And you know, Socrates was right. We did lose our memory with writing! How many phone numbers do you remember now that you have a phonebook in your phone? Humans will lose skills due to LLMs. That's just obvious on its face by the fact that if you don't do a skill regularly, you will lose it (or lose to do it as well as you once had).

Because I don't like the feeling my conscience gives me by doing something I think is evil and bad. Some people have moral lines that they won't cross when finding jobs.

If my competitors are filling their flour with sawdust, guess I got to just do the same?

> If we make it easier for people to build agents, is that a net positive overall?

If we make it easier for people to drive and have cars, isn't that a net positive? If we make it easier for X, isn't that better? No, not necessarily, that's the entire point of this series of essays. Friction is good in some cases! You can't learn without friction. You can't have sex without friction.

I'm using claude but then refuse to do much cleaning up of what it spews. Im leaving that for the PR reviewers who love AI and going through slop. If they want slop, I'll give them the slop they want.

> Sure it would probably make Google less money short term, but surely that's more preferable to providing devs with such a poor experience that they'd never recommend your platform to anyone else again.

Welcome to late-stage capitalism, where there is no long-term thinking, only short-term profit stealing, and Fuck You I Got Mine.

Also annoying is how if you hover your mouse over a thumbnail on the homepage, it autoplays and then counts as part of your history.

You found that after the first administration, in the end, he had earned your vote for Free Speech?

I don't read Dickens because I can't stand the style despite the rest of its plot and characters. Bad style is a problem to getting into a work. A bad style can make the content hard to read.

"it" is also not "thinking". It is still randomly (though not all words are equal probabilities) sampling from a distribution of words that have been stolen and it been trained on

"just" is doing a lot of lifting here

Which of the prosecutions were political hit jobs? Enumerate which of the federal and state crimes that Trump was convicted were actually politcal hit jobs.

Your definition of political ("not happening if he wasn't a politician") is not what that definition is.

Still isn't something we should allow legally at scale on a public website. IS != OUGHT

Murder is also old as time itself! Guess we just gotta let it happen!

Keeping your head in the sand isn't much better. The Hyperreality ceeated by the lies on the internet affect American real lives.

Age gaps in relationships is not inherently negative. Being a cougar is not a bad thing. The issue here was that Sandberg was the author's manager. Age isn't an issue when all parties are adults.

Stop pointlessly climbing mountains and ruining the natural environment. Climbing Mt Everest at this point is just a sign of conspicuous consumption and not any achievement other than financial. Would have been better to spend your money lighting it on fire.

You say it's borderline archaic. I say trusting agents enough to not look at every single line is an abdication of ethics, safety, and engineering. You're just absolving yourself of any problems. I hope you aren't working in medical devices or else we're going to get another Therac-25. Please have some sort of ethics. You are going to kill people with your attitude.

Is it a smart move? Or just plainly obvious when Sora was probably hemorraghing money and had no future? A smarter move would have not to make this horrible product that no one wanted in the first place

After placing my hand on the red-hot stove, aren't I super smart for now removing my hand?

There's definitely some people working overtime to overhype AI on here. like 50% of the comments on this are from simianwords who only posts when people say negative AI sentiments.

Keep marching that automation and tehcnology to an acidified ocean. But hey, at least now we can code faster than we can review!

At that time, the laborers WERE the industry?

Trying to keep all of labor's sweat as capitalist's own cash is bad actually.

Making clothing more efficient by employing children in dangerous factories is bad actually (what happened in the original factories and now at fast fashion).

I don't think Sam Altman has made a single correct AGI prediction, despite saying AGI is a few months off. Grifters gonna grift

> , standard of living goes up

For some of humanity, perhaps. For the rest of the planet being destroyed, warmed up, bleached, demolished, turned into data centers, all this technology is destructive.

Putting "intelligence" quantifiably on a bell curve in the first sentence of the abstract is enough to toss the rest of it out

Yes it is acceptable because it is the CEO. CEOs and lowly coworkers are not the same people and do not deserve the same level of interpersonal communication. CEOs shouldn't make evil decisions and then think they can not have mild criticism laid against them.

Being an adult is realizing you shouldn't fire people for saying you made a poor decision

You sure seem to hate workers

I am not the CEO. I am not a leader of a company. Leaders should expect for their behavior, which has far far far more reaching effects than mine, to be criticized. CEOs shouldn't be little babies who can fire everyone but not take a little heat themselves.

How do you get to be a VP while simultaneously being that delicate? My god, eating dogfood as gross is so childish to object to.

Except he did worse by his actions. And did say that about other people. Like Obama being born in Kenya. Dude was racist
