AndrewKemendo··on Highest-ever ocean temperature measured as powerful El Niño forms
I’m not sure if you’re aware of how much oil it takes to run a war
AndrewKemendo··on Highest-ever ocean temperature measured as powerful El Niño forms
You can’t get a more direct example of failure of collective action.

I’m not sure the human species has the capacity to actually coordinate behavior at the scale needed, irrespective of any future warning etc…, to be able to combat this

AndrewKemendo··on The internet is kind of a predatory cesspit now
So it’s the same then like my point is
AndrewKemendo··on The internet is kind of a predatory cesspit now
Now?

I’m sorry but I’m sick to death of all this rose tinted glasses crap about the history of the Internet

I got on the Internet in 1993 and it is always been a cesspit of bullshit. You could easily find child pornography online in the 90s and there were all kinds of scams constantly being tried

AndrewKemendo··on A society that runs on stimulants is badly broken
They were alcoholics, opioid and weed smokers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_abuse_in_ancient_Rom...

Also there’s absolutely no aspect of Rome that I would want to repeat

it was a bunch of pederasty, slavery and overall horrific conditions for almost everybody

AndrewKemendo··on U.S. sanctions against the A/I Collective
I already agreed he has great integrity you’re just proving it further

Having values is expensive

Many people pay with their lives

AndrewKemendo··on U.S. sanctions against the A/I Collective
Your friend has integrity and should hold their head up high they are fighting against oppressive bullshit
AndrewKemendo··on U.S. sanctions against the A/I Collective
Nice! That’s genuinely worth praise
AndrewKemendo··on I Used AWS Cognito for a Startup. I Wouldn't Do It Again
Nobody is ever going to convince me AWS isn’t hostile to users as a filter

Like how scammers put in typos

AndrewKemendo··on U.S. sanctions against the A/I Collective
Seems like this should be a/the top level link
AndrewKemendo··on Humanity has the debate about AI consciousness backwards
All you’re doing is shutting down any inquiry because you’ve decided it’s not worth discussing

So why keep discussing?

AndrewKemendo··on Proton Global Outage
I’m paying for Proton enterprise and it is not demonstrating any value over the major providers as of late.
AndrewKemendo··on The turbulent AI era is here
Indeed, nuclear arms race was way more wasteful and negative
AndrewKemendo··on The turbulent AI era is here
I think it just sounds the best for the point he was making and it makes the point well, I’m being intentionally pedantic in this space

One of Carlins hallmarks was the way he fine tuned his language, almost never was something he said on stage accidental or improv funny enough

So it’s genius in the fact that it conveys the point perfectly, while being quizzical in its formation

AndrewKemendo··on The turbulent AI era is here
It’s not that big of a club actually only about 100,000 people max

Carlin is God but that quote doesn’t actually make a lot of sense

AndrewKemendo··on The turbulent AI era is here
I’m not sure what to say other than you’re entirely incorrect about all of that

In fact you could probably make a strong case that the US and USSR did NuclearMaxxx

It’s called the nuclear arms race/cold war and was the defining characteristic of society post WWII until 9/11

AndrewKemendo··on The turbulent AI era is here
It’s exactly the same set of questions and challenges as with nuclear power

Nuclear power is one of the most amazing magical things on the planet but nuclear weapons present a massive challenge to social coordination. So maybe we should sit as a society and try to figure out how to manage that instead of just freak out and burn all of our own faces off because we can’t handle complex conversations.

Why is that so hard to grasp?

AndrewKemendo··on The AI Hater's Manifesto
I got no beef

Yeah basically how does someone get to the point where they don’t die of cringe in the process of selling themselves

I mean “sell yourself” as a term is pretty gross

AndrewKemendo··on The AI Hater's Manifesto
This is a sincere and vulnerable question but can somebody help me understand what kind of mindset it takes to write something like this and not feel like a total scummy scammer person:

> If you liked this piece, you should subscribe to my premium newsletter. It’s $70 a year, $17 a quarter, or $7 a month, and in return you get a weekly newsletter that’s usually anywhere from 10,000 to 18,000 words, including vast, detailed analyses of NVIDIA, Anthropic and OpenAI’s finances, and the AI bubble writ large.

It’s so overwhelmingly clear to me that people who do this, get paid. So its clearly effective.

I’d love somebody else who’s figured this out to explain it to me.

AndrewKemendo··on Andreessen Horowitz is investing billions into a bleak future
You can’t ignore climate change
AndrewKemendo··on A look under our trunk: what's in our compute
I’m glad you said it because as a 40 something nerd roboticist taking a Waymo is nothing short of a miracle to me.

I mean drafting code on my phone with chatgpt in a Waymo is legitimately some Jestons shit and I’m not hearing otherwise.

Amazing
