I think it is likely your wish will be fulfilled, ai slop posts and spam emails for everyone, at a scale that will be monumental.

The bun acquisition is driven by current AI capabilities.

This argument requires us to believe that AI will just asymptote and not get materially better.

Five years from now, I don't think anyone will make these kinds of acquisitions anymore.

Yeah, my rule when I got started was "If I ever lose a lifetime aggregated $3000 in the markets, then the markets are not for me". Then once you're ahead in the markets, it's fine to continue trading.

(Note: I ended up breaking my rule by continuing to trade after losing $5000, but then did great in the markets anyway in the long run LOL)

Whatever you decide, be aware of the following:

- You will sleep 5% better every night from here on out if your mortgage is paid off

- You'll sleep 5% worse every night from here on out if you have 300k riding in the markets

must. not. go. too. deep. into. forth. rabbithole.

yeah, but it's so much cooler/romantic to learn the very first written language, even if other languages have advantages.

buy on the rumor, sell on the news

asahi runs great on m1, m2- but not on the newer chips.

M1 and M2 Macs run Asahi Linux very well (but no option for M3,M4,M5 yet)

No, I don't think bitcoin could go to zero- hardly seems like a rational opinion at this point to think it could go to zero (short of a human extinction event, or near-extinction event, or some other extremely remote abstract theoretical scenario)

Just give us a date/year/etc in which you think the value of bitcoin will go to zero

If you are unable to do that, then you implicitly agree, as pretty much everyone does now, that bitcoin has an intrinsic market value that will remain over an indefinite time horizon

I would want the robot to be programmed to immediately leave any room a member of our family enters, always cleaning only the empty rooms

It can't be true because it sounds like science fiction to you?

Everything about every part of AI in 2025 sounds exactly like science fiction in every way. We are essentially living in the exact world described in science fiction books this very moment, even though I wish we didn't.

Have you ever used an ai chatbot? How is that not exactly like something you'd find in science fiction?

Weak ai is a problem, but isn't going to lead to 100% human extinction

Human extinction won't happen until a couple years later, with stronger ai (if it does happen, which I unfortunately think it will- if we remain on our current trajectory)

I don't like straight displays, things at the corners are a different size than things in the middle, because they are further from my head. On curved displays, objects on different areas of the screen are the same size as they originally appeared.

Markets require property rights, property rights require institutions that are dependent on property-rights holders, so that they have incentives to preserve those property rights. When we get to the point where institutions are more dependent on AIs instead of humans, property rights for humans will become inconvenient.

Pure speculation, but I would guess people first mixed wax and lamp oil in different ways to still get the burning effect of oil, with less of the cost of the oil, then added a wick to help light the oil/wax.

Then eventually that product morphed over time to the point where they realized the oil wasn't actually a necessary component

Unless you do drones only on your private property, they are inherently a creepy, invasive technology (even though I think they're super cool and like playing with them, too)

But junk food is fun: Maybe we can eat junk food, have fun in life, and still be reasonably healthy, with the help of science

(and if glps don't work well enough to allow this, then maybe the next medicine in the pipeline)

great to learn from the headline that this tech only works for disaster response maps, and isn't usable for other types of maps, like mapping out the front lines of a war

I feel like the correct, boring answer is "they didn't focus on getting people the best website for what they were searching for"

> Incidentally, my 24th birthday was quickly approaching

What would have been hilarious is if he had said "my 14th birthday was quickly approaching" at this point in the post

Let's hope you are right, and that the limitations of AI will never improve, and that all of us get to live out our full natural lifespans without AI xrisk

Wealth isn't about "the best software tools"

Wealth is the time required to make great art- Every great artist needs this.

Currently, some artists are able to make a living from their art, and can spend the time and effort to create great art without being independently wealthy- but that is going to become increasingly difficult

because I predicted that AI will get better in future months?

As far as I understand, coding ability of AIs is now driven mostly entirely by RL, as well synthetic data generated by inference time compute combined with code execution tool use.

Coding is arguably the single thing least affected by a shortage of training data.

We're still in the very early steps of this new cycle of AI coding advancements.

Yes, independently wealthy musicians and authors will still be able afford investing the time required to make great art

> {In late July of 2025} all LLMs hit a ceiling of complexity beyond which they cease to understand the code base

Fixed that for you

sort of, except I think the future of llms will be to to have the llm try 5 separate attempts to create a fix in parallel, since llm time is cheaper than human time... and once you introduce this aspect into the workflow, you'll want to spin up multiple containers, and the benefits of the terminal aren't as strong anymore.

I was kinda pissed when my local mall got a "barista robot", and it asks for a 20% tip when you swipe your card
