I find it interesting that only a few days ago you were arguing that oil is very important because EVs are too expensive and nobody can afford them. So is America rich or poor? Because Europeans, that you claim to be dirt poor, can afford E

We have the same problem in the rest of tech, though? Being unable to get into a AAA studio is as unfair as being unable to get into FAANG. This just brings game development in line with other code monkeys. Top studios will pay top dollars,

We are very well past the point where technology could allow post-scarcity. Post-scarcity is no longer technological problem, it's a political one. But it's still very much a problem, so no, we are not anywhere near post-scarcit

Star Trek might not show exactly how we got there, but they did put a lot of emphasis that humanity had to almost destroy itself before getting there. WWIII lasted 25 years and it took another 100 years to rebuild after that. WWIII in unive

There is still a risk of supply-chain attack. People give LLMs direct access to their entire infrastructure via tools, and never check the code produced. It's not difficult to steer an LLM during training so that they'd output mal

Organ donation saves lives at no cost to you (because at this point you're dead). It's unclear if my private data being used for training has a cost to me, but I'm giving posthog money already. They shouldn't double dip.
