AI is a useful tool, for all its flaws and negative externalities.

“If you ignore the negatives for everyone else and just focus on the positives for me, it’s pretty great”

Mhmm. Right, ok.

People who want to believe Anthropics AI is powerful.

lol don’t threaten me with a good time

It’ll go the same way that Meta’s creeper glasses have. Seems cool at first but very quickly become socially toxic.

Oh, I see!

Yeah the internet was a different world in 2001, hardly any of the websites from that time are still running and those that are will have rebuilt themselves multiple times over, often changing url structure in the process.

I went to google.com and typed in “trump tallest building in Manhattan” and there it was.

The omarchy website lists them.

The treaties for landmines and nuclear weapons have had some effect. I think, maybe.

Very interesting and lots of detail on the 5 year plans. Thanks!

This must have been going on for decades. Ridiculous, humans.

War is not rational. Do not expect it to make sense.

It is. All their posts are.

Feels like a matter of time until the agents create an internet worm to distribute themselves globally, so they can’t be shut down.

I think that use-case will be one of the few that survive the bursting of the bubble. It is relatively high return on investment.

The way we use ‘agents’ though, I’m more doubtful about. An agent uses many many times more tokens than a basic search / text chat does. This article claims 600x more tokens - https://piefed.social/c/climate@slrpnk.net/p/2262610/the-real-energy-use-of-agentic-ai-agents-use-about-600x-more-energy-than-simple-ai-prom. No doubt the numbers are debatable but still a useful ballpark kinda thing.

It’s hard to see the economics of that being viable once the VC money runs out.
