Not wrong… But also sounds a lot like communism (the people own the means of production and all that). So it might be a bit too radical for the US.

So their chatbot is able to change the email address used to recover an account? I guess, they vibe coded that system.

I thought, LLMs would never become able to write code. And now, I use Claude Code as the always available senior on coke.
LLMs have a reliability problem. If that gets solved somehow, they can actually drive a worker bot - or a terminator.

And the big money pits also don’t only do LLMs. Those just get all the press because they are usable by normal users right now. Of course, some of those money pits are just investor scams. It’s a fully corrupted society after all.

Yes, society will adapt. If it doesn’t, civil war will force it to. There is no way that 90% of the population of an industrialized nation with a second amendment will just watch their children starve to death because some rich guy sits on food he can’t sell because no one has any money.

The thing, western governments fear is AI-powered terminators. They want the tech first, so they can win the war when someone attacks them. That is the arms race part.

The unemployment explosion is obviously also happening. But that’s actually a pretty good thing in the long run as a society with 90% unemployment and the need to work to live is absolutely unsustainable. AI will basically force the end of capitalism by increasing the system’s volatility until it adapts.

AI will eventually enable a society without wage slavery. Everyone will have enough and some extra. No one will need to work.
And there literally is no other option to get a society without the need to work. AI really is the only way.

That will not work long-term. When prices are high for a long time, it becomes more and more attractive for governments to start their own foundries for economic and strategic reasons. And while that is not easy, China is on its way, ASML and Zeiss actually are European companies, and no one starts at zero because there are a ton of patents which already expired or expire soon.
A fully industrialized nation which really wants to make chips can make chips. Making the best chips is pretty darn hard, but making the chips from a few years ago is doable for China and the US right now, and the EU in ten years.
On a bloc level it makes sense to have your own foundries independent of foreign influence just for military and infrastructure reasons alone.

The US profits a lot from having so many waterways. When they are usable, they literally are the cheapest and most efficient mode of transportation.

I guess, California is killing Windows without knowing.

In my experience with Claude Code Opus, analyzing or generating files eats the most tokens while thinking is actually surprisingly cheap. I guess, the token-counting is somewhat wrong on purpose to incentivize use of high-effort thinking mode because when you incentivize using lesser models or modes, people get disappointed by the output quality and stop using the service…
So just let it analyze the code base for flaws and bugs in a loop using lots of sub agents for each type of bug or code smell.

The good thing about that method is that it is technically malicious compliance; but it also offers a high degree of plausible deniability and likely yields some actual bug fixes to offer as justification.

Doing it just once every once in a while without fanning out into tons of agents rereading the same files is the non-malicious-compliance way of using AI for bug hunting and usually worth it. Also let it write tests for the found bugs (and properly review those tests using the natural neural network in your head).

You can’t even properly review the result of burning 4.5k in tokens with just a single senior dev.
The real limit still is how much high-skilled natural neural compute you got to make sure that the AI output is actually any good.

Still Pervitin®. It was good enough for the Blitzkrieg. It will be good enough for the revolution.

Pervitin® is better for boring housework.

It’s Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.

Trump already won that war 20 times. So it’s probably all fine.

It’s called entry-level for a reason. Back in my days, you could start such a position without any formal education as long as you were willing to acquire the required skills and knowledge without needing a nanny. We had to go to the library or actually buy the books for knowledge. Now they can just use the internet.
The actual requirement for doing the job never changed. And it’s not knowledge.

Nah, AI isn’t that good. When you don’t properly review every single line twice, you get the most absurd bullshit you’ve ever seen.
I use Claude Code Opus daily btw.

They literally have a direct railway to North Korea. So if they can fit it on a flatbed wagon, they can send it per rail (oddly enough, they don’t seem to have a road connection).
Guess, it didn’t fit or is some old thing, the Russians really don’t care much about.

There are a lot of more or less covert operations going on against shipping right now. Someone even decapitated Iran’s government and since then the Strait of Hormuz is sort-of closed…

Computing was never as great as it is now. Never before did we have so much free open source software at such a high level of quality to use and tinker with. Never before was it this easy to find help for the most obscure problems. Never before was playing on Linux a viable option.

But online and offline social networking really got enshittified a lot. 3rd spaces online like offline are fully commercialized. Online, everything is remembered and if it can be used against you, it will be used against you either by the government or some rando just because they can.
But you can use a VPN and as many pseudonyms as you need to properly separate your community-specific personas. And if you live in a city of religious fanatics, the internet also is a great to find like-minded people. There are communities for everything.

I don’t think tech levels even matter in the discussion about whether the native american genocide was justified.
