To be fair, I buy my beers on CC. If someone really wanted to know the best IPAs and session able beers they could get, they could audit my CC records and then cross check to the breweries and pubs to see what I was buying. Just depends how

Really reminds me of the Russia leadership portrayals in Chernobyl.

This is all simultaneously true and simultaneously disappointing. It requires a certain forfeiture of morality to be a part of this status quo. But, especially on grants between academia and the government, this very much seems to be the st

I think it hurts more knowing that it's in the public, but nothing will be done and they'll continue to smother the general public all the same.

So we want to replace a lot of cheap human labour with expensive robots? Even if I think this has legs, where do the cheap humans go to work after? Where/what are the remaining jobs for all of this displaced labour in both white collar

Now how about a household robot that does all those things and is controlled by an Elon Musk company or by some other completely benevolent techno oligarch?

This perspective is only relevant if we assume nobody on HN ever posts maliciously. Some of the circles here are small, incestuous, and probably have some resentment. Other times, there's clear botting - very hard to talk against Elon

I think the latter on this one.

Sounds like a convoluted and expensive way to pollute our skies for generations to come.

How dare you ~ the OP just now reading your thought experiment.

Brother I'm not clear there will be a midterm election and I'm confident most of the electorate on both sides feel very disenfranchised voting and suspect the system is not working on the level.

So far, I see way more companies paying each other in a circular fashion than individuals forking out anything near whatever tam SpaceX is projecting for AI.

This is peanuts compared to the 100T TAM in my prospectus around posting insightful comments on HN and Reddit that will help transform humanity.

So what are the rocket ships for?

Sorry, I watched it sans audio. I don't have twitter (or insta or fb) so their links default to muted on click. That said, it would still be good if we could address general comprehension, exercise, and private AI usage all with this o

They need to tackle two American problems at once and turn it into an exercise bike!

I watched the "is this real" video and I'm still* not sure if it's real lol. Regardless of this website presentation, the idea is sound and I'm behind it. We need to stop giving everything away to a hyper concentrat

How does this look if it's a perpetual motion machine instead of a doomsday device?

My post was not disrespectful. It was matter of fact. And if the Petro Dollar only persists by use of force or perceived force, it's probably not a sustainable system for humanity. So hopefully we can go back to a soft power maintained

> I wholeheartedly believe US can solve issues when it’s an important one. What's the last important issue in the US that was democratically resolved?

It means they don't care enough to meaningfully make sacrifices for change. To deal with school shootings is to change the constitution. The American constitution is basically wired for school shootings. To change the constitution is b

It's just harder to get the average joe charged up to fight a battle with anything meaningful on the line. Americans are used to living relatively cushy lives where they don't sacrifice their QOL to make the lives of their country

It'll be a similar theme for all facets of work involving any language, slowly - human or code. We'll parrot about humans in the loop this and that, but I think it'll be less humans in the loop over time and I think most peop

I understand this perspective. I'll just note that as the abilities increase, the intent is to have some non -coding IC or TPM/manager literally just managing some LLMs and cutting out some software engineers. The goodness is spec

How much does the appetite for good* software need to grow to not have loss of jobs?

It certainly feels like we need a reset on the expectations placed upon politicians at all levels of governance. Somehow. I think politicians have completely lost the plot in their job and who they represent. Instead, they seem all ideologi

Just this morning, someone told me SpaceX valuation proponents couldn't possibly be more obtuse; yet, this thread has blown through those expectations.

by SecretDreams 4mo ago
This is true. We just need to bank on a total economic collapse and all of our SpaceX valuation fantasies can come true.
