See my related comment. The poor won’t be buying AI tractors they will be getting displaced by global development deals between governments that bring in such equipment to be operated by western firms. https://news.ycombinator.co

I am responding to “There is a real possibility that AI will displace human labor at very large scale.” In this usage I read the term “AI” to more broadly refer to all advancements in machine intelligence, not narrowly “agentic LLMs” as you

I’m not sure what you mean, there’s a lot of people talking about farming automation and its effects on working farmers.

I’ve stayed on 4.6. Was thinking of trying 4.7 though just today. Still, I did not jump on it day one.

At work they recently added AI note taking to meetings. In interviews we have a panel of interviewers and everybody publishes feedback. I continue to take candidate notes by hand in the interview and write my own feedback. During the review

Wow that’s remarkably nonsensical.

The simple answer is that these systems are very bad at telling the truth reliably.

1000 people think it’s a cool story. (I am one of them). I like Karpathy and I like Anthropic and I’m excited to see them together.

This doesn’t happen with regulated cannabis. This is just wild fantasy.

I don’t think it’s fair to say we tried letting people access it for recreational or performance use. The insurance companies and doctors became drug pushers without an explicit acknowledgment of what was happening. Easy access to drugs wit

Note that other types of engineering are also often vibes based. The mechanical engineering for a rocket engine is extremely rigorous but the engineering for an injection molded housing for a cheap cell phone is a lot more about following a

Wow I didn’t know about developer mode! I wonder if that will improve things for me…

On our Bambu H2D Pro printers at work, we can print in cloud mode and LAN mode at the same time. Bambu literally has this firmware built but they reserve it for “pro” users. The other thing pro users can do is disable cloud without any deve

I recall there was some understanding that it had a legitimate use as well as the obvious marketing, which was to advise the reader that the message may be unexpectedly concise or contain errors because it was sent from a cell phone, someth

They need better software and they also need better hands. That will take time. But the commenter suggested manufacturing them will be a challenge and at this point it doesn’t seem like manufacturing will be the issue. As far as application

I shudder to think of what IBM’s government based clients are using YOLO for.

Have you seen the mass produced humanoids from China? They’re incredibly capable (again, save for hands which is a huge mechanical and software problem) and cheap. https://youtu.be/mUmlv814aJo https://youtu.be&#x

We’re already seeing huge progress in humanoids coming from china. The big problem is software and world understanding, but the data collection from today’s humanoids and the rush to capitalize on their potential now that manufacturing thei

Keep in mind if you are in the US, your prices have been artificially raised by tariffs. 30% starting in 2018, then declining each year for a while to 15%. Those tariffs recently expired but when I searched I saw this article about new tari

It’s genuine but hilarious to consider the alternative where a new iPhone is not quite as good as the old model and apple states as much.

I love when Apple says they’re releasing their best iPhone yet so I know the new model is better than the old ones.

UBI requires a wealthy elite class to tax from that also does not capture the government and reduce or eliminate the UBI. The status quo shows us that if a wealthy class exists they will capture the government and eliminate benefits for the

Ya I thought it meant “more probable than not” ie 50+%. Otherwise I would say “you may have been hacked” not “you probably have been hacked”.

The question was about North Korean propaganda and American propaganda. Both are powerful and hard to see when you are immersed in them. That some countries do not take the same approach makes this no less true. However there are other form

Something that has been clear to me in using it, aside from direct claims by the authors, is that Claude is itself vibe coded slop. The number of random errors I get from using various parts of the web UI or CC that should work feels high f

It looks very different from the outside than it does from the inside. We are all subject to this.

Most inventions are an interpolation of three existing ideas. These systems are very good at that.

I agree completely, but you forget that another option is that the powerful will use these tools to make us suffer and we will be powerless to stop them.

The goal we all seek - liberation - is a distant one. That said I’m skeptical that UBI is the right way. UBI assumes and requires an elite ownership class and a powerful state to force them to share their profits. But as we’ve seen, such cl
