I don't know if this is sort of a nerds vs normies argument, but sometimes I think we get stuck on AI and not the simpler ideas it represents. Things are easier to validate in pers…

On the one hand I want to believe in spec driven development - I think there’s this awkward gap between code and not code that is the cause of the sort of “code review crisis” that…

I always find Superintelligence inevitability interesting. And the author dismisses George Hotz argument about supply chains and the way that in order for ASI to truly take off it …

I think I learn a decent amount from AI so I’m legitimately torn on this, but I guess an analogy I might turn to would be something like “fork lifts are great! But don’t bring them…

I was accused of being AI a few posts ago. I think it’s hard get the cadence out of your head if you talk to AI a lot. Especially when making certain kinds of arguments. I was thin…

I think it’s a maturity model question, and an individual ability question. And maybe an industry tooling question. Individual ability? Newer engineers should read and write more c…

Slowing us down from what? In the context of many other measures I think speed is an important measure. Maybe even the key measure. I’ve even written a blog post entitled “reading …

The whole LLM development revolution has made me feel like I’m taking crazy pills, and this is one of those observations. And, as someone who does a decent amount of vibe coding - …

I don’t entirely disagree with this criticism, but it also feels to me like - progressivism is the flavor of modern bad studio films, but not a cause of bad media. Like going back …

There’s something of a footnote in here that - raises a moral or even spiritual question. Scott says that one of the great things about superforcasters is that some people who regu…

> Why can't we have a red-queen's race where non-tech companies are implementing AI, but it's not increasing the total profits of those sectors, just meeting rising customer demand…

> How much do these models need to do before people throw their hands in the air and say, ok this is happening. It's quite interesting to me that your epistemology is basically "Go…

I mean he explicitly at the end says there will be a new era of prediction markets: "This, then, is my prediction for the AI superforecaster future: for basic questions, your off-t…

I suppose on the one hand, I probably understand what this means? But I hate when guidance is totally verboten because like - “Babies should not be shaken at all in the first two y…

It feels like Scott is taking the bull case here - but like “perfect” information will pervert markets in bizarre ways. As soon as the prediction market says “this path here has a …

"You can absolutely write bad Pulumi code. You can over-engineer it. You can create abstractions nobody understands. You can make something simple feel clever for no reason. But th…

Right, but if your real assertion is “we have no idea”, it seems you should point your skepticism significantly more towards the people betting $100 billion dollars that self-drivi…

I don’t understand the analogy you’re making, or maybe I think it’s wrong. This is the first time ive ever seen someone say you should outsource your thinking to an LLM, rather tha…

How is EFF asking to police or restrict users use of technology? The only thing they seem to be asking here is for X to continue to generate reports in how they use (or misuse) PII…

I’ve started blogging about my experience with AI. I’m not special, my workflow isn’t supercharged. I’ve just started writing about a guy(me) interfacing with these tools as if I w…
