The critiques of AI laid out it Computer power and human reason are mostly still valid.

My issue is that I've seen some bad takes in rationalist circles that believe in functionalism, and consciousness as an emergent property of a sufficiently complex computation. Using that as their foundation, they've then argued t

My sister used to have hens that ranged freely, they seemed to be happy. I don't think you need to be vegan, just don't eat factory-farmed eggs.

The issue is that the answer if LLMs are conscious or not have ramifications for society, even if we can't answer it. Similar to how god existing or not has huge ramifications for how we structure society. And when there is no empirica

There was a huge demand for opium back in the days too, doesn't mean that there wasn't a big need to stop people from using it. I think the anthropomorphism that Anthropic is doing is massively unethical.

I personally find recursive functions mentally easier to write than folds. Maybe because I can never remember the argument ordering and the inferred types throw me off.

You probably have some sort of legal rights and ability to challenge decisions made by your government. If you're banned from Google? Good luck, you're fucked.

Maybe a drivers license should be needed to have a phone.

Today no legitimate institution exists, so I think open model are the best we have. As to how a company like Anthropic should act if they want to be the ones to govern it, I think it's a great question but I can't answer that in a

It's not really about who, it's about having institutions with good governance. I don't believe in technocracy/theocracy.

My journey was: Start off by clicking LFS among the links, and then "Read online" in the sidebar, and then being lost. I see a header, "Current Stable" but I can't see the link to the actual book. I only see the err

Setting up Oasis < https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis > taught me more than LFS personally. Everything being statically compiled makes it less magic.

I think Anthropic just have no legitimacy to being the stewards of AI. They don't have a good track record. They are a private company without any governence that puts my interests into the equation. I am not US-based, thus I can'

Opencode go for 10$ a month is fantastic. Just use it with Glm5.2-flash.

AI is only making the problem worse though? I don't believe it will help.

To me it reads like pure propaganda. Anthropic really wants us to think that they've made something sentient. I think that's really dangerous.

How does it compare to GLM-5.3 Flash?

I think pinning the blame on them is the wrong way to look at it. Its more a very complex system where each actor's behaviour affect the behavior of other actors. So politicians doing more is super important, consumers doing more is im

General public is weird because everyone, yet no one, is the general public. Fwiw I've started to see a shift in many non-tech circles I'm a part of. Especially when you take the time to explain the problems. Many do care, they ju

From the IPCC report, 2/3rds of all global emissions are directly tied to consumption.

Nah, believing technology saving us is full copium and makes us not take action.

The efficiency gains only make us use less resources if demand is fixed rather than elastic. Look up Jevons's paradox.
