Your site has a bunch of marketing copy, trademark symbols, and a link to pay you $2k/mo, but zero technical detail and is broken on mobile. It gives vibe coded. The benchmark of 2m black-scholes evals/sec is meaningless without a

Sounds like they did the ol “grok please make this secure” and it slopped out this plausible-if-you-squint nonsense. Rendering untrusted model output, ooh scary! Of course we want full audit surface !

Such a spec would never survive contact with reality. Maybe a human could stumble their way through iterating on it with the help of an LLM, but with current models you’re going to end up with nothing but a steaming pile of garbage. Not Zig

Not really, in such large companies there's enormous selection pressure favoring career politicians. Maybe some of the survivors did some engineering at one point, but expertise fades fast when you stop getting your hands dirty. Most a

I think it’s the opposite. The _distrust itself_ was pushed by those looking to stir up outrage, generate engagement, and turn it into votes. Case in point: look at all the people who’ve now built their entire political identities atop this

What positions did you hear and conclude were baseless?

I don’t disagree. It’s dehumanizing, and they have a legitimate complaint. In almost any other context I’d be on the side of the workers here. I just have a hard time seeing Meta employees as innocent or helpless bystanders.

It’s a bit hard to feel sympathetic here. Those signing this petition actively enable and profit from one of the most pervasive surveillance networks ever built. Funny how much easier it is to tolerate something when it only affects other p

Classic. So tell me how I can just not deal with the credit bureaus? Or tax filing companies? Or any site that sells my data to adtech, without totally secluding myself from the modern web? Where’s the supposed competition? What you’re say

> they'll find a way to verify age by themselves. Yeah, by outsourcing it to some shady company that sells all your private info to the lowest bidder. See Discord for example.

Look at the macro data. The overall median wage for all American workers combined has also drastically lagged behind economic productivity since the 70s.

Clearly that's not a good proxy either then... even the article itself says: > Ultimately, concerns over inequality should focus on differences within labor compensation rather than the split between labor and capital. The main issu

From a functionalist perspective, there is no “you” sitting in one body or another. The experience of “you” is just your specific memories and world model, continuously updated with sensory input. If another body “runs” the same exact patte

Good faith? All you’ve done in this thread is vaguepost and talk down to people who opened up about something they’re struggling with. You said tech can’t fix human problems. I gave you examples. You dodged with something cryptic about ment

A study obviously can’t prove that people need jobs to be happy. If you can so much as imagine a society organized around some other source of happiness, there’s your evidence by counterexample.
