I have yet to see a streamer match what Click and Clack did on the radio..

Which usually depends on how much money you make!

Compute will become the means of production

We just need the industry to catch up and start manufacturing the hardware we need to run this stuff

Dude, he's saying that it won't catch up because it's part of the new means of production. Compute is the hardware.

Must be different circles. I saw the swarms in Claude Code, Cursor and others as manifestations of the swarms people were hand rolling towards the end of last year.

I'm mostly curious why the resurgence because your post isn't the only swarm related thing that I've been noticing recently.

Agent swarms have been around and heavily used for months. It's odd that they're big headlines again.

On can only dream. But reading comprehension is at an all time low and likely only to get worse..

Theoretically they should slow down. I suspect people will be much pickier about which apps to use in production. Which, ironically, will be directly at odds with more and more products being pumped out..

People are allowed to say, "hey we make money off of this thing, it's cheaper and almost as good as the thing we can't money off".

Other people are allowed to call them on that.

That's not why critics make fun of them. It's because their answer to "oh no we're accidentally creating the godhead. Someone please, give us power, your money, and praise, it's the only thing we can do."

It's vile hypocrisy. If they want to be priests, strip them of everything and they can live and work out of a concrete box in a mid-western cornfield. Why the material distraction if they are so religiously pure.

I know these people and I can tell you they aren't close to as smart as they think they are. Do you remember Yudowsky's "math petss"?

Gatekeeping the public's access to models is "good policy" now? I suppose you think you'll get a dispensation to use Fable and Mythos?

Isn't most of the economy riding on the stock of these handful of companies though?

The entire essay can be summarized from these paragraphs..

Focus, it appears, is a recoverable asset that can be retrieved by shutting out the noise and leaving the casino. And that is much easier for high rollers to do.

Money offers the ability to buy expensive gadgets such as second, basic phones and “bricks” that can make smartphones temporarily dumb. But it also means access to resources that don’t look like resources at all: stable work, consistent schedules, chunks of leisure time, agency over how to structure your day.

I (well CC and I) wrote a tts/stt pipeline for the CLI of CC. It's a lot more, immersive I guess, when I open my dev environment and it gives me a verbal walk through of what's going on.

(this inspired some more demo-y stuff I have where claude can manipulate the mouse and audit things it's built visually in conjunction with that). I'm sure this has already been wrapped up into some MCP framework, but it was fun to build it super early on and it just sort of works for me.

I don't use this in my day job, but it does feel very futuristic when I pull up my home lab.

Same. I'll just close the blog. It sucks, I don't care if people use AI all day for tasks, but I don't see the benefit of injecting it into person to person communication.

probably needs an (AI) in the title

"slept and ate, and — I did think about this — a delete that’s careful to be idempotent, because deleting the same diaper twice shouldn’t be an error."

Well a lot of those now 60 year olds were buying houses and land in their 20s-30s..

This is sort of orthogonal to the point though, people who want those things (the author being one of them) aren't able to achieve them.

Plenty of fulfilling lives out there for any conceivable metric, it doesn't mean that the article is incorrect.

DeepSeek has the best logo.

It's like the meme with the dog.

Yes brother. This is the way. We pray to the line, only it can shelter us in these dark times of labor revitalization. HODL. May your returns be colossal.

Obligatory dystopia reminder. It doesn't have to be this way https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

They should just lead with people don't have any money to buy things because wages aren't increasing to match living expenses.

It cuts back some of the fig leaves

Nothing like generational debt to kick off a Friday morning

Sure, but we have the world we live in and Xi is just playing a role. The belt and road have been plenty colonialist, the african expeditions are equally exploitative.

The issue globally is consolidation of wealth and resources, we've got housing and wage crises from miami to switzerland.

"new historical injustices" is a banger.

It's a speech and attention thing. With the American accent you weigh the pseud part higher than the -onym because it's the downward part of the word. pseudocalypse highlights the -ocalypse on the upswing which detracts from the pseudo- so to maximize traction use both recognition highlights pseud- and -pocalypse.

This is a great read, thanks.
