TL;DR: a webshit used AI. It was kinda cool, I guess?
These guys aren't aware of all the "impossible" problems Elon already solved. They're too invested in the propaganda about him being a big dumb idiot who accidentally fell backwards into a pile of 1 trillion dollars.
RIP.
Graeber was a confabulator with a very loose grasp of the facts, though.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
The city doesn't want commercial real estate values to collapse either, since buildings are taxed based on their value. If extend and pretend is ending, tax revenues are about to take a nosedive.
Person 1: give me an example of someone who was kicked out of academia for uncomfortable truths. Person 2: [gives examples] Person 1: oh ho! But those people are not in academia any more! They're not "practicing…

So, it would be morally abhorrent to enslave them if they were conscious, and therefore they must not be conscious? Sounds a bit like "saying the quiet part out of loud", pal.
My understanding is that the various anti-encryption proposals don't prevent the government itself from using encryption, just their subjects. So it's not really an "argument against" from the state's point of view.…
By turning the crank on the slop machine.
Well--well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you…

Uber's not really a good example because they deliberately incentivized their engineers to spend as many tokens as possible, which was silly. But even assuming that every developer uses the full $1,500 a month of tokens…
You appear to be assuming that frontier LLM models will be more expensive than outsourced developers. That seems like a crazy assumption to me. Even with current prices of about $1000 a month, that's still just $12,000…
You're using the future tense, but all of those things already exist. Google exists, Amazon Bedrock exists, DeepSeek's cloud product exists, etc. etc. But this isn't relevant to what the post you are replying to said,…
I mean, there's an "enormous incentive" for people to run their own data centers rather than using AWS. And yet, cloud is growing and on-premise is shrinking. While I hope local AI continues to exist, I'm skeptical that…
Outsourcing comes with significant costs. One of them is that it takes time to communicate with the outsourced team. For example, if you want to talk to someone in India, you might have to send an email that they read…
It's cope. People desperately want to believe that AI coding is going away so that they can go back to partying like it's 2020. So there's a huge number of HN posters claiming that the price of tokens will go UP over…
My point is that current-year LLMs are a better replacement for low-skilled developers than high-skilled developers. For example, if your mental model in 2016 was that you would have a senior engineer write a…
Because if I want a low-cost, low-quality dev, and Claude fills that role better than an outsourced dev, such people will "decrease in numbers" due to supply and demand.
You're not supposed to use it as a urinal.
Are they willing to work for less pay than Claude?
They don't need US crash or safety standards. Just get an e-bike instead.
