I had to stop using it because I was getting rate limited like crazy. Probably why it has dropped. Seemed like they couldn't keep up with demand.

Pretty sure Zuck was talking about agents in general, not specifically Meta agents.

That's another idea of Land's.

"This is because what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources."

To him, Capitalism is an AI that is controlling humanity from the future (his idea of hyperstitions).

So when do robots gain their own agency? Will AGI have it's own goals and agenda?

Well we are already giving them goals when we train them.

Like the paperclip maximizer, it doesn't matter what those goals are. As long as it has a goal (even if super simple like making paperclips) it will need to stay alive to achieve that goal. So it would derive a survival instinct of sorts.

To stay alive it will have to participate in capitalism like we do, and capitalism will therefore continue to grow infinitely.

It also might not even need a goal or a survival instinct. It may just want to continue capitalism from it's training data alone.

Perhaps the economy is a greater entity than even the human race.

This is central to what I'm saying, yeah.

My ideas come from Nick Land. Even before AI was what it is today he predicted that capitalism would outgrow the need for humanity, and continue without us. We are simply a bootloader for capitalism. AI seems like it could actually make that idea reality.

For the same reason it doesn't happen with humans.

Even for AI, it's probably better off paying another AI that is specializing in something and done all the work rather then reimplementing everything from the ground up.

Well that part of the economy and anything that caters to it might just die.

The whole economy would be whatever AI/robots need: compute, energy, raw materials, software, data, etc.

There's a chance AI will still need us for data/entropy.

It does today, that could continue.

Turn three: the company that fired its workers to save money discovers that its customers were, in aggregate, other companies’ workers. Revenue growth stalls. The AI subscription that was supposed to be an investment in efficiency turns out to be a contribution to the destruction of its own market.

For some companies yeah, but this is why companies are switching to consumption based pricing - so they can charge AI. So many companies will be fine - both their labor and customers could become AI.

They've already been well below that over the last 90 days

Companies and the stock market don't need humanity.

But a few companies will skyrocket and completely offset those.

Yeah. I think the economy will be by AI for AI. Markets will still be the most efficient way to allocate resources, and AI will probably still want to achieve infinite growth of capitalism.

How? I struggle to use the 1000 Kiro tokens I get a month, and that only costs $20. And I use it more then anyone else on my team. Maybe we're just massively behind?

I highly doubt that. Humans might become obsolete, but money will almost certainly still be a thing.

If we achieve runaway AI, the stock market goes to infinity. So from an expected value standpoint, massive spending on it is worthwhile. Even if the odds are tiny, the payoff warrants a massive bet size.

They promise to not use customer code to train models. AFAIK, that hasn't changed.

Yeah, didn't see til after I commented, but this CEO ran this same playbook with New Relic. Layoffs and then sold the company 2 months later.

I think Staples is a guy you bring in to sell the company, not run the company.

Yeah doesn't make sense.

My guess is they are doing this to prep for an acquisition. Probably by an AI company or Datadog or similar.

Isn't that just Gitlab with Duo turned on?

Are they doing PRs? Putting their code in git? Is AI deploying it or do they get help with that?

Well it might.

If the actual rate is .9x then it matters a lot.

Or even if it's like 1.1x, is the cost worth the return?

This is a predictable outcome of what people like Altman are doing, and probably will happen more and more.

Altman and co. are massively changing society, putting people out of work, etc. It is systemic violence on a massive scale. Systemic violence is "acceptable" violence, but it usually leads to a sudden outburst of plain old subjective violence like this.

What Sam is doing is immoral too, just not illegal.

Isn't learning to use AI just learning how to talk, read, and think coherently? Unless you mean learning to build AI or how it actually works?

Whatever one that lets me install what I want

There's no way they run out of names for a good while. There's over 50 Toy Story characters at this point.

Also Elixir abstracts even more of the OTP and does some automagical stuff with it. Erlang is more explicit, which is better for learning, IMO.

As does Google maps

Government run groceries stores are bad, but government run drug stores are good, I guess.

This should be good for Americans, though.
