As a post modernist I must grant you the right to interpret what I wrote however you want to but it feels like you're probably just rage baiting yourself for lulz.

Radical does not just mean untraditional. It can also mean "advocating extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affairs". Which do you think I meant?

Basically all op-ed level pieces on AI make me feel like dialectic materialism really needs to make a come back. Public discourse has given up on engaging with the physical constraints of the world in a meaningful way.

Alzheimer's has quite high heritability. A family history seems like sufficient explanation.

I don't think the unit economics are too terrible. Expensive, but not impossible. 200m knowledge workers in US and EU. Total salary around $15T/year. $1T/year in token spending is about $5k/year per person. A big number,

I disagree. Lots of people are so laser focussed at only the close to the code aspects of programming they are unable to leverage the enormous increase in scope it can offer them. There is absolutely room for head count reduction while comp

Photoshop (and many traditional SaaS products) solve hundreds of different use cases. Most users probably only care about a handful of them. You don't need to do every use case to kill SaaS if you have a tool that can allow users to so

I read all the code I generate with Cursor and some of it smells a bit weird but is easily fixable and most of it is as good as what I would write or better.

The current state of the technology is that you must read at least some of the code, but everyone keeps shipping tools that are focussed on churning out more and more stuff without giving you any affordances to really understand the outpu

> it's a sort of red pilled book that teaches you how to manipulate people. This is not an unfair view of the book IMO. While OPs excerpt is lovely, the core of the book is all about getting people to say yes and do things you want

Does having 1 billion tokens mean more total tokens in the context window are actually good quality, or do we just get more dumb tokens?

I spent decades using vim and Emacs but having moved to GUIs a few years ago I can't see myself going back. This whole TUI thing just seems like a fashion trend.

I grew up only a notch or two above poverty, I know what it's like and you can still be a good parent and not well off.

GitHub has been stagnant for so many years now. There was an extremely brief period where it was actually good and innovative at the same time. They've started shipping stuff again, but it's mostly not stuff I want.

There were riots and many people died. Many people lost their jobs. I didn't say this is good but it is happening. As individuals we should act to protect ourselves from these changes. That might mean joining a union and trying to infl
