@hollowturtle I'm surprised - do you really find that sota models aren't good enough to generate production code with steering and babysitting? My experience (Claude Code, mostly O…

I think his agenda / point is that, viewed from Lindy's Law, given the SOTA in 2026, superintelligent AI arriving soon is vastly more probable than not, right? To make the case tha…

I don't buy the math here because it seems to only model half of what AI coding agents do. The entire argument treats AI as a code-generation accelerant -- more output, therefore m…

AFAICT this isn't how SOTA has worked, ever, since the term was invented. So far (again AFAICT) it's always been: Centralized highly-resourced nodes can deliver more technically im…

> In 5 years consumer chips and model inference will be so good you won't need a server for SOTA. Naw man, you crazy. If you tell me that in 5 years, consumer chips will be so good…

I'm sorry but this attitude baffles me, and I think it's the sort of thing that will sound so silly in 20 years that we'll have collectively memory-holed it. If you're turned off f…

^ This. I get that We Are On The Internet And People Will Be Wrong Sometimes -- but I'm really confused by the amount of people insisting that a subscription is just a slosh bucket…

I don't get it - in what way is this bait-and-switch? Anthropic's terms have made it amply clear that your claude subscription can only be used with Anthropic-provided tools, not w…

I don't think the final evaluation is to "cement the understanding" so much as _verify_ that students have taken accountability for their own learning process.

Jeez this seems totally backwards to me. I'd rather live in a society where court records are as open and public as safely possible (like GP's vision) and we as a society adjust ou…

> The agent has no "identity". There is no "I". It has no agency. "It's just predicting tokens, silly." I keep seeing this argument that AIs are just "simulating" this or that, and…

I replaced my spinner verbs with thought-provoking Yodaese so my claude sessions are constantly making me think about my life decisions. Loving it. https://gist.github.com/topherhu…

If you're trying to argue that this snippet should answer the question of "what is Bazzite"... have you looked at marketing-speke websites lately? Think of how many different categ…

Wow! That's.... discouraging, actually, considering how frequently Claude ignores my AGENTS.md guidance.

Don't worry about this. There's no way these tools are going away. If this bubble bursts it may wipe out the incentive to continue this frenzied race to build novel AI, but ChatGPT…

This is totally unresearched, but my gut says it would be much higher ROI for Europe + North America to independently source solar from their respective nearby deserts, paired with…
