> We hid our “we know better” hubris under the term “disruption” because the reality (breaking everything) was a little too unsettling for us. That's not quite right. For a decade, the silicon valley mantra was "Move fast and b

We were able to invent a chip that already existed so fast, you guys. AI does not make anything new, it is not surprising that it can regurgitate what already exists much faster than humans can invent new things.

AI code, even from the top models from the top labs is distinctly inhuman. If you can't see the difference, you are a terrible programmer.

We are witnessing a generational lack of accountability and concern for the commons. We are being spied on everywhere we go, we are exposed to coercive advertisements at every waking moment. All of this at the hands of private actors. And y

Everybody working on AI agents should go to jail with no access to computers again. Like the kids of xbox underground.

A retraction from the gaming market wouldn't necessarily mean they'd still even produce the current crop of products. I could (and I would argue would) involve a complete shuttering of the GeForce brand, halting current production

> Electrek has a bias against Tesla/Musk, IMHO and so tend to paint everything in a negative way. I would say Tesla and Musk are a little bit worse here than Siemens or Honda or whatever. Usually the manufacturers don't lie qui

Coming from a family of local contractors, some of whom install HVAC and such. Most of them probably understood this. It's part of the business. Pretty much every product, you are going to install, has some sort of training required, t

I don't care about any of your examples. I am explicitly not talking about Iran, China, Russia, Takedown requests by the UK, "downsizing" the government, or "remigration". I have opinions about all that, but it is n

Yes, Twitter frontpage should include a little counter with how much child exploitation it has facilitated today. I don't think there's a single politician in Bruxelles that wouldn't love to come down hard on X. There is no l

I don't think it's helpful to suggest that "both sides" are equal in American politics, but I do think you have to be a least a little understanding that the democrats aren't an attractive alternative to most Americ

I'm not an expert here, but I don't think you're supposed to backfeed electricity into your panel while you're connected to the grid. Doing something like this (historically at-home solar) you'd need a way to discon

> You talk. It models. Physics checks the work. How does physics "check the work"? Do you run a physics engine? Do you make it in reality and do physical tests? What the fuck? Gets this slop away from me.

How do you figure out they are "getting high value from it" What if they feel like they are getting value from it, but are actually not?

If I had to pay $10k salary for a certain job previously, but I now have to pay $10k + $2k for the same job. Why would I not care about that? You were doing your job perfectly well previously, why do you want more budget?

This reads either AI generated, or written by someone who has gotten too used to AI writing. The structure is off and filled with "Here's what happened next" and "Why that matters" and "X happens, not Y" w

They claimed these problems LONG before agents were the new thing. To my eye it started with the bullshit around GPT-2, and that was in 2019, 7 years ago.
