Someone did the cost benefit analysis and determined that staying in power for the moment takes precedence over aligning with the U.S. Constitution. To such people, the constitution may as well be toilet paper.

The problem is this: how do you make sure the outcomes you want are accurate, precise, consistent and reliable? Or if the results are indeed aligned with the outcomes you want. If I cannot guarantee outcomes (people usually get demoted or f

There’s no way to distinguish between zombie mimicry (learned role-play or scripted content) and organic thought, ie thinking resulting from quantum phenomena akin to that in biological processes. The only real test is AI agents that indepe

America has never been one people, one heritage. In fact, the Europeans who settled here did so because of inter-sect/clan/culture oppression and violence. The Europeans have always had issues with each other. The founding fathers

The only way out of getting weighed down by AI spending is more opensource AI, and that gets enabled by building more alignment, interpretation and human-intervention tools.

Realistically, the rate at which both MCP, and Claude products have developed competitors should be concerning for anyone at the helm at Anthropic. MCP was introduced in Nov 2024, and there are already at least 3 competing standards. The sa

The competitive reality confronting most global economies right now demands a 3% GDP growth rate or more based on the global average. But instead we have uninspired so-called captains of American industries who can’t find anything better th

Let’s get a reality check. Current agent performances are no where near that kind of threat, and it’s uncertain when we get there. I think people continue bullshitting in this domain because they’re worried they have no moat, so they have t

This article is just navel gazing, and commentary on a relatively recent phenomena that doesn’t have any bearing on how thought and life has evolved. What has truly changed the way we live? Agriculture, Religion, Reasoning, and so on. In mo

The U.S. military exists to perpetuate and enforce U.S. policies, and not just for its own sake. You can’t rule over ashes and bones, you can’t rule if you’re ashes and bones. Politics are the point.

Is it a victory at all if it’s not political? Then what are you trying to accomplish? These are rhetorical questions. The problem is that leaders or frameworks have not been able to adapt as fast as technological progress.

My issue with reading (nonfiction) books these days is that they’re essentially extended opinion pieces. While I am open to learning a talking head’s perspective (not everyone who gets a book deal is necessarily an expert in their topic), m

The article says firms are spinning normal head count reductions, following a period of over-hiring, as efficiency thru AI adoption. This was obvious to everyone who wasn’t high on their own supply. Now the mistake is comparing AI adoption

Data shows jobs have been in decline before Trump, likely related to reduced investments from high inflation and high interest rates. I guess I should add that part of opening up more funding includes managing other aspects so we don’t end

Investment monies have been tightened across the board, mainly due to high interest rates and the fact that investments in anything other than Tech/AI don’t match expectations of growth.

US companies have long been reliant on free flowing investment monies subsidized by the USG. Tightening those purse strings has reduced the level of jobs openings, including tightening of SBIRs and other non-research grant programs that sma

I am looking at the problem from a population and industry level, and so my apologies if I am not looking at it from the individual’s perspective. The first issue which stands out to me is that the world at-large doesn’t create enough jobs

I just worry about people abusing the term moral injury in the same way that they abuse other terms related to mental health issues, like trauma or PTSD. For clarity, this is a reasonable checklist for putting traumatic experiences in conte

Maybe I am wrong in how I think about this, but if giving the same prompt to a model produces similar outcomes (i.e., not exactly the same), then the final result is within a set of expected outcomes via the use of constituent words or phra

The problem here is that a GenAI model isn’t exactly governed by randomness as there is distinct information you can pull out in a knowledge graph (not saying there’s a literal knowledge graph here, just referring to what’s encoded in the w

At some point, we have to figure out how to work smarter, not harder. I am not sure working longer pays more dividends, but working better definitely would. How do you optimize for better work? It’s unclear to me how the answer lies in caff
