There's not that much learning involved. Modern SOTA models are much more intelligent than what they used to be not long ago. It's quite scary/amazing.

Vaguely reminds me of a phenomenon in farming an acquaintance recently told me. Apparently automation is now so great (if you can afford it), that operators only need to sit in their tractors and let the machine do the rest. You're eff

There need to be much more powerful automated tools. And they need to meet critical systems where they are. Not very long ago actual security existed basically nowhere (except air-gapping, most of the time ;)). And today it still mostly doe

AI agents seem to be a powerful shortcut to the drudgery. But let's not forget, that powerful software rests on substance. My hope is the substance will increase, after all.

It was a stupid joke, don't mind it, sorry.

The RAG GP used suffered from semantic collapse.

Opus 6 will fire you instead for being too slow with the ideas.

And what about you? Show your "I used AI today" badge, right now!

Unlocking the next order of magnitude of software inefficiency! Though I do hope the generated code will end up being better than what we have right now. It mustn't get much worse. Can't afford all that RAM.

Atomization enables this. Any number of individuals are individually weak against their employer/some org, but a big group of them can be quite powerful. If many were to sacrifice their morals out of financial pressure easily (the cont

Dilapidating the world for an easy buck is gonna bite you and/or your kids eventually. We have reached technological sophistication where certain kinds of mistakes are not allowed if civilization as we know it is to survive.

Think Elon: A swarm of advanced AIs working from space, untouchable for most, steering execution of his power fantasy on earth. And if not he has military goons to sell it to. The technical discussions here are distractions to the avoid dea

What also seems to be shrinking is the awareness that the presence of LLMs does not obviate the need to understand the world. Sleepwalking into Idiocracy x Waterworld while dreaming of Star Trek...

Monopolies are rearing their ugly heads again. It's as if we learned nothing.

Pushing snowballs is a cute sentiment, albeit an incomplete metaphor, but it is also quite romanticized as depicted here. I get that it is about cooperation, "pushing" and growing the size and impact of organizations, but applied

If that is true then hats off. You are a very rare breed. Though one should consider that eventually (additional) legal responsibilities come into play, that need to be worth something as well.

What do you propose instead? Why don't the things that you condemn in "liberal democracy" happen there?

How much more intelligent and alive the internet used to be by default... I kinda miss that.

I wonder if LLM analysis could help with moderation automation if well implemented. It can still be human-in-the-loop and you need to apply it tastefully (!!!), i.e. not letting just the most hardcore dogmatists discuss in some extremist gr

To be fair BG3 is not without its AI problems. Be it stupid companions walking into danger or getting stuck or enemies that do nonsensical things. It also has a ton of glitches as detailed in the excellent bg3.wiki or shown by speedrunners.

Guess I'll have to play the other BGs next...

Baldur's Gate 3 has awesome story telling for video game standards. Plan 100+ hours for a reasonably complete first playthrough though.

Okay so there is a globally optimal point/region of taxation that is not "maximum taxation". Where is it?

by RGamma 9mo ago
There's many shades of grey between financial laissez faire and enforced equality. This entire "taxes are theft/unnecessary" (and frankly extremist in the neutral definition of the word) thinking is destroying the US pol

The system that exists in Germany has you pay 25% Abgeltungssteuer even on unrealized gains but those taxes can be deducted when you sell. Only in the event you sell at net loss do you not get that back. States are in dire need of liquidity

And not investing in society has some consequences as well... Increasingly it seems big business is bad business (again).

Not many moving pictures either. It was like the literary age of the internet.
