to why is that shareholders use their power over management to force publicly traded companies to funnel money into the pockets of their mafia friends. I can’t explain what

At some point there will be market consequences for that kind of behavior. So where market dynamics are not dominated by bullshit (politics, friendships forged on Little St James, state intervention, cartel behavior, etc.) if my company pro

There are many such mysteries, right? How does Oracle make money when every product of theirs sucks and is worse than free alternatives? How is it that Google and Meta seem to have more revenue from “advertising“ than everyone spends on adv

That’s interesting because that is one feature of Claude code that I like. Given an overly broad problem statement. It does go into a planning loop where it seeks clarifying questions. I think this probably has something more to do with the

Quite a few people think that about Claude code. I disagree with them, personally, but I think we can agree that AI code generation is qualitatively at least as good as the worst human professionals. I think we would also probably agree tha

To be honest, I think US demographic trends are a lot worse than whatever is going on with China.

This is a completely unfounded conspiracy theory, but I think it’s a fun one. I think Elon Musk is running these companies the same way that he is a top ranked Diablo player. He just plays one on TV. The decision makers in the military indu

I appreciate this sober take. If you hired a remote developer and the only thing you said to that person was “build a program that does this. Make no mistakes” would you expect that to be successful? Are you certain you would get what you w

You can always code by hand as a hobby. If someone is paying you for your work results, that you find it interesting or fun is orthogonal. I get the sense from the commentary section here that there’s a perception that writing programs is a

Microsoft keeps disappointing and chief technology officers keep paying them. Wasn’t Elon Musk supposed to prove you could vibe code their entire product line? What happened to all that?

I think it’s time to accept that Internet comments are the bloodsport of our day.

The most benign answer would be that they don’t want to further support an emerging competitor to OpenAI, which they have significant business ties to. I think the more likely answer which you hinted at is that the utility of the model fall

China did users a solid and Qwen is a thing, so the scenario where Anthropic/OpenAI/Google collude and segment the market to ratchet prices in unison just isn’t possible. Amodei talking about value based pricing is a dream unless

Do not keep bad results in context. You have to purge them to prevent them from effecting the next output. LLMs deceptively capable, but they don’t respond like a person. You can’t count on implicit context. You can’t count on parts of the

I don’t think you’re being serious. Claude and GPT regularly write programs that are way better than what I would’ve written. Maybe you haven’t used a decent harness or a model released in the last year? It’s usually verbose, whereas I woul

I was wondering why we’ve already give up on the harrier.

Weird. It used to be the opposite. My own experience is that Claude’s behind-the-scenes support is a differentiator for supporting office work. It handles documents, spreadsheets and such much better than anyone else (presumably with server

Some people don’t farm social credit. I usually drop my account after it gets too high because the evidence of hipsters approving of my words shames me.

If the DOW needs fissile material, then you might be impressed at how fast things are done. The obstacles are mostly discretionary.

You might give it a try. If you signal your loyalty consistently enough, you might find a patron who will give you a little money to live as a progressive missionary. You may not have the genetic bona fides to get a speaking role on NPR, bu

Would it be better for privacy? I just can’t imagine a world where our “intelligence” blows up elementary schools and runs child rape rings and somehow telecom companies are allowed to make a product that doesn’t have access for “white” hat
