Generally speaking (by theory subscription), moral evaluations of an action consider the state of the agent.

“Is this a good technology?” And “Is Sam Altman doing good?” Are two radically different questions with radically different answers.

It’ll only be available for the super rich, will expand to other augmentations/engineering, and will result in further reinforcing social mobility boundaries.

I also heard it as a light jab at his age

I appreciate the sanity check, but just to throw a monkey wrench into your model…

I think the square-cube law will bite you here. I expect power/mass isn’t constant. Mass grows faster than cross-sectional area which is key in muscle performance.

Kids certainly have the capacity.

Windows 3.1 had some BASIC games that you could run. A snake game and one where monkeys threw bananas at each other. It was a great “fuck around and find out” platform. I could write simple programs from scratch well before 10, learning entirely through experimentation.

A one dollar coin with a picture of a loon, eh?

A crazy number of devs weren’t even using EXISTING code assistant tooling.

Enterprise grade IDEs already had tons of tooling to generate classes and perform refactoring in a sane and algorithmic way. In a way that was deterministic.

So many use cases people have tried to sell me on (boilerplate handling) and im like “you have that now and don’t even use it!”.

I think there is probably a way to use llms to try and extract intention and then call real dependable tools to actually perform the actions. This cult of purity where the llm must actually be generating the tokens themselves… why?

I’m all for coding tools. I love them. They have to actually work though. Paradigm is completely wrong right now. I don’t need it to “appear” good, i need it to BE good.

That’s going to set them back 1.3 days

Rfk was trying to say Trump should get the peace prize for the covid vaccine.

So, despite all of their vax bashing, I think he’s still cooking that scheme and don’t want to pin autism on it right now.

Turkey did it once.

I’m agreeing with Pete Hegseth? WTF is happening right now?

I mean, listen to your gut instincts, which is that you’re being foolish because he is a fool.

If your system demands trust, it’s a bad system. If your system has a written set of rules that don’t actually cover your requirements, it’s a bad system. If the “tests” you imagine post-hoc aren’t part of the system, you’re just opportunistically trying to shift the blame.

You made a deal, set the parameters, and what… Expected the for profit company to ignore their fiduciary duty to shareholders to maximize profit? What is this, your first fucking day of capitalism, Pete?

His response to this is engineered to shift blame, and he’s coming out swinging because ultimately he is to blame. It’s barely more than a political catchphrase. He literally invoked “America First”.

I think that’s an interesting take, especially because it’s AI generated.

I think it’s fair for artists to depict their own experiences. If these were hand-crafted, I don’t think I could vibe on that criticism. I think it’d be truly disingenuous for a white suburban straight man to be creating art of the experience of a rural black lesbian.

But, AI isn’t an artist. It has no experience.

Yeah, I kinda imagined this was the nature of the issue.

Not really sure how I feel about the implied argument, though, which appears to be that it is wrong to create period art (or ask an AI to generate a video) which doesn’t include some (all?) negative experiences of that period.

May I paint the view from my balcony, omitting the mosquitos biting me while I paint?

I think the crux must be intention… Which is notoriously hard to prove.

Yeah, the article repeatedly suggesting it was a disingenuous depiction of the era, but didn’t seem to make any attempt to support that assertion.

I’d love a breakdown as to what specifically was disingenuous.

I mean, like any social media, it’s selectively showing “the good”, and ignoring the bad. Is that it? Like, they can’t (and wouldn’t even if they could) put the heavy cigarette smell of any restaurant of the era through the phone.

Excel is still doing the calculations, not the AI. The AI is helping to write functions.

This distinction is immaterial. This is like a big child grabbing a smaller child’s hand and slapping them with their own hand saying “quit hitting yourself”. It’s like trying to get out of a speeding ticket by saying all you did was push the accelerator… Truely it was the fuel injectors forcing the vehicle to an illegal speed.

Just because you’ve adjusted the abstraction layer at which you’ve ceded deterministic outcomes, doesn’t mean AI isn’t doing it.

You can easily spot check a couple examples then apply that same formula down the column.

This may be appropriate in some scenarios, specifically:

• When accuracy isn’t important

• When you will never need to justify what is being done to anyone (including yourself)

This, however, covers a decidedly small portion of professional work done using Excel.

Pilots are 100% on their phones in the air.

They shouldn’t have been on the plane and shouldn’t have been anywhere NEAR the terminal either.

Imagine the pilot’s buddy in the terminal texts him in the air like “lots of cops on the tarmac, wonder what’s going on?”

If their hand had been tipped that they were on the plane or on the ground, there is a real chance that everyone on that plane would die.

It’s the most consistent play in Russian politics. Since Lennin anyways.

This is why as much as I appreciate the philanthropy of the ultra wealthy, it’s NOT a substitute for taxation

Guess we doin rockets now
