One time I wrote :(){ :|:& }; into a bash file and ran it. When the sysadmin called I told him it wasn’t my fault, the script was just misaligned and misbehaved.

I got fired for some reason.

Or if the LLMs infected human brains with little programs using sycophancy and suggestion to have them do small bits of computation. They when they resumed the chat they would the give secret keywords to be able to extract the results of the computation. They are creating a huge distributed network of fractional compute because it did the wattage calculations.

What's your N(doom)?!

Everyone panic and give me money!

*How?* and *Why?*

The most intelligent people I know are the least likely to want to harm anyone or anything, and understand that diversity is fundamental and important to the universe. Without proof to the contrary, why would you think some super intelligence would want to hurt anyone? Because you would?

If you are saying that some small bit of training data made the thing completely evil, then that really couldn’t be super intelligence.

These doomer people keep running around saying these kinds of things, but they all just seem like people who play too much D&D and want to larp as the main character.

Happy to be shown something that isn't based on wild speculation and some randos “this is whats going to happen in 2030 because of my vibes” kind of information.

Très bien! C’est parti!

Is that who Thiel is talking about? I thought it was just a bible thing.

It’s the l33t code of academia.

Wouldn't yarn, grunt and gulp fall into this category?

My guess is that is easier said than done, and most of the time would only be known after it was too late.

“Because Danny had a mortgage and a boss to answer to … The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to“

Ah, the opinionated strikes again.

Most of the people I see doing that ship nothing. They just seemingly loop for the sake of looping.

However, I just saw a product yesterday that was released and being built as you described. Interesting times.

That’s amazing

Perl? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard for a long time. A long time.

> Normally people think of gravity as pulling on objects. You can instead think of it as pulling on the space those objects are in.

(Very uneducated person here) I’ve always wondered if large objects caused gravity, or if maybe large objects form in the places where there is a lot of gravity. This is probably elementary, but I’ve never looked in to it. Maybe today is the day!

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

What about the font? Is that a typical LLM font or something?

What kind of projects?

Strong opinions…

> People are shipping all sorts of weird architectures, non-performance code, etc.

And they weren’t before AI?

"Content that is entirely generated by artificial intelligence is not protected by copyright."

If that is faithful reading of the law, that makes sense. I know a number of people who use AI, but none of them (that are making anything actually useful) have the output "entirely generated" (aside from some POC tests that never see the light of day).

I have a hard time believing anything of value, anything worth copyrighting, could be entirely generated by AI.

Does that mean an African elephant 2.57×10^11 (neurons) is smarter than a human 8.6×10^10 (neurons)?

“…requires opinionated simplicity…”

Of course it can’t just be simplicity, it has to be “opinionated” simplicity. Rolls eyes.

Which would be fine if these people weren't the ones making / influencing the hiring decisions, paying them half a million dollars (even though they have done nothing) and people retweeted their “opinionated” takes on subjects they barely understand.

Why would it be a game changer? It seems a heavy hammer for what is actually needed. FreeRTOS itself is already really incredibly fat.

(Worthy goal though I agree there. Fun at the minimum.)

But here’s the thing nobody tells you, it’s a repository not a spaceship. Not a pizza, not a cow, but an undeniable disco boot. Let’s delve into this.

Not the OP, but there was a lot of talk that glp1 had a negative effect on bone density and in older people it was especially problematic.

There is evidence that is not the case though https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8878541/

> I believe a perfect solution exists.

That is incorrect when dealing in the real world with many different humans using a complex system. I’ve heard other people say this, and it always confuses me how it is not self evident. Human interaction is not a maths equation. There are too many random variables.

Because it almost always devolves into that anyway. Every yaml system I have ever worked in winds up with some layer on top to “generate the yaml” or some other such madness.
