If any of us did that clearly we’d be in jail for several years and put on the sex offenders register but when Meta appear to be hugely responsible for increases in teen suicide or…

I don’t think you can steal someone’s work if it’s based entirely off theft tbh, I see distillation as smart - are you denying it’s a huge part of why Chinese models are competitiv…

“isn’t worthless” is still to be decided IMO. Until you can sell it it defines worthless!

Do we believe them? It seems there’s no reason with the resources OpenAI and Anthropic have they wouldn’t be incentivised to build equally efficient pipelines? I think it’s mostly …

I think the article means the seahorse emoji, as we all know the unicorn emoji doesn’t exist.

I’m probably going to ask AI to break up my huge PR into a stack then with sensible names? Probably could be a skill?

“It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate r…

As with all human endeavours, as the tooling gets better the expectation for a launch/product/feature increases dramatically too. I probably do 3-5x the features I used to before A…

I think in theory this is true but in practice I don't see loads more good apps or products. There's a paradox here I think. I just don't see loads of quality competitors popping u…

Shorter is better. This can be applied to human communication too.

How can we measure if things are worse now? Potentially asking/training an LLM on news stories from different eras might be a fairer comparison than human intelligence at this poin…

No, you’re totally misunderstanding me, I don’t think technology progress is correlated with progress for humans at all. The point is only the post war period when taxes were 90%+ …

Which period of the last 2000 years was good for the vast majority rather than the ultra wealthy? And are these periods aligned with technology progress?

Doesn’t mosh require a server component? I don’t have the ability to control that part…

My god, the printing press was invented in 1440 when most people were living in abject poverty - it took until after WW2 for humans to demand a more shared amount of money between …

Looks great! I tend to use autossh as I have a need for these a lot with work and I have unstable internet!

China may well save the world with green energy but I’m skeptical to assume we should just trust them to share their best intelligence with us freely, it’s a totally different thin…

And this is why software consultancies always recommend a “Digital Transformation Project” to hire as many remote people as possible, all being paid peanuts and charged out at $150…

How much of the carbon stays in the animal eating the bloom? I would think while it's tricky to calculate assuming them being eaten is bad might not be true. Of course we might end…

There is no drive, it’s all orbital slingshots with current technology. None of the other stuff people are talking about here exists…

Probably more likely that we work out how to fold spacetime than we get there in anything like a high enough percentage of the speed of light - the fastest object we ever made trav…

No, I’m saying we live in a horrible world but complaining about the marine life killed here is like worrying about plastic shopping bags.. I’d really rather we didn’t kill animals…
