Huang recently stated that agi is here already. I remember reading about drive thru ai but also it had problems, but if this thing is agi why are there still any drive thru human operators at all today or even yesterday? How can a "tru

climate change is a hoax, but it's also disingenuous to pretend like ai delivers even an infinitesimal amount of the value of either agriculture or mining. Global population approaches zero without either of those things and if you del

From various online estimates, i would estimate global ai spend just since 2020 at $2T. Some projections estimate that we might spend that per year starting next year. To the extent that many of these projects will be cancelled or shelved,

People will dismiss this critical-thinking shutoff loop as doomer conspiracy, but it's literally the strategy that ai founders describe in interviews. Also people somehow can't or don't remember that uber was almost free when

Inference costs are heavily subsidised. My point was that we've spent trillions collectively on ai, and so far we have a few new proofs. It's been active research but the problem estimates only 5-10 people are even aware that it i

It's only because humans came up with a problem, worked with the ai and verified the result that this achievement means anything at all. An ai "checking its own work" is practically irrelevant when they all seem to go back an

yes, the equivalent of looking at api spec and saying it's pointless because there's no implementation. I feel like in the last five years all prior knowledge and art wrt infosecurity was lost from the "dev community". M

Don't get me wrong I love getting 300 dependabot updates per day. It's a huge productivity booster and even if you devote 1/2 your dev team to keeping this shit up to date, you'd still be vulnerable to repo-jacking, beca

So instead of finally building an enterprise-grade package manager where you could pay for validated, verified and secure packages, we're going to vibe project management and let a slop-spiggot fill the trough. Brilliant. Incredibly pl

I think what's bewildering is the usual hypemongers promising (threatening) to replace entire categories of workers with this type of dogshit. As another commenter mentioned, most large employers are overstaffed by 2 to 3x so ai is mos

Standard msft absurdity. 8 years later there is still no local gh action runner to test your script before you commit, push, and churn through logs, and without some 3rd party hack, no way to ssh in and debug. It doesn't matter how sim
