uh. I think code-writing is just colloquial for "low level implementation details". What he's pointing at is 1. LLMs have no social pull. Thus all the anti-AI outrage (LLMs cant defend themselves) 2. AI is shit at expert-lvl

bro, both are American CEOs. What is this racialized nonsense, have you seen Jensen Huang speak Mandarin? His mandarin is actually awful for someone who left Taiwan at 8.

It's ridiculous to bring up a war scenario when it's about EVs. Go reshore the military. Yes, the Americans and Western Europe lost in EVs. Though, I only ever see Americans turn this event into losing a war.

Exactly. I had this exact thought experiment of "What if America were no longer Hegemon". So, I looked at other historic examples. The British, Dutch, and Spanish. (You can add German/Austrian and the French, close contender

yeah honestly files was such a disappointment for me. Modern i5 from 2 years ago desktop system on windows 11 and it would crash every 2-3 days just browsing with at most <15 tabs open. Was it coded in electron? What's filepilot mad

> China + Hong Kong/Taiwan Seems pretty disingenuous to include this, no? No invasion ever occured, compared to the million or so deaths in Afghanistan and god knows how many by the time the Ukraine conflict is over.

This is just moving the goalposts and sophistry at this point. Your initial statement was Taiwan was measurably better per capita than Singapore, though the GDP and economic statistics show otherwise. You can also look at various happiness

These are very broad generalizations you're claiming with no evidence. > Most of countries are more or less on the development level that their culture and geographic location permits. So, given this assertion, no developing country

Uh... No. Singapore's second largest native population are Malays then Indians, which IIRC are 13% and 7% of the population as of 2024. I do not think this was much different historically. Europeans are not very present in Singaporean

Oh yeah, I played Genshin for a year as well. It is a very well-polished, high-budget game with some good implementations of gameplay mechanics. Which makes it the quintessential example of the modern AAA skinnerbox game. Polished gameplay,

I don't think even the Crypto VCs are approaching this from the angle of making a compelling video game. They don't need to. This is all about creating the next platform for ingame digital consumerism. Think Genshin impact rather

And by taking a single inflammatory and ultimately inconsequential soundbite from the article, you now risk derailing the entire discussion into a flamewar. Assuming, of course, that wasn't your original intent to begin with.

Putting away the scams, environmental concerns, and lack of regulation is a big caveat though. They are an inherent cost to the crypto space that currently lack an immediate resolution (to my knowledge). How much "previously economical

Some quick maths. an increase of +17k Fentanyl deaths in a year. Let's say they all died at 20. Of the ~2.5million annual deaths, which average to be life expectancy (78.8 years). Life expectancy goes down to 78.4. A net change of 0.4

A quick google search would show this is untrue. Opioid overdoses kill 40,000 a year. 2.7 million Americans die per year. Even if you were talking about a decrease in healthy lifespan, Opioids do not generally cause a person to transition
