>Since software is still a winner-takes-all market, the mass-production property of software doesn't really matter. This could not be further from the truth. It might be true if th…

Thanks for showing again that people on this platform have little to no empathy, only care about businesses and money and have no understanding of art in general :-) Shows why I do…

>Everyone borrows or steals from prior art We are products of our environment, we learned what art is by having other peoples art as reference to "what art is". So it's only natura…

I am afraid a lot of non-fiction is also AI generated slop... "Hey ChatGPT here is a checklist of some facts, here are some sources, write a text about this" Ultimately resulting i…

>Without an interesting human me art loses all magic to me. Thanks for mentioning this. I have been in so many arguments with tech savvy people who simply can't grasp this concept.…

My whole line of reasoning makes perfect sense given I worked in trades doing exactly what I talk about in a country with one of the most complicated tax systems there is. Prices a…

Everything you named should be included in the price you charge for a cup of coffee. So the money you extract from it, minus the cost you named is your profit. If you dont make pro…

Noise pollution is a real issue, even for data centers that is "humming quietly". Same for its energy consumption. Water cooling is another issue, given that lots of the steam a da…

Timescale has nothing to do with this though. You're Starbucks, you sell me a cup of coffee, you make profit from that cup of coffee, you pay taxes on that singular profit. What yo…

So I'll expect not having to pay VAT next time I buy from a franchised business operating in my country given that all of them usually make little to no profits officially.

>so it makes sense you don't pay taxes until you make back that $100m you lost LOL. You losing money with your business is no excuse to not pay taxes on profits you make after losi…

Idk, maybe some people get crazy productivity out of LLMs. To me, going deep into the AI bubble, reading about terms I've never seen before just feels like some crypto bro bubble w…

Many devs now work in YOLO mode letting LLMs automate their tasks.

Also people tend to forget that LLMs still just work on compressed data... Where are the MAJOR breakthroughs? Where is all the "crazy" AI output going? Software seemed to degrade i…

Willkommen in Hamburg! Was a fun read. Seems like you were extremely lucky with your company and flat mate. I know a lot of immigrants working in logistics and they'd tell a differ…

Personally I even refuse to learn what it is in the AI context. Feels like a waste of energy given new ~~~best ways to use YOUR tokens~~~ are discovered every month and things you …

> Tainter suggests that societies collapse because the costs of maintaining complexity eventually outweigh the benefits. “Collapse” in this context is more like a simplification th…

Ill check the book out as I am extremely interested in these kind of topics. Although I am extremely pessimistic. You wrote "the west", what system will (in theory) work out? And h…

Extremely likely. Humanity won't work out. Time is running out and we still kill each other over money and religions.

I prefer that over yet another AI blog post

Big AI player promotes AI through blog to make AI look better woo

This is reasonable up to the point of lawmakers suddenly deeming rainbow flags just as bad as drugs (Russia as an example). Your example may work in well intended countries but com…

A small example would be to set the device into "kiosk mode" which many companies use for their employee devices too. Prevent app installs, check what pages ur kids visit with thei…

You have a kid, you have responsibility for that kid. In Germany we have a term "Aufsichtspflicht" for this, which roughly translates to duty of supervision. Up to a certain age of…

Its the same thing with Europe allowing scans of private chats now. Nobody would tolerate a person opening the letters from ur physical mail box and reading through each of them ju…
