The world's a big messy place. You could do something like idk make a whole big mess in a region where they get most of their fossil fuels from.

The EU is not a state or some federation. It's like a NAFTA+ It unfortunately doesn't have the risk averse VC system (or pragmatic state driven like China) ecosystem to support the scaling required. But if models will be commodit

I've seen both variants of this where the midwit is enthusiastic about the impending singularity and where the midwit is saying it's all a bubble. Everyone's just portraying a strawman of the other side with new formats.

If you had a time machine and you could republish a claude generated article about some interesting tech topic to 2010 I'm sure it would get ok engagement. To me the issue is that everything becomes written in the same style pattern. I

I’m worried some of the people leading this race will try to entangle the institutional financial giants or even the government to ensure some sort of too big to fail scenario. There’s an unprecedented amount of money at stake. And the admi

Wait a few months and a competitor will release a similarly powerful model with less guardrails, if they steal sufficient market share Anthropic will reverse policies. This is why I’m immensely hoping the Chinese don’t stop with their open

Nah, I think AI has fundamentally changed the perception of the value of most tech labour in the eyes of the people running the show. The end result of it is that the average dev position becomes seen as dispensable, competition goes up, wo

The only thing that's really being enfranchised by AI is my stock portfolio. I was promised cancer cures and longevity medicine but all I got is a way bigger workload for the same pay. 401k has never been better though. College grads d

The same type of executive who will instil a tokenmaxxing mandate will be the same type of executive who decides layoffs are the best way to improve margins when the token bill comes due with no revenue to back it up.

I think people have stopped giving tech companies the benefit of the doubt, unlike the start of the social media era and the smartphone era. Both of those things did transform life & culture but mostly to the benefit of their makers. Pe

Extremely cynical take, but they're probably being honest. They wanna serve humanity. But maybe they only consider a small part of the population to be relevant humans.

It's just a classic noise problem. For better or worse people are flooding the internet with LLM output and the vast majority is not worth reading. People will focus on cheap "tells" to judge what's worth spending their

Cancer is too broad of a term. Some cancers like Hodgkin's lymphoma or testicular cancer respond extremely well to treatment. Some cancers are caused by cell damage from viruses such as HPV and can be prevented by vaccines. I get the p

If Yugoslavia had survived it'd have the relevance of maybe a combined Bulgaria and Romania today. Slovenia and Croatia were the most developed parts of it and would be burdened by fiscal transfers to undeveloped regions of Bosnia Mace

It's a general anxiety of where the industry is headed. Things like marketing, personal branding, experimenting are increasing in relevance while things like detailed meticulous engineering are falling to the wayside. At least when it
