> We are still in the gravy train part of the rug pull scam

Can we stop using this argument? Multiple Opus/Fable class open source models have shown the prices are sustainable with open models and self hosting.

People using these arguments are stopping better arguments from surfacing (loss of agency in workplace, junor ot senior training path, etc).

I don't think this goes far enough! Make the actually app store be the same file itself. so it's a living application and the file is constantly updated to how you use it. Copy it around, and you carry your data wiht you as well.

Let's go deeper. it's a webserver app + the server code + application code + db, so pocketbase++ where it's also the deployment target.

Then combine it with APE liek system, and the same file loads and stores things on every platform. evil laugh

Very cool hacking! My hats off to the author.

In complex systems, no one sits down and does this. It's the revealed preferences and aggregate outcome when budgeting decisions, or hiring decisions are made. It's the equivalent of stereotypes in organization behavior.

What reckoning? This is not related to tech elites in the least, but simply a consequence of capitalism.

If your think smashing this generations looms will get you there, your mistaken. See what it took for communism to take hold, and plan for that

we have to move up the stack.

Im intrigued. Please do share these philosophies.

Fuck Walt Disney

If you engineer a clean room process, it does not. Already proven with an open source project that went from GPL to MIT via clean room (chardet).

Humans dont need incentives either, we an abolish it.

And even with that fable would be more capable than you. You just don't know how to harness it with the right context maybe.

Yes it is. It'll write a better doc at any level for any task you may do. If you're not able to see that, you just don't know how to give the context right.

Your boss isn't shortly going to say the same about you? Fable is better than you at engineering.

I dunno about all that. For eg: I asked gemini who are the top 5 mathematicians by their contributions. It listed:

  Terence Tao
  Sir Andrew Wiles
  Grigori Perelman
  Peter Scholze
  Mikhail Gromov

Not sure you know more than the compiled knowledge of the world. I guess this conversation is becoming tedious..

Not ELI5-able (by me atleast)! It's essentially MBA level, or generally organization building as a topic. Pickup any of the classic management books (Andy grove's high output management). They can probably give an idea of how you measure performance in lage organizations.

follow through with that logic, understand how these people would coordinate, and you'll understand KPIs and why you can't just rely on "leaders inspire".

Great for a small startup. Now do this for 1000 people team.

You should definitely inform the wikipedia editors as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Tao#Recognition .

(I don't know why you're so butthurt BTW - neigher of your ad-hominem comments actually outline your concern)

wtf?! Tao is the only mathematician I can name, and widely considered the foremost living one.

Industry shift worth noting seems to be "If AI can do it, I don't need you". So all work available is - I can't get AI to do this. Help me do it.

Nice experiment. Looks like the camera feed processing fps is sufficient for some creativity here.

dont worry abotu community. If your intent is to open source, just put it up on github (ask claude for help on how). simple as that, no reason not to do it.

Flag the article and move on.

11k out of a million. I wish I had a project under 1% of "dead code".

That seems to be in your control to fix? I have been on this journey, but capitalism does not make it easy.

You're right on target. Indeed this is what it is.

A lot of the old world's benefit was the gatekeeping of (legitimate) knowledge and understanding. You had to spend a lot of time to grok it, and you could then exploit this for money.

LLMs completely kill this gatekeeping, for good or bad. And we're seeing the after effects. I don't know how to feel about this.

IMO, this is vibeable with tauri, with some reverse engineering of this. Worth a shot to oneshot these, fable and opus would chew through this and give a FOSS project I think in under 20$ token cost.

The elephant in the room is that the choice today is llm limits.

Tomorrow 2 engineers at 50% token time will change to 1 engineer with 100% token time for the same work.. the latter is too cost effective.

The retail account is about 200 to 300 dollars of api equivalent. Large companies disallow retail.

The proponents response is: Natural language (in any language) is much more accessible - almost 100 times more.
