Let me add further, I think there is value in separating people like Kurzweil (who I think is basically correct) and people like Paul R. Ehrlich who wrote "The Population Bomb" and who's predictions have almost entirely been

I agree with you the game is mediorce and feels like a single prompt AI generated game (whether or not it actually is) But, reguarding AI code ... a movie director directs others (actors, camera people, editors, set builders, ...) to make a

I look at it like this. I read the book when he made the predictions. Many of them came true. So those predictions were useful to me. It sounds like for you, the fact that they weren't perfect made them worthless and he's someone

2 things 1. LLM can fix this in my experience. an LLM, especially the more modern ones, have way more short term memory than most humans (or at least way more than me). They can dig through this kind of code and figure out all the edge case

Then what it was chained to is the real issue, not this one. The entire point of having webpages run in their own process is to prevent bugs like this one from doing worse. If you're claiming this bug is the bug that matters, you'

Maybe we have different interpretations of whether or not a prediction is correct or not. If someone predicts in 1999 predicts self driving cars by 2020 and it happens in 2030. That seems different than predicting something we see no indica

I'm going to need some evidence that Kurzweil was wrong. AFAICT he was right in 80%+ of his predictions with several more on track.

I think the price is beyond that though. AFAICT, there's not competitively fast image or video generation on Mac. To buy it will cost me $4000-$12000. So I rent.

I guess it depends on what you're trying to do. I've run a few LLMs on my 64gig Mac but anything image or video related is ridiculously slow compared to even old NVidia on my PC.

I don’t think it has anything to do with AI. My thoughts: 1. It’s natural to lose interest in things. I used to be into pop music. Lost interest. I used to game a lot. Lost interest. I used to be into various TV shows, lost interest 2. Not
