tuvang··on I quit. The clankers won
There is a deadly game of chicken going on. Junior recruiting already stopped for the most part. Only way this doesn’t end in a catastrophe is if AI becomes genuinely as good as the most skilled developers before we run out of them. Which I doubt very much but don’t find completely impossible.

In theory, true. But fixes to issues like this are usually done on hardware level in future generations or very low level software level where most people don’t have the knowledge/effort to deal with. Resulting in our editors/games/job tools running slower they can to mitigate security issues irrelevant to our common use cases.

tuvang··on Toyota reduces price of new hydrogen car with $15,000 of free fuel

tuvang··on Why is zero plural? (2024)
I figured it is because most things in nature exist in multitudes, so there being 0 indicates an absence of multitude.

For example: There are trees in this field. There are 0 trees in this field.

Singular is the special case, similar to square x rectangle relation.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. This is an important nuance to my short reply.
tuvang··on Stargate Project: SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, MGX to build data centers
OpenAI has a very healthy revenue stream in the form of other companies throwing money at them.

But to answer your question, no they aren’t even profitable by themselves.

tuvang··on Someone is wrong on the internet (AGI Doom edition)
It's not even a dream, militaries are already many orders of magnitude more capable per soldier compared to the past. That ratio will keep increasing at an even faster rate with new technologies like AI.
