   That's the point. To show how they _haven't_ lost billions on this.

   Yup, that idea has been around for a while: https://cryptome.org/ap.htm

   I've settled on the same workflow. Also I never multitask with multiple agents doing other stuff. Meh I focus on just the one task.

   Hot take: the US government should invest money into AI. This is why this is happening. China is doing it.

   With a LOT of money, that's how.

   I think it's going to be brutal for them to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic. I switched to claude code because of usage. For $200 a month, I would run out of usage halfway through the month. Then be forced to use their composer model

   I 100% agree. It's soooo buggy. I gave up, canceled my plan, and went back to boring old VSCode. It feels so much more stable, and my Mac no longer runs out of memory. With cursor I had to reboot my macbook several times a week and had

    At _current_ prices. The idea is that labor and energy prices would be close to zero before this would happen. So it wouldn't be that "expensive" to provide basic food, clothes, etc. A lot of goods and services would be autom

    I think this guy is on to something. It's also interesting that India, which has arranged marriages, has such a high population and much better demographic situation than most of the West. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

    I'm convinced the real threat is a good quality robot arm that costs $2,000 and is trainable in one single day by a regular person with an app on their phone. I think that will drive down labor costs and make millions of people unemplo

    Really cool to see someone from Malawi actually chime in. I get so frustrated that, strangely, a lot of these conversations happen without people from the countries in question involved. I've traveled a fair amount across Africa. I&#x2

    I have a wild idea. Why not spend that money on providing good mental health and rehabilitation services instead? I have multiple close family members who have struggled badly with drug and alcohol abuse. Good treatment is the way, not the

    I felt this way before LLMs hit the scene. I'm trying so hard to pivot away because of this.

    I think that will happen. I think several things can be true at the same time: - AI Hype - AI Psychosis - AI keeps getting better and better until it can work around big AI slop code bases

    I couldn't agree more. I think the recent moves to partner with xAI and Amazon are proof that they desperately need more compute and are doing everything possible to get it.

    I have a theory about this, with no data to back it up. People woke up in the middle of the night a lot in the past because they were so malnourished compared to modern humans. (Excluding people in very poor countries)

    Yes, I really like this site too, but it's a bit outdated. "39d ago" in AI time is like 1 year outdated info.

    I make the same argument. I think we'll soon see a robot arm that costs $2,000-5,00 and will be trainable/deployable in a single day. THIS is what will crush most labor around the world.

    I agree. But I also think the future is some kind of hybrid approach where agents run locally, what they can, and then call out to the cloud for what they can't.

    Yeah, I just don't understand the thinking here on HN anymore. (My account is 15 years old) It was clear to me even before ChatGPT arrived that software was eventually going to go the same way agriculture went. We will simply need fewe

    I agree. It was still ok for most people in tech. Maybe rough for that single year. After that is was nothing but boom times. I can't speak to 2001. This feels like something much worse and weirder.

    I agree. This is what I keep wondering. Just go back to pro accounts for $10 a month. That would likely sort out a lot of this.

    I run an entire site and newsletter dedicated to showing fun things from across the web. I promise you this is not true. It's just all buried under a mountain of crap now. https://randomdailyurls.com

    The biggest difference now is that the tech and scale are here now. The prices are dropping like a rock for grid storage, thanks to China. Sodium-ion battery production is being ramped up. I honestly think renewables will grow exponentially

    That's my point. While the billionares fight each other over who has the best model, this will continue for a while. At least, I think so.

    People are going to hate on Grok because of Musk. However, I do hope they're successful in making a powerful model. We desperately need more competition. I want cheap subsidized AI plans. I hope Meta finally comes around, too. I want t
