    Even his blog has the Claude vibe to it.

    How can you take the market for billions when you are investing hundreds and hundreds of billions? Amazon overtook Walmart and cloud computing, they have a solid business model, an…

    The planet has finite resources, least alone land. And then there is human psychology for hoarding resources.

    What if PTSD therapy focusses on accepting things you can't control and sitting with the pain? That's how I work through anxiety, and depression. I know it will never be gone, I do…

    LLMs aren't trading off anything. It's not like they make a decision based on anything other than what they are guided to do in training or in the system prompt. It's like saying R…

    Hardly, they are burning money with TikSlop, they don't even know how to monetize it, just YOLO'd the product to keep investors interested. Even the porn industry can't seem to mon…

    What has AI got to do with this? It's in the headline but I don't see why.

    This isn't about if LLMs are useful, it's about how useful can they become. We are trying to understand if there is a path forward to transformative tech, or are we just limited to…

    I was so stupid when GPT3 came out. I knew so little about token prediction, I argued with folks on here that it was capable of so many things that I now understand just aren't com…

    So you have two AIs colluding against you now. Who is holding the AI-assist to account? It's like who polices the police, except we understand human psychology enough to have a lev…

    > We will have aligned AI helping us. This is an assumption, how would you know if you have alignment? AGI could appear to align, just as a psychopath appears studies and emulates …

    We don't know if a supreme deceiver is aligned at all. If a model can think ahead a trillion moves of deception how do humans possibly stand a chance of scrutinizing anything with …

    I thought we were talking about state of the art agentic general AI that can plan ahead, reason, and execute. Basically something that can perform at human level intelligence must …

    Last thing I want is even more ways to distract myself. I want an anti-algorithm or something to permanently ban me from addictive content.

    "AIs are a lot less risky to deploy for businesses than humans" How do you know? LLMs can't even be properly scrutinized, while humans at least follow common psychology and pattern…

    At 3:07 I see an airliner with FAA navigation lights, wings, and a fuselage. How are people not seeing that?

    I believe that low power = cheaper tokens = more affordable and sustainable, to me this is what a consumer will benefit from overall. Power hungry GPUs seem to sit better in resear…

    Don't coding LLMs kind of fill this gap? I can't imagine anyone who isn't a pro wanting to spend time learning HTML when they can just describe what they want in plain text and get…

    I don't really understand why the author needed to use all those words to suggest t-shirt sizes instead of story points. All the stuff about breaking down tasks, watching a backlog…

    There is no way they can go back to engineering leadership. An engineer focussed CEO would do some spring cleaning and the board isn't going to vote someone like that in. It's more…

    It's all sorts of extremism, for sure. I found myself getting pulled into some of it over the Gaza war. It took me a while to realize what was happening to me, it was making me mis…

    Reddit is a cesspit of its former self. The OG reddit is far from what it used to be. It's no longer an innocent link sharing platform, it's a socio-political platform with so much…
