Immigrants aren’t the only ones who can do low skill labor, machines can do it too.

But doing any kind of labor that a machine can do, is beneath your capacity as a human, so you shouldn’t do that job, you should do other jobs that require human effort or where the quality of human output is valued.

Technically you should be taking your stuff with you when you leave the country, and not assume you will just be allowed back in.

If anything, there are services that can deliver your stuff back to you, so this is not the big deal it seems to be.

Here’s an idea: reversing climate change. That should keep you busy for the rest of your life.

Taxing AI tokens will only lead to the acceleration of local LLMs, to produce tax-free tokens.

We must tax lines of code. Like property tax, but for code. Every year, companies (and individuals) must declare all repos. Have them appraised.

> Vague prohibitions on "disturbing" or "inappropriate" content, whatever that is.

I have prompted out a lot of disturbing and inappropriate content with GLM-5.2, that would have left other American models blanched in the face or clutch their pearls. I think this is mostly a reference to Anti-CCP stuff.

In fact, I don't think I've ever even had a prompt refused.

It’s not just juniors in CS. If you lose your job, you’re not getting another one. You better not quit your job without having a new one lined up. Many have had to retire early.

Flip the script, you're a greedy ASSHOLE for asking people to tip in this economy! Now it becomes easier to hit 0 tip. Even try negative tip, some devices allow this bug.

Harnesses really are the new 'javascript framework' aren't they?

Retail stores should also ban tips.

This is a bad thing. It means public services will ultimately deploy AI to respond to those requests, and people will be denied instantly with no recourse or human oversight, it will be tyranny of the machine.

In theory yes, but you would need LLMs that basically have frontier level capabilities but with zero latency, meaning you enter a prompt and as you type the prompt is regenerating instantly like some kind of autocomplete.

I think that would feel like crack for some people who are addicted to using or building stuff with LLMs.

At any given time, there are large numbers of influential people with no long term horizons, only a short one that is rapidly approaching. For these people, a good 5-10 more years may be all they really need. That’s why we need to invent life extension tech that gives elites more incentive to think long term, even if most regular people only live normal lifespans.

If I were 17, I’d learn how to invest and build financial literacy, and plot potential growth of my networth throughout my life, before even thinking about a career. Then smoke a bowl.

It’s not “circular financing”, it’s cooperation between companies.

Trees are trees.

It's time to get over the "never roll your own crypto!" bs.

AI can roll you crypto far better than what humans have built by hand. They can literally test things to an extent that no human ever would.

Our contractors are cheap laborers.

And just use C.

Because the term or concept of “AI Agent” existed long before LLMs??? Jesus…

Instead of decoy passcode why not have secret passcode to access your illicit data? Then your normal passcode looks legit, while your illicit passcode keeps data leaks, zero days, cp, state secrets, manifestos, money laundering, etc, and the partition is encrypted at rest.

Why does everyone assume people in the past were idiots? They probably would have figured out what this was for after some critical thinking. Remember those people wrote massive complicated software by hand.

Everyone always seems to assume everyone else is a corporate bot and they are the only true mercenary just working for the money.

I’ve seen so many contractors who think they’re so smart for being contractors and not loyal to any kind of company… turns out they do the same shit an employee does just gets paid 5x less, and when they’re booted no one really gives gives a shit about them. Okay…

Do miserable people not deserve to make a living? Companies should be able to accommodate their disabilities by making sure they are not around others who may be affected by their presence.

Slippery slope doesn’t apply here, because at the point the slope becomes too slippery, you can just get off and find a new solution. Maybe you don’t proxy at all.

For now, a pure JavaScript free site and a JavaScript-free-except-a-bit-of-analytics does not make meaningful difference to visitors of the site. The benefits of proxying are more important.

Why do people care? This is hardly anything malicious.

I wonder if just injecting a typo into each banned word when its used will be enough to bypass the keyword search for auto-banning.

Actually, I will just automate better prompts to put out 40 hours worth of prompting per week, but still working 2 or 3 hours.

There is likely no way to have a decent LLM fit in a handful of GB and be as useful as the frontier ones we have today.

Do they?

With AI agents, I work less, not more. The difference is it's off the books. On paper I seem to work the same but not in practice. I've gone from 40 hour work weeks to maybe 2 or 3 hours a day pushing some prompts. Someday, it might be 2 or 3 hours a week.

I wonder if someday we’ll have a “monthend”, where most of society takes a whole week off at the end of a month. I think I’d like this better than a 4 day work week. People could come back truly rested.

With the shift to AI, it could happen.
