amelius··on AI Makes Me Sad
Right now it might be amazing, but what if AI becomes exponentially smarter?

> I keep thinking it would be interesting to do a series of interviews with software engineers on how they’re dealing with this change.

Beware of survivor bias though.

amelius··on AI Makes Me Sad
> Just because the job becomes obsolete doesn't mean the employee has to. Some employees have adapted to different jobs and roles many times in their careers.

But that employee will be on a treadmill and has to reinvent themselves in an ever-increasing pace because the AI is continuously hunting for their job, and its ambitions are growing exponentially.

amelius··on Mozilla shutting down Solo AI website creator
Makes me wonder: how long until we can replace the entire internet by a local AI and nobody would notice?

Like a kind of super-Turing test.

Ok, but will you be able to understand the code?
amelius··on Effect 4.0

You forgot about Python.
amelius··on FTC is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies over product risks
The problem with this approach is that the law will always be lagging behind. It is not fair to change the rules during the game.

Therefore, the only solution is to ensure people act according to the spirit of the law, not the actual law.

If you talk about "fair competition" then "fair" also applies to how the law works. If one party is always one step ahead, then that is not fair.

The law doesn't matter, it was not made for this. Let a judge make their own interpretation. If you talk about level playing fields, then you should act like it. Not allow VCs to make piles of money to put everybody else out of business.

If this is not unfair competition, then what is?

I don't think so. But maybe your definition of fair competition is more narrow than mine.

> So it’s hard to argue that they’re going to drive everyone else out of the market with their pricing.

Eh, their AI is going to put millions of people out of a job ...

amelius··on FTC is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies over product risks
They should be investigating them because of massively selling below cost price.

How is this a fair, level, playing field, U.S.? Making a large pile of money to put millions of people out of a job, it warrants some investigations!
