Tangential, but it's interesting to me that there are "Valve watchers", people who are big on social media for doing Valve analysis and kremlinology. Humans are so cool.

Ah, no, because how you'd use rename in this context is something like: rename("/tmp/foobar", "/path/to/real/foobar"); So, `new` is really `destination`.

Sometimes you can be in a situation where every actor taking locally-rational actions leads to globally catastrophic outcomes. It would be easy to argue I think that the July Crisis was like this: if you look at the incentives of each playe

If you mean: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/samurai-city/ Doesn't this prove my point? In feudal Japanese society, wealthy merchants were lower status than poor samurai, i.e., they rich could not buy politi

For every person using AI as a personal tutor there's a hundred people using it to produce AI slop articles, slop scientific papers, slop short stories, to checck out of living and let the AI do all their thinking and writing and creat

A corporation that is fully staffed by AIs and only retains humans for legal reasons (as directors, for liability etc.) still needs money to coordinate. You need to pay for inputs, you need to pay to run the AIs, which consumes resources. W

What evidence would falsify this idea that wealth alone gives you political power?

> Like the fact that supposedly the wealthy won’t survive the AI-pocolypse because the people will outnumber them and rise up or something. This is literally the opposite of what the article says.

Tangentially, this is why (despite being an extremist for privacy) I've somewhat soured on Internet anonymity. Very few people are using their anon status to further discourse, i.e. like Publius. Mostly it's just people who want t

Seems kinda silly to name such a huge project after a meme that will be stale in a few years, but then, this was likely all generated by AI, so it doesn't matter. EDIT: Expanding on this a bit, because I want this comment to be more pr

If the About page said who made it, i.e. if someone was putting their reputation on the line, I might be more receptive. But the website has enough LLM design tics to make me suspicious. It's sad. I come to Hacker News to see cool stuf
