Hard to say. They're much cheaper per pound than ground beef here in the Northeast.

I read your entire comment, thanks. But you didn't write anything about trying it. Also, why not reflect on the nature of fish sauce and the nature of tomato sauce? Does that give you any ideas about what ratio might be edible? Any con

It's not meaningless if you try it.

Because, for one thing, some people are shitty frauds, and they're not bothered by it. Those people see messed-up incentives as an opportunity. Do serious workers tend to get out of the field, if the incentives are wrongheaded enough?

Ok, again. Taxicabs are not exciting, not scaleable, and involve a lot of machines and humans to make them work. How many iterations do you have in mind for this? EDIT: My answer for "can a rapidly growing start-up successfully take on

Please! "Machines of loving grace" comes from Richard Brautigan, not Dario Amodei! https://allpoetry.com/All-Watched-Over-By-Machines-Of-Loving...

I don't think the complaint about cherry picking is quite fair. Most of your original comment consists of claims that we're bullshit machines, our internal dialog is almost 100% fantasy, we're hallucinating, etc. Those claims

Good point. We choose certain tests to perform. We choose certain test results to pay attention to. We don't just keep chatting about (reviewing) the code. We do something else. If lies are all we have, then how is this behavior possib

"Lies are all we have." If so, how do we distinguish between code that works and code that doesn't work? Why should we even care?

If a known-broken calculator claims it's broken, I more or less concur. (Chain of reasoning omitted here.)

It's disconcerting. But in 2026 it's not very surprising.

But, Doctor, the data does back that up. The US middle class is shrinking, and most of the shrinkage is on the low end. There's no mystery about this, only potential for distractions.

Can you give a few penciled numbers?

The article is professional.

Soooo many comments here cite the "overreacting" point and then go on to prove it.

IB may become important for US college admissions over time, but that's more aspirational so far.

That kind of thinking pops up very prominently in the article.

"Why can't faster typing help us understand the problem faster?" Because typing is not the same as understanding.

I think they explain "why" very clearly. They say the problem is people who don't understand their own contributions.

Assume I want to believe exactly what you're saying. What is that, though? a. "Has already won" b. "Might be a year or two, or five, or ten"
