> No one knows what AI will look like 6 months Which means that they were lying. Or they were wrong. But best to assume malice given their incentives. (No, that certain saying is just stupid.)

Thank you for a thoughtful reply. To my reading you demonstrate that you listened, even though I didn’t give you much to work with considering my curt[1] comments, and these resources look helpful. But I don’t understand the problem with th

Flintstone Engineering is applying Space Age synthetic intelligence (in a metaphorical sense) technology with code generation. Babysitting, version controlling, etc. generated code should be a thing of the past. But that is what GenAI is. A

That more democracy is more attackable is not a coherent position. More democracy means more people power. But people being powerless to resist misinformation campaigns means that they do not have power. Which means that it is not really de

I reach for my revolver when someone says that they are a better leader. That might mean that they have a captive audience of sycophants. The outdated sense of leader of the willingly lead is a different matter.

I would just like to lightly push back on that point. That bad code? That dead end? That month’s worth of tokens spent on a runaway loop? Those weren’t dead ends. Those were learning points. Experiences carried forward, etched in your mind.

This is two-tweet hot take about DK and Idiocracy (we live in a society). Yeah we know that LLMs tend towards sycophancy. Discussing DK has a real Matthew 7:3-5 vibe about it.

Carmack seems arrogant[1]. Which is why I take that statement as high praise. It’s also a nod to his own fame. [1] This is based on Masters of Doom . And the anecdotes are probably from the 90’s. And being arrogant does not mean that being
