Yeah me too, and it feels like a lot of people who are exclusively 'stuck' in language seem to think the pre-language part is somehow inferior (which imo is very misguided)

What is the lesswrong-crowd answer to the non-existential risk to working people? I'm way more worried about these guys breaking the economy in such a way that enriches them and makes me poorer, than I'm about any existential risk

yeah for me it's all about specificity, like no one else but Philip K. Dick could have written VALIS, it is so tied to his life and psychology. Its difficult for me to imagine something which is is build on huge amounts of various cult

I guess the bet is that they will become embedded in basically 8% of the tasks in every sector. which I guess could happen long term? thinking about the whole ass economy in this way always make my mind boggle so I don't really feel eq

bad guys doing bad stuff with the model is a worthwhile thing to watch out for, but for me the big question is mostly how these labs are going to make sure that these models will not collapse society. Like mass unemployment + ability to gen

Godot is such a nice project, I feel like almost every release brings stuff with it that is directly useful for me. It feels like the main contributors there are really on the ball.

I don't want AI to fail but I would like to see Altman anf Musk fail for example. I'm very uneasy with the power hungry silicon valley freaks that are running the show at these labs/companies. Hassabis seems like the only one

I really should get back to playing some more with raku, it was a fun experience the last time I messed around with it. Feels very expressive, like it will support any harebrained scheme you come up with.

it sort of makes sense to me, when asking a question to an expert in the field while you are a student. I would guess the successful interactions on average would be more polite . Like for example if you were asking a question to donald kn

Yeah Raku feels so expressive and lovely to me with the help of an AI assistant. I've only done toy programs and scripts with it but it is actually so nice.

For me how cheap it is makes it much more comfortable for me to just take it with me whenever I travel. My other e-reader is a Kobo Sage but it is so expensive that I'm way more careful with it. And I feel like the weight is seriously

This is so well put, and it not only happens on the user level but also on the organisational level. Where you can completely abdicate both responsibility and explanation by moving the complicated questions into the black box of an AI model

when i use claude opus via opencode/openrouter i'm sometimes suprised by how quickly costs can get out of hand. What are the costs of running openClaw, it seems like it would get crazy expensive crazy fast?
