A robot is sprinting towards you. Do you want it running on Claude or Grok?

> It just seems much much higher than what it would cost to get a human to play 30 rounds You mean almost like it was super short sighted to do a ton of layoffs when the AI tech is going to cost almost as much, if not more, than the humans it replaced? Yeah, you don't need Opus level for everything, and sonnet has gotten fairly decent I'm using it more and more, but still for most tasks I'm working with, Opus is the…

It was perhaps a bit too long-sighted, because AI is still improving and often not quite there yet. Though looking at overall unemployment numbers (which are fairly low across the board), the AI layoffs are more of an anecdote than anything else.

#173DeepSeek V4 Flash being the winner in cost efficiency causes me exactly zero surprise. It's a monster at coding. And a fast monster at that. I use it daily and have been testing if MiMo 2.5 (non pro) is comparable. The nice thing about MiMo is that it has vision capability.
Pretty well, actually! It wasn't quite as good (at least with the coding tasks I threw at it), but it was so much cheaper per-token that it almost doesn't matter; if it screws up something, just correct and try again.

#174ChatGPT will sometimes completely refuse to answer.
Grok is essentially "lets fucking go!!!!"

Humans are slower and weaker than much of the megafauna we drove to extinction all over the world.
Yes, but we were smarter. We may not have the same result against things that are stronger, faster and smarter. Personally, I think the test for "how safe is Artificial Intelligence" is not how Intelligent it is, but instead how Artificial it is. Servers in data centers are not that dangerous to people in the physical world. Robots that are smarter, faster and stronger might be.

A stroke of a pen is plenty dangerous in the physical world.

Ah yes, no tech layoffs recently at all! (???)
Overall employment is limited by how many people of working age there are in the economy. When tech employment grows faster than that population, the 'non-tech' sector employment shrinks, and that's not a catastrophe either. Vice versa for 'non-tech' growing faster than tech.
The overall unemployment rate in the US has been basically flat-ish since Covid at around ~4%-ish. With some minor wobbles above and below that, but nothing to write home about. (Eg compared to the peak of 2010 at ~10%.)
Other countries have also not seen any AI impact on overall employment numbers. Apart from maybe a data centre building boom, and Taiwan firing on all cylinders to satisfy chip demand.

Though in any case, my point was that '[doing] a ton of layoffs' isn't necessarily short-sighted.

#177It's already sprinting at me? Racks shotgun . I don't really care what model it's running.

#178I don't really want the mecha-hitler model running towards me or anywhere

Has anyone done the YouTube research on what is the best way to bring down something like one of the Boston Dynamics robot dogs? 9x19? 00 buck? 5.56x45? 7.62x51? I suppose those bots would be pretty expensive, but maybe there is a cheaper Chinese knock-off? Seems like that sort of test would bring in plenty of clicks.
absent any target analysis, you would want to start with disabling locomotion by going for the legs. Navigation would be next. double aught to the leg joints could doit, depending on relative materials e.g titanium bot frame vs Antimony hardened shot. there is a cosmetic trend for carbine length long guns and that will determine the outcome for NATO rounds. the 5.56 is optimised for 18-20 inch barrels, the 7.62 for 2…
Critique:
> you would want to start with disabling locomotion by going for the legs
Aim small, miss small. You want to go for center mass of any target that's trying to harm you. The consequences of missing are...severe.
Which brings me to the addition:
A shotgun with slugs is hard to beat against a robot at close range.

In other words, if I were a CEO that needed to do layoffs, I'd blame them on AI. Because why the fuck wouldn't I? It's practically a get out of jail free card right now. The big bad AI is the villain, not me!
