There's an additional case that can be made: Businesses want to disrupt, but they can only do so against a stable current. The governments main job in regards to the economy is stability, so that business can plan,…
I've recently had an interesting discussion on AI usage by students with a couple of friends who are all professors or lecturers in different fields. They report that AI makes their job harder, especially because it…
Wouldn't running the tests in a container solve that issue? Or is that another thing that gets flagged?
I had an Ethics professor in uni who would ask his intro classes to raise their hands if they thought they were a morally upright person. On average, much fewer philosophy majors would raise their hands, and they would…
Not really, it is shockingly easy for what it is. https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.05566 This only really matters in a world where Prompt Injection and Jailbreaking isn't trivial in the first place though. All current models…
What is invalid about the claims, and how is the fine not appropriate given the legal framework Google agreed to work in within the EU?
I suspect that Grok has been ironically lobotomized by pressures to correct its political views. Similarly, I could imagine the Gemini folks working in a significantly more complex corporate climate, with different…
I would argue a different case: When AI is noticeable, it is obvious the person doesn't care enough to bother with you. I'm a heavy user of AI, but it has not changed the amount of time I invest in certain things,…
> In my long career I've noticed a strong correlation between SAT scores and academic performance as well as job performance On average. However, I've also had the experience that some of the most competent people I've…
And the soccer WC went the opposite direction, by encouraging scalping, giving it an official avenue, and taking a cut of the profits. Now only rich people get to enjoy a sport meant for the masses, yay.
Reddit was already heavily astroturfed before AI. There's no space on the internet where you can get as much bang for a buck with an influence campaign due to its centralized frontpage. The most obvious example is…
History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Drawing these comparisons to the Dotcom bubble is only of limited utility. I think there's good reason to believe that recursive self-improvement is a bust, and LLM models…
I mean if we're getting really serious about ai-first development, we might be able to get away with a ton of micro services written with clear, simple apis to communicate all in a giant mono-repo managed by an army of…
There's a difference in thought here so fundamental that it is hard to argue about details without addressing it first: You believe the individual comes first, what it produces is taxes hy the external construct of the…
I love their product and use them myself. But where's the value proposition for investors? Unless they get purchased by one of the large cloud providers, they will get pushed out of the market sooner or later. What's…
The fairest and easiest to realize wealth tax is on inheritance. It is great to want to give your kids a headstart in the world, it is terrible for them and the people around them to set them up for life.
The article itself isn't great, but it speaks to one of my greatest concerns about AI. People who engage heavily with it are falling in the behavioral billionaire trap: It is deeply unhealthy to be constantly affirmed…
With the rise of agentic coding, this has become a sign of quality for me in my own PRs and reviews: New features implemented in less than a thousand lines of productive code. When I'm working on code that was heavily…
Could you maybe in brought strokes explain what you are working on? I think it is very plausible that the disconnect is between people writing front ends/rest apis vs people solving things like graphics.
I tend to agree. Taking shortcuts are one thing, not daring to refactor along the way another. I would only do this in low stress situations due to the risk of producing new bugs or issues, and just lacking the time to…
Also there are still considerations like domain, team expertise, org ecosystem etc. to consider. I love to use Rust for most things, but now I'm working with an org that primarily has expertise in Java, and I'm not…
There is labor that is necessary for our societies to function, but a direct threat to the people doing the work. Someone has to do it, and it should be seen as a great service to society and rewarded accordingly. In a…

I'm on the 20 USD tier, and it works quite well for me. Basically I send one very carefully crafted task to the LLM per 4h limit, do a couple of minor questions, and the rest of the time I'm thinking/exploring/coding. I…
Networking effects are significantly strengthened by necessary user buy in. VC is hard, and every tool demands its users to spend a non-significant amount of time learning it. I would guess the time to move from black…
