Agree with the dread, but the point is often just making money so one can survive. While the jobs might be meaningless in an ontological sense, the surplus value is very real. All …

"Anthropic AI Leader Quits to Pursue Poetry" "I'm leaving OpenAI to build telepathy" I feel new a trope is being born.

>‘Tech’ culture has gotten very, very weird. It’s turned sour. It’s so far past the point where I no longer feel the joy and excitement and liberatory potential of computing. I’m n…

No, AI is more like: people do know what it is good for, but that's immaterial because hundreds of billions of dollars of debt were poured into it, such that the only glimmer of ho…

>The general way technology is deployed is that we try to find ways to make it work, because those are the most interesting. That's not the way AI is being deployed. At all.

That's bizarre. What does his manager think of that? I can't fathom keeping around someone that is basically a chatbot interface.

>Can't have been much, as the Chrome project is 20+ years old and LLMs have only recently become a thing That's not a great argument. GPT3.5 was launched over 4 years ago, so that'…

Okay, now how many bugs would have been fixed if Google had spent $130B (Google's AI capex) in human resources instead of AI? Just to have a sense of proportion, considering an ave…

That describes a computer

That was somewhat my first point - kids, especially younger, want things all the time. Its fine to ignore most of it. Catering to every wish of a toddler is silly. Unfortunately it…

I don't get it either. What's wrong with Terminal and tmux, screen or what have you? I don't get the whole GPU rendering thing for ghostty either. Its a terminal emulator. It shows…

>That said, revenues may soon grow even more quickly, if two conditions are met. The first is that AI boosts productivity markedly. For now, there is little evidence that AI is tra…

You're looking at it backwards. Simply existing doesn't automatically make technology accessible.

You have to be wealthy to have the luxury of not worrying about money. Unless you're a monk. Mere mortals don't have the luxury of not caring about not having a job or money Amazin…

I don't understand these comments. Are we living in the same reality? Do you not get the same interviews from the new oligarchy promising the end of white collar jobs?

Isn't that a bit like asking Why don't we all be nice to each other, wouldn't the world be a better place?

Welfare? There won't be welfare. Remeber that ubi was a bait and switch. The tech bro oligarchy already pivoted away from it.

That's an insanely privileged, luxury pov. Peak hn. Some people have responsibilities, bills, dependants etc

Anytime now, then cancer and all the rest of it. Just one more trillion gigawatts bro!

Thanks, I was unaware of that. After some research, though, it seems screen capturing by Claude Code is something you need to activate yourself. >How much time do you spend explain…
