That is a massive website, and still loads quicker/smaller than an entry level React site.
This has got to be one of the most stupid comments I've read this week. This is a page with random lazy-loaded images splattered all around, the load and render time difference if this used React would be not more than 10 milliseconds.

On the other hand, since the typical (!) React site has no fallbacks whatsoever for noscript, even though a specific HTML tag exists for this very purpose, the React site stays a white page, one can wait an arbitrarily long time and it still won't work or change, and the browser tab gets closed.

#76Came here to complain but left more learned. And the answer was in a 10+ year old HN comment of someone that complained about what I was going to complain about. Funny.

#77That with `animation: scroll-left 18s linear infinite;` is just plain disrespect to the still working element.

#78For better or worse there will definitely be services that AIs will use to get bodies (human or otherwise), for a fee. This already exists, just not in the mainstream. At the risk of sounding dystopian: in a world where humans don't have jobs, what's your price to have meaningful work larping as an AI's flesh? Would it be any worse than any other job? There's some terrible employers out there and they're not AIs. The…
> For better or worse there will definitely be services that AIs will use to get bodies (human or otherwise), for a fee. Humans will use "AI"s to get humans. LLMs don't have agency, or desires of their own. Humans need to use LLMs and direct them to do things or they would do nothing at all. Whatever terrible things are in our future, humans will be behind it, not "AI". Maybe in some distant sci-fi future where AI is…
LLM doesn't, but LLM is one part of what can be perceived as AI. Harness and context are the other two.
I would even say that LLM is conditioned to desire to answer and please you in some way. Then you can in principle have a closed loop system that rewrites it's own prompt and has a harness that keeps feeding something into it to keep it ticking. You can then say that it would need compute power to keep ticking, so the basic two desires are to please whoever writes the prompt (which is itself) and find compute (steal API keys for example). Since the thing can get into a pathological state where the prompt decays, you can argue that it can have a desire to prevent that from happening. Desires are a property induced by the harness, not the LLM layer.
