Fortunately I’m at a startup with basically infinite Fable 5, and it is legitimately a huge step forward over Opus 4.8. Would recommend. Hopefully some open weight models catch up …

I think there is a lot of dev cope in this thread. My workflow is very simple: 1. develop requirements for code change 2. take manual notes for implementation, maybe use LLM for so…

Speak for yourself. Copilot took my job and my wife

All of this AGI/singularity stuff is quite literally science fiction, so it can be whatever OP wants it to be.

How is this sea-lioning? The evidence being requested is highly pertinent to the discussion.

What does it feel like to be a real-life mad scientist?

Can't fathom why this doesn't have more attention. Really cool project. Also, big fan of the landing page design. Great stuff.

And apparently they took place on subsequent April Fools Days -- 77' and 78'. Must have been a golden era for pranking.

A melancholic and romantic but ultimately useless perspective. It is impossible to know, with certainty, if any decision is the best one because we only live one life. We can make …

Not necessarily, you could just tax based on weight thresholds, established in legislation, in the same way you could ban vehicles based on the same factors.

"fixing the problem" would mean banning these vehicles, which is politically impossible. I think the most practical solution will be to take all of the externalized costs of these …

Dark Forest theory of the internet in practice.

I have a modest proposal to end all time-zones forever: the fractalizing time grid. Currently, partly due to a historical legacy of railroads, time-zones are longitudinal. That is,…

Argument is invalid; r > g.

You're right that emissions-per-capita in Western countries are unsustainable, and that consumer demand is out of step with the true cost of fuel, meat, etc. But how exactly would …

Having kids was, effectively, not really a decision until the mid-20th century. Would you say that all of your ancestors, prior to your parents, were utterly irresponsible?

You're drawing connections, but you're not making concrete arguments. Perhaps China and the West will both face population collapse. The argument still stands that Western values (…
