Run-of-the-mill. Ya know, a normal perpetuator of war profiteering. I mean he's your standard enabler of civilian bombing. Simply an average propagandist. Just a regular guy!

Lazy, regurgitated take. House prices then were also 1/10 of what they are today.

You must really have your head in the sand if you truly believe AI will not soon be very close to, if not better than, humans at writing code.

I would agree. At least previously we could pretend that we were developing a craft in the process.

The system does not reward deep understanding. It's too slow. An analogy that I think helps describe how I feel about it all: AI is like having cheat codes in a video game. You don…

> I did not live through that era Then you probably don't fully understand where he's coming from, do you?

So true - same for me. Maybe because I'm older now? Not sure.

I think this translates to a few different mediums. I'm thinking about modern matchmaking in video games today. I used to play a game called SOCOM II back on the PS2 and it was all…

The root of all our evils, right here. We only want the fastest cheapest thing possible, without thinking about how it impacts literally everything else about our world.

You can have a fulfilling and rewarding career in tech without working for a monster. The mental gymnastics people do to justify their decisions are hilarious. Just admit you have …

Why would you accept this? Who does this serve? I want to believe the world is full of good people but I read stuff like this and realize otherwise.

Who are you protecting here? You realize a very small subset of the population can afford a million dollar home, let alone a five million dollar home? The majority of the city does…

Fair!

Why do people stan for billionaires? I don't get it - what motivates you to say this stuff? Most of what you said is greatly exaggerated or simply not true. It's like you cherry pi…

> Increasing the tax to just inflate a bureaucracy helps nobody Bureaucracy = jobs, at least. I'd rather that than having it concentrated at the top.

Crazy how many people have their heads in the sand. I'm glad you could think of a couple examples where AI might not replace humans. It's almost an entirely useless point to make. …

> These people are absolutely lost, with administration totally sold on the idea that "AI is the future" ... Doesn't sound that different from my tech job

> The single biggest potential productivity gain though I think is being able to do something else while the agent is coding, like you can go review a PR and then when you come bac…

Oh, the irony.

I've shifted my mindset to abandon this idea that humanity will survive forever, or that we should strive to live as long as we can. Intelligence is a scarcity and it cannot overco…
