He did think it was okay if your kids died so that he could have a gun. At least his kids are still alive. For the record, I'm okay with it.

In my experience I find most people more capable than LLMs and so do most Gen Z friends of my kids. It's an issue that will have to be solved if we are to avoid a bubble bursting. Tulips are great looking flowers, but you can't do

This feels like an advertisement for agentic AI. Though I agree wholeheartedly that teams can be proactive about blockers, this is only introducing more dependency that can lead to wasted effort or costs. The primary proposed solution is b

What's really messed up about this is that as designers of what AGI even means, these mostly self-taught or otherwise non-scientific clowns who think that being rich makes them smart will create the post-human life forms they think wil

Americans have control over what they're taxed as long as they make 8 figures or more per year. The rich and corporations here are paying a share, but not as big of a share of their pie as those who make less. What people were looking

I think this is like 90's VR. We saw all these options for it but in the end it was not as good as we imagined it was. There's a lot to explore in the space, but there's a ceiling. The technology will never live up to what we

What would improve this for most applicants would be having access to the repos where they actually work. What I have in GitHub is mostly after-hours work that is slapped together hastily as POCs. I'd never get hired and I've been

A lot of companies mentioned here have had slumps in quality. Many fast casual restaurants just microwave their food for instance. If any industry feels entitled to customers they deserve the slump.

Honestly, they already don't need 50% of what the system is offering. It's just going to take no one being able to afford it for the whole thing to break down. The lack of critical thinking at the top is breathtaking TBH.

Real values guide your actions. Whether you are a CEO or a burger chef. The problem we have is too many leaders think those values should come from someone else: shareholders, MBA programs, Steve Jobs' or Lee Iacocca's biography.

This is about to backfire. Did we not learn anything from what happened in the 79s with manufacturing? If you can't afford to bring the workers here you'll send the jobs there. Does MAGA understand cause and effect at all?

This is why we used to elect and appoint officials who were "the best of us". What we have now is a government that is signalling that they want to do right by their base while doing things without research that will do the opposi

To elaborate on this, the LLM is anonymous to the user and removes most social expectations from the interaction. Facing a person with expertise in a field one has little experience in is intimidating for many people. Here we see the drop o

I think this conversation is dancing around the relationship of memory and knowledge. Simply storing information is different than knowing it. One of you is thinking book learning while the other is thinking street smarts.

And this is a great example of something I rarely see LLMs doing. I think we're approaching a point where we will use LLMs to manage code the way we use React to manage the DOM. You need an update to a feature? The LLM will just recode
