Yeh. Data driven model syncing machines will be what kills languages, software stacks.

All the chip world talk of single function machines and how tech is now energy constrained industry, means pruning the state we store; most software is software to deliver software.

Single function pipeline hardware platforms will act as little more than sync engines from models.

I mean it’s is 2025. Still write software like it’s the 1970s. So high tech.

Edit: https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.10668

From LLMs to energy models that transform electromagnetic geometry. Saving what’s needed to recreate cat pics and emails to mom. Pruning the tail as interest dips with generational churn.

Sure. But given automation we need a lot less labor than 100 years ago.

Some studies suggest (sorry am mobile right now, don’t have links) in the US automation has been able produce the average persons essentials entirely since the 1950s.

But we still were taught growing up to put on the show of going to work. At great resource cost and ecological destruction now threatening everyone in deference to memes of long dead laborers and rich who would often be able to shoot anyone that didn’t work hard enough without repercussion.

We do not live in the 1900s or even 1800s.

And how much stuff? New 80” TVs and iPhones every year?

We’ve been conditioned by salesmen who also probably didn’t produce anything but emotional demand. Sure let’s keep living in the Newspeak of the rich media class, and ossified politicians; we’ve always been at war with line go down.

Your same old copy paste “don’t rock the boat” euphemism is thought ending nonsense. It’s capitulation not discovery of options.

Sam is aware once single function factory chips start shipping, that are not generally programmable but generate system from already online models, if he hasn’t established market influence for hardware, he’s got no future in tech. He’ll become what Ive is now.

He aimed too high his earlier chip goals, but Sam’s trying to get himself a seat at the hardware table anyway he can. And Jony just wants to feel valued by someone since Jobs.

Ah yes, a sanctimonious tech bro reducing everything to a Twitter size sound bite.

We know; you’re scared of change because you have seen your lived experience and know you cannot grow a potato.

But you’re just a meat suit and your personal story and literacy aren’t anyone else’s concern. And that’s under the political norm. You prefer no guarantee of healthcare. The risk someone else will obsolete your research. Oo so titillating.

Fine, have it your way. Let us continue under American norms where I can give zero fucks your meat suit exists.

Fortunately for me I have generational wealth thanks to the building and auto booms in the US, and EE degrees, hands on building useful machines and technology. SWEs exist so long as open compute platforms exist and there’s no guarantee governments around the world will forever allow that.

Should you find yourself shut out of employment opportunities, thoughts n prayers.

Yes your brief firm comment surely establishes truth.

They see weekend warriors focused on their paychecks.

They don’t see coast to coast collective pushback for long term stability. Sure, America is big and pockets of tribal thought.

And so it’s unreliable. A hodge podge of asocial cults flip flopping around the rules every 2-4 years because of its distributed, async social nature, does not make a reliable ally.

Still not reading the room.

Yeah the usual uncreative answer “copy paste the Newspeak”

This answer is a euphemism for “don’t rock my boat.” Because if they ain’t sewing your shirts, you are. Your freedom from such is due to blowing Vietnam (and elsewhere) to a crater, fostering existing conditions. Not exactly informed consent.

The rest of the world doesn’t buy this analysis. They lived being oppressed by US military. They see Americans as the Taliban, not a great white hope Americans have been propagandized to see themselves as.

I don’t mean protest.

I mean consume less media. Stuff.

Take burden off workers in the sweatshops and learn to sew a shirt. How many new shirts does a person need a year? 2-3? That’s like what, a cold December?

Be a human not a battery in a Matrix pod propping up ad companies and Hollywood.

We live in a Newspeak bubble; it’s freedom to stare at screen.

Local culture in the US is hyper-normalized around money making metrics.

Boomers did all the drugs and lived. They convinced GenX and Millennials to Netflix chill, order grubhub and watch AI content

It’s so bizarre

Edit: this is what gets attention not blocking roads https://finance.yahoo.com/news/target-badly-misses-on-earnin...

What you need to keep in mind is once enough frogs are boiling things get worse fast.

No logical breakdown from an armchair is going stop parents with hungry kids.

This is the failing to read the room part I mentioned. Our biology is composed of biology not philosophy. It is self selecting. It’s biological imperative is select self.

Ok good you got some sort of Excel sheet breakdown. That’s just words.

This is what I’m talking about; American public is so dissociated due to economics that straight up ignores externalities. 8 billion people are the externality and it’s going to be hard for 300 million to ignore them and live in their narcissistic bubble much longer. Third world countries have rebuilt and don’t see the specialness in Murica or the point in sewing their shirts if they’re going to be so low affect.

Americans have to change not because of some philosophical position but because of physical reality not really caring about the excuses of 300 million; only half of which is cogent, and half of that actually intelligent. It’s not looking good, Bob.

Won’t be attending local conferences anymore.

My colleagues outside the US say that a big part of why they are bailing on the US is the public response.

They see France protest over their own internal retirement politics. They don’t see the US public protest over global destabilization through our politics.

It isn’t just Trump. The American people are completely failing to read the room.

So I am done supporting my fellow Americans as much as possible too. Enjoy your conference randos, but fuck me food and shelter and healthcare seem a bit more essential.
