Twenty years ago, I don't think any of us were excited about a future internet where we couldn't trust whether what we were seeing or reading was genuine. I hope one day we'll be able to look back on this era as an aberration, like that scene in Mad Men where the Drapers fling their picnic rubbish onto the grass and drive away.

Curious about this take, how do you mean? I understand the point of distorted facts, but what I’m not sure how things are improved by basically having no trust in any facts?
I’m not the original poster, but I think they are saying if we are more skeptical about what we read, we are less likely to absorb propaganda as fact.

I am pretty excited. The factuality of important events has been distorted for most of history. Moving to a low information trust society is something that I think will be positive.

I personally worry that what that would mean is we are left with little to no institutions to trust, besides Universities and family members, I don't think I would be able to trust governments and corporations, but I guess before internet people also weren't blindly trusting those.

Listen, I'm hosting this Telegram channel for people like us, where we can exchange free information without media bias, share the real facts and plan coordinated activities against these poisoning mainstream scumbags.
I also have a 20% coupon code for Wamp® Wolf-Testosteron for you, Wamp® really helped me stay awake and alert in these dire times.
It's true: Wamp, it really whips the Llama's ass!

There's always existed misinformation in text and in images. It's been possible to manipulate photographs for as long as photography has been around. It's becoming easier for sure, but it's not really a qualitative change. Trusting anything you saw on the internet twenty years ago would have been as ridiculous as it is today.
This is seriously underplaying it. It's become trivial to generate and inundate the internet with fake content (either for laughs, for internet points, or for more nefarious purposes). Manipulating photos required a lot of skill to make something plausible. We're reaching a point (if we're not there yet) where most content produced on the internet is fake.

Have you learned anything interesting from your agent ant farm?
A few things. I replied to someone else above, but I feed lessons learned from my social ant farm agents back into more productive agents. Memory recall: Lots of systems out there to give agents memory. I've used a bunch and written a couple. Storing memories is easy, but getting an agent to recall them, no matter how much you mention it in your AGENT/CLAUDE.md is a bit of an uphill battle. I've even watched claude m…

One of my professors at Uni a year ago was arguing that due to genAI we would have a shift of trust into established institutions/people, so government (I'm not American so I don't know if this is possible after many recent scandals for example), Universities, people with authority/knowledge, close family members that are trust worthy, knowledgeable and/or work in before mentioned institutions. So basically we would…

From the prompt it seems evident the envisioned user doesn't have an interest in designing the motor themselves, so why not simply buy a stock motor?
I can't put a 10 page narrative on how my specific motor should work into a hacker news post ;) you can also imagine the above where the goal is to have the ai exceed the performance of stock motors.
