Copyright is what stops someone from copy+pasting a book that took years to write, then selling it $1 cheaper than the original author on Amazon or whatever and making a margin 1 million percent higher than the original author.

Imagine a society without copyright… only physically intensive jobs could make money because everything else would be pirated, ripped-off or free. Thus, only those who are financially independent could afford to publish. Because the world really needs more rich class propaganda…

Yep this is an AI subversion technique for sure. Put the message to the humans in the first frame, and the message to the AI in the final frame.

This is how we defeat skynet: by sending each other pictures of cats.

I’ve bought Minecraft like 5 times in my lifetime at this point if you could the multiple times I bought the OG version and lost access, then Microsoft accounts, then console versions… probably spent $150 buying Minecraft over and over

The biggest trap is thinking something has to be perfect to be done. Imperfect or untested things can also be done. Call them AS-IS if you need to label it.

If you lend without expecting repayment, it’s charity. Here he encourages people to lend money to people who cannot pay them back (ie to poor people to clear their debt) and he will personally pay you back. Luke 14:12-14, Matt 25:34-46; the latter explains someone’s obligation to help someone in dire need.

The law against charging interest was under Moses’ law so it was abolished along with the rest when Jesus died. Useful principles added, covering not interest specifically, but condemning greed (which is foundational to late stage capitalism…); 1 Tim 6:10, Matt 6:24

It’s not like people don’t know the references, they just don’t want to engage in a public argument with you.

Old Testament: Lev 18:22, Gen 19:1-7, Judges 19:22-23, Jude 7:7

New Testament: 1 Cor 6:9, Romans 1:26-27

And your accusation about Hypocrisy in eating pork etc:

Laws of Moses superseded: Gal 3:23-25, Romans 10:4, Col 2:14, Col 2:16-17, Romans 6:14-15

by New Testament principles: Acts 15:28,29 and Acts 10:9-16

Hey stranger, welcome to 2026. It’s somewhat different to what you’re used to in 2035. We do things differently here.

This stuff is a nightmare for new manufacturers and is usually lobbied-for by large OEMs or to keep startups out of the market or as a patent trap

The most recent regulatory disaster that blew up a bunch of startups was mandatory lane keep assist for trucks in overseas western markets, which meant all new startups needed fancy steering racks which are very much not off-the-shelf, and it virtually tripled the cost of the software stack too

I don’t think this is true. All the models prior to Fable were honestly dumb as rocks, and Fable is too sometimes, but at least it’s helpful now and not a hindrance.

The future of AI most definitely involves making something twice as good as Fable that is virtually its own employee, and not on reducing inference costs because to be honest Fable isn't actually that expensive.

The real utility behind an AI model (imagining that it can be made twice as good as it is now) would be being able to scale a small business up and down instantly without hiring (to implement a new feature or whatever), which is costly and time consuming these days.

Is it as good as Fable..? Fable is the first model that mostly writes without the AI slop format for me, and so I can comfortably actually copy and paste most of what it spits out.

OpenAI models have always been the worst in my experience for verbose, slop formatted responses, with each generation increasing in sloppiness.

Just because something doesn’t perceive to be lightweight doesn’t mean that it isn’t. Many modern web frameworks are extremely lightweight (ie Svelte), but it’s complicated how they achieve it, and the source code looks like sludge.

Mr. Robertson: That's the way it has to be. That's the way it's always been. You should understand that better than anyone.

Temporal GPT: The snake that trains on its own tail, forever and ever?

Surprised models still output tools as text when for ages we’ve been able to constrain the output at the inference engine level and constrain the model what tools, parameters etc are available

Edit: found it, it’s called Grammar-Constrained Decoding (GCD)

Disagree, I assumed it was a 10 year old story because it was written in the personable style of the old internet…

It’s like an angsty book written by a teenager with only a middle-school level understanding of the world: throwing a few completely random words in there to sound smart.

Hard to believe that something that writes so terribly is so good at mathematics, given that writing non-slop must be at least some part formulaic.

I don’t know about the advice on market size… nearly every 2nd founder says go into beach head markets and stay away from markets with high competition.

The ones in beach head markets seem to succeed more often on average (anecdotal)
