AI is different 11 months ago

It's "designing" the way it gets me to the destination without a human in the loop and I'm not bothered by that at all.

AI is different 11 months ago

I would. If something has proven results, it won't matter to me if a human is in the loop or not. Waymo has worked great for me for instance.

That's just a side effect of toxic work environments. If AI can create value, someone will use it to create value. If companies won't use AI because they can't blame it when their boss yells at them, then they also won't capture that value.

Trying to translate "Satoshi Nakamoto" from Japanese to English does not show "Central Intelligence" in any tool I've used. I also find it hard to believe that something that obvious would have never been mentioned. Can any native Japanese speakers confirm this?

AI is so new and so powerful, that we don't really know how to use it yet. The next step is orchestration. LLMs are already powerful but they need to be scaled horizontally. "One shotting" something with a single call to an LLM should never be expected to work. That's not how the human brain works. We iterate, we collaborate with others, we reflect... We've already unlocked the hard and "mysterious" part, now we just need time to orchestrate and network it.

People were saying this about coding bootcamps just a little while ago! "All of these bootcamp coders don't really know what they're doing and us seniors will have to clean up after them". Same with outsourcing before that. Most people (seniors included) suck at coding. AI is already better than all but the the very best. It will continue to improve.

This makes the assumption that vibe coded software is worse than human coded software. I think that’s already false on average and will quickly become “no contest”. We’ve already seen the best humans can do, ai is just getting started.

These tools continue to increase in power. It’s incredible and there’s no use denying it. Asking people to read ai generated code will soon make as much sense as asking people to read compiler generated ASTs.

These models will also have access to what’s not widely known. Imagine running it on everyone’s private email for instance. At the very least, it can currently scale and augment human evil (just like it does with coding). The future will just make that division even wider.

Only if we can get a pre-tuned, truly open and powerful model. Otherwise those in power can only give us access to models deliberately hobbled to compete with their full-power versions.

I worry that the people/organizations that have access to the raw underlying models give us the "non-evil" versions yet can explicitly tune their models to achieve any goal without restriction. Examples may include: "How do I get the most work out of my employees for the least amount of pay", "Who in the government is most susceptible to bribes and how should I approach them?" or even "Give me a strategy to ethnically cleanse a region while navigating international relations". It could be anything and those in power (without naming names, I would consider many of them evil for sure) can use them to achieve their goals while leaving the rest of us unable to defend ourselves. To some degree it feels like the right to bear arms has intersecting goals.

Maguire has been spreading absolutely vile genocide propaganda since Israel has started its assault on Gaza. It's about time it caught up to him and Sequoia.

They were probably worried that the west would continue to launch attack after attack on civilian populations. They were quite prescient.

Executives get paid orders of magnitude more than non-executives, yet never seem to be responsible for the performance of their companies. They should be the first let go when it's time to turn things around. Who else could possibly be responsible other than those running the company?

When it's in Israel and features the Zionist flag, then yes, absolutely.
