    The problem with that is the squatters would just turn it into a low quality blog or something along those lines.

    They need Georgism for DNS names. You set your own price for your domain. But you have to pay 2-5% of that price annually to keep it. That way, squatters are incentived to sell it …

    Really, I think the long term solution is people's attitudes need to catch up with the technology. Humans still need to review code for taste, making sure AI is writing sensible, w…

    I think it's more a matter of "taking power tools away from toddlers." If you know how to work with it it's great, but if you use it indiscriminately it does more harm than good.

    You can get your coworkers to stop sending you slop (I've done it already on my team) but it's probably much harder to stop an onslaught of open source contributors.

    I understand the intent of it. It's really annoying/rude when someone gives you a pile of AI generated crap and says "here, you figure it out." Anyone can type these prompts now, t…

    The issue is that in most cities, most people are involved in the major industry or know people who are. Casino dealers, farm workers, etc. But there aren't very many blue collar t…

    Right, we could put ads there too. Who's working on this?

    I think it's related to the K shaped economy. The country is no longer being built for the middle class, which is concerning.

    In the SF tech scene they talk about this -- startups say they will put up a billboard for one CTO. I don't even think that's an exaggeration. I watched a YouTube video about a sta…

    Right now we're all training AI models on our taste. All of our chat logs are being uploaded, and the AI companies are training the models on them to get them right the first time.…

    God dammit I thought this was going to teach me how to cook a steak, not talk about AI.

    Oh the monetization made it noticeably worse. I've been pretty active in tpot/tech twitter and it practically happened overnight. Posters figured out the best way to get engagement…

    Of all the things you could criticize as backwards in 18th century biology, the choice of using Latin is probably the silliest. It was the language of learning. It's a practical ch…

    I think ~$200B is just for AI infrastructure capex. Fun fact: that's nearly what the 3rd largest military in the world (Russia) is spending on a land war in Europe.

    That's one thing everyone needs to remember. AI is here to stay, but the bubble IS going to pop. This level of spending is unsustainable. Soon the market will readjust and the amou…
