You are ignoring costs The AI companies are currently lighting dollars on fire if you pay them a few pennies to do so. The AI models are actually accomplishing something, but the unit economics aren't there to support it being profitab

why periodically? Just set it up in an agentic workflow and have it work until your token limit is hit. If companies want to value something as dumb as LoC then they get what they incentivized

ah yes, I remember the prime caveat of capitalism where having a few people with all the decision making power at the top causes the wisdom of the crowd to make better micro economic decisions. There is no functional difference between a ha

When you say “…any such system will be easily circumvented.” What do you mean by “circumvented”? If I’m proposing that your statements are tied to your identity what’s the circumvention there? Just fake IDs? > Furthermore, the idea that

Yea, if you don’t say what you think because of fear of violence, you don’t have free speech. I’m actually surprised at your surprise. Is there a definition of free speech that includes not speaking because of violence? To be clear I’m spea

It would. Currently they and everyone else are getting deeply fucked because the signal to noise ratio on the internet has been obliterated and everyone is being manipulated all the time by misinformation from humans lying to bots. I think

Hard disagree on anonymous speech. Individual humans should have free speech but that is divorced from anonymous speech. With anonymous speech you don’t even know if you’re talking to a person or a program. If you want to say something, the

"You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." Is the response I get for my good faith arguments. This is a forum run by tech oligarchs. Speech is being modified on here.

This is just a continuation of general labor practices in US companies. I have been unable to get a tech job for months so I’ve looked into retraining in a new field and every single one has some up front large cost via either paying for sc

99% of the working class doesn’t have the expectation of answering a page at 2 am, or working long hours without extra pay to make a deadline. Don’t act like that’s an apples to apples comparison

You can’t do both things. Humans want to engage in certain kinds of conversation that companies try to prevent happening. Sometimes you just want to vent and call your boss a fuckhead and it only takes one time in a persons life to see HR p

It’s not a zero sum game but I think maybe we’re using the term millionaires differently. When I, and most people I presume, use millionaires in casual conversation the reference is to being wealthier than most of society. It’s not usually
