It speaks to how dumbed down the human userbase has become that these kind of articles are even presented as insightful. "Agents" are not intelligent. they are pattern extrapolators. If you want a reliable deterministic output you

Good. These communities were inauthentic echo chambers for most of the past decade anyway. advertising powers "online communities." slop must be selling. Reddit died long befor gpt 1.0.

i have never understood this idea applying to all sofware. sure general research level software should be free and open source. business logic or specific use cases should not. The law is free and open source. Lawyers will not draft you a c

prime number based encryption is litterally security through obscurity at scale. nature knows no other way to secure information besides hashing, physical barriers or distance or time or noise barriers.

well economically recoverable oil is certainly finite in the world. it may take 30 - 50 - 100 years but if we keep burning hydrocarbons we will eventually reach a point where oil is more expensive than alternatives but that is not an argume

Yeah see the Nvidia china us gov self own. The assumption seems to be 1.4 billion people in a middle income country are dependent on 300 million for tech.

I wouldnt put it past the US gov to ban foreign models. they tried to ban tiktok. what is being demosrrated here is silicon valley can not withstand a competitive market.

The interesting thing is despite all that money the basic functionality of tech except for llms has hardly changed for at least a decade if not more. The reason llms are showered with money is everything else is stagnant.

I never said HC economy is not without externality. However I do believe forcing HC substitutes before nature (depletion) forces them may be a net utility loss. The evidence is very thin a little sea level rise and a little temperature rise

Funny, physics and economics don't just behave the way we want. The reason we use liquid and gaseous fossil fuels is not a cultural quirk but a function of energy density and fungibility. Each barell of crude pumped from the ground is

the problem is asking if ai is conscious is like asking does ai have a soul. it is not a scientific question and presupposes humans are 'conscious' without even defining the term. to me it is 100% irrelevant if ai is conscious and

Really is it conscious is a bizarre question. Can LLMs simulate the output of a 'conscious' system quite well? Increasingly yes. Is the nature of machine 'consciousness' different from human consciousness of course yes.

Perennial HN trope: all bad tech evolutions are management's fault. Engineers are flawless paragons of technical purity.

If search was frictionless then it would be far cheaper. People wonder why google search has been enshittified vs 15 years ago. If people could find exactly what they needed they would need far less ads.

The straregic importance is vastly over hyped. Maybe by people who want to sell chips. Actual physical feature size shrinkage rate has dramatically slowed from maybe a decade ago. making more efficient algorithms or architectures will beat
