I have great scorn for AI influencers who brag about "one-shotting" things. Yet I have great admiration for the creators who work hard to build amazing things with AI.
I think it's a real shame that those who hate AI lump both types of people into the same bucket.

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

software engineering is so back.
> people are reading books again.
> every line of code is being read carefully.
> fundamentals are cool again.
> architecture and system design are back in focus.
> nobody is fighting over frameworks anymore.
> understanding why something works matters again.
> code reviews matter more than lines of code shipped.
> debugging is becoming a superpower again.
> technical judgment matters more than typing speed.
> engineering is about thinking again, not just coding.

“quality of life” is a scam that robs the player of video gaming’s greatest gifts: playing the game

the fact that you exist as an entirely unrepeatable perspective on reality should fill you with an enormous sense of possibility. nobody can create from the exact place you create from. nobody can see through your eyes. take that seriously. make something of it.

We already have UBI. You just have to be 62 or older and you receive it whether you need it or not.
We already have socialized healthcare. You just have to be 65 or over. Whether you need it or not.
You can have your property tax subsidized by others. If you’re 65 or over. Whether you need it or not.
We’ve been doing socialism it’s just based on the stupidest possible metric.

What I hate about the term "NIMBY" is it's not in your backyard. It was never in your backyard. It's in somebody else's backyard. Nobody is building anything in your backyard. That doesn't happen.

Idk if it’s just the algorithm, the full moon, or all hell is actually about to break loose and nobody is ready for what’s next. September 10th or like Night before Kobe helicopter crash vibes, right before Covid. Something feels off. But then again, Nothing ever happens.

I think AI risk is going to manifest in the digital/tech space well before the bio space.
This is actually good, because the consequences will be loud.
But it is also bad, because we really need the Internet and personal LLMs.
There are solutions but most of them are not going to be quick, other than aggressively shutting down AI training and rolling back inference hardware to the point where you can only run smaller models.
If we keep doing bigger and bigger models and more and more capable/high FLOPS inference, it WILL break the Internet

there is absolutely zero "job security" in a standard paycheck. you are quite literally one bad quarter, one new AI tool, or one grumpy executive away from having your entire livelihood completely erased.

Yeah it's over. The cyber apocalypse is upon us. Even if this particular vuln gets patched every single nihilistic terrorist, state actor, criminal, etc. is going to be pointing ever more powerful models at virtually everything on the internet.
The golden age of big business and government is upon us, brought to you by our good friends over at e/acc
