“I won at Russian Roulette therefore it’s a safe game” isn’t really a good argument. If Claude is within your risk profile, that doesn’t mean it’s a good fit everyone else.

One problem I’ve found is that AI will happily document the most trivial of implementation details as *immutable product design*, making it very poor at automated cleanup. I have t…

I’d buy a Slate above this even if the Ford was cheaper, specifically for those same reasons.

The US sure seems to be speedrunning the collapse though.

I’m hoping for SNES style cartridges

Not just words, you’re massively multimodal! Have a little pride in your MeatNet.

Presumably the concern is that the profits are not fairly distributed among the people in that company - instead corporations are usually a mechanism for wealth accumulation.

Yeeeah, if the test on this site can’t say anything better than “it was created by a member of Mensa”, I’m gonna have to assume it’s a generally useless test.

Claude using documentation and comments as its personal diary is one of the most infuriating behaviors it exhibits. Half the time it’ll record some temporary implementation quirk, …

I find them irritating because they will link a source entirely unrelated to (or worse, directly contradicting) the fact they are claiming. The Google AI summaries might be the mos…

Let’s give Claude and ChatGPT each an identical Linux box and 8 hours to prepare, then connect their networks together. Last bot standing wins.

What these games need is a good old-fashioned Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill. (Though I guess in the context of these games, that would be considered new-fangled.)

Except prompts aren’t deterministic, source code is.

I have a vivid recollection of a crotchety old man in Southern California telling me “yup, this is earthquake weather” on a hot, clear day. (There wasn’t an earthquake that day.) I…

Defense doesn’t get DOGE’d, only programs that build up communities do. There’s always budget for more destruction.

And all of those arguments are entirely academic, and subject to change depending on economic status, skin color, or nationality. Law is effectively a weak gentleman’s agreement we…

Bad news, humans write silly things all the time. If anything, LLMs are less likely to make awkward phrasings than people, because they aren’t found in the training data very often…

Presumably in a video game the majority of the screen changes every frame. Not so in web pages.

The very existence of a “do anything” tool causes humans to forgo learning the multitude of tools we already have. I suspect there will be no next generation of software engineers.…

I think the criticism is not “we need to have better hardware that will shrink over time”, it’s “our algorithms are hilariously inefficient, and nature shows that a better way must…

Survivorship bias. Not disagreeing with you that these are unwatchable, but it’s a little rose-tinted to think that (non-AI) slop didn’t exist a long time ago.

I was trying (and failing) to do this the other day. It’s a really interesting problem space and I love to see someone with a more solid foundation give it a try.

It’s not about transfer, it’s about being practically irrevocable.

It feels like the last remaining promise of cyberpunk is widespread cybernetic augmentation. The rest of the genre is not really fiction anymore.

> Picture an LLM as a stack of books. Each book is a layer of basic computational units known as neurons, with each neuron in one layer passing information to the neurons in the la…
