    Do they still have any engineers? From the downtime it seems like they don't any more. Yep - the competent ones likely all left.

    https://damrnelson.github.io/github-historical-uptime/ Seems pretty conclusive. Very similar story when they bought skype.

    If you start to let AI decide or influence policy, it can kill people. This seems very simple to me... 1. Put AI in charge of health policy 2. Give it a naive misguided charter/goa…

    Isn’t the whole point that they don’t want you to use the website - they want you to install the app. Why would they make the website an enjoyable experience?

    Wouldn't need any of that. An AI agent setup to "Do the best for the world" or some other broad claim, and with enough power to say crash the stock market, disrupt power supply, de…

    If the human isn't ultimately in charge, don't be surprised when AI decides to eliminate humanity "for the greater good" or something.

    LLMs are as good as the operator directing them.

    You're citing a government report to support their position on why we need infinity immigration? Seriously? The UK population grew from about 58.9 million in 2000 to 69 million in …

    " Housing in Britain is expensive because getting planning permission is difficult. " Nothing to do with millions of new people arriving wanting to live somewhere?

    That's exactly how it was in the 90s really.

    Maybe you want to byte align some data, or pack to a certain size but keep compat. I think they're going to be rare cases, but I can see it being used.

    I don't think you can ignore it. It's the biggest change to tech in 30 years I'd say. "I'm tired of all this internet talk" in 1990s?

    That's like saying ban IDEs. Or ban search engines. LLM is just a tool that humans use to create things.

    Fun little game, but I think the questions jump context so much it's a little unrepresentative. It might be better to group things into "packs", which have more real-world represen…
