Perfect for a Hydration Break!

You gotta just use more tokens, more tokens means better everything.

Finally, someone talking sense! Personally I first evaluate all of my potential employees by how clean they can lick my boots.

Cancelled my Spotify subscription as well, although on account of being served generated music several times in automatic playlists.

Actually owning music I listen to now feels great, but I missed the automatic recommendations. Setting up a plexamp server right now, but am looking into jellyfin. I love how it's OS and community supported. Does it have a recommendation system?

The kids are alright.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

You have to admit though, a very appropriate speaker for new graduates in 2026.

Remember when IBM claimed the same about Watson?

You sound manic.

Yes, I meant the evidence of Epstein's associates including the current supreme leader raping underaged girls. Including the evidence of his ties to intelligence agencies. Would help explain some wars right now, I would think.

Optimism?

That little man has eroded any respect that he might have been a priori granted with his publicly documented descent into a vibecoding mania. I'm still in disbelief that the very silly photographer guy is the CEO of ycombinator. Ah well, it was a good era.

I'm a hair's breadth from switching to a Kimi plan at this point.

My apologies, I don't know where I got the ARM architecture part from. I really want one of those machines, but I guess if they can't approach MacBook battery life yet I'm stuck on MacOS for now.

They're talking about the new model announced, with a larger battery and ARM architecture. Not released yet, I don't think.

I wonder if the hardware or the software will be the first to make a dream dev machine happen - a MacBook Pro + Linux experience

either Asahi gets there from the software side or Framework gets there from the hardware side

Food and shelter?

Aaand yet another clickbait title with an LLM-generated article selling a product.

There are ebbs and flows of absurdity, with the peaks being bubbly moments. I will never forget the fact that Dentacoin existed in 2017, and garnered attention for being a crypto token that you could use to pay your dentist. It's a multi billion dollar market! And the marketcap reached a $2 billion mark.

Neither were the Iranian nuclear scientists.

Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding! Let me pivot then-- I still argue that it is a fundamentally different case when it comes to LLMs.

1. Threatening young and educated people with not being able to realize the potential that they believed they were building for themselves is toying with social uprising.

2. Weaving is an apt example of redundancy on account of technological innovation but it's a poor comparison to LLMs where the narrative is that they will continue to get better until they approach a general intelligence level which would put a much much higher percentage of the population at risk of losing their jobs. Again, the segment of the population that has invested most into their skills, and will be the most angry and capable of organizing should that come to pass.

Weaving doesn't as aptly represent the core of what we as a species are good at and excel at, as knowledge work does.

The weavers had a rough go of it for sure, but at least they did not have to spend 4 years of their early adulthood being intellectually challenged in a higher education institution, often going into debt, in order to become qualified weavers.

I'm thinking LLMs lead to an AIG scenario (circa 2008) as opposed to AGI.

Conversely, it's possible that honing your actual skills by minimizing reliance on LLMs could become a very valuable trait in the coming future. But in that case, you'd be burning fewer tokens and you wouldn't be contributing to LLM company userbase growth which is a bad thing to do.

The loom, the steam engine, or the airplane did not cause "captains of industry" to publicly salivate over anticipating being able to fire their knowledge workers who invested time, money, and effort into becoming qualified for the jobs they're now constantly in fear of losing.

The social contract is being broken. Being broken just on paper, just on the hopes that it can be broken for good.

It's the pinnacle of human innovation. It should be revered as our greatest achievement. People should know about how its going to revolutionize scientific research.

How so? Colloquially, AI currently means LLMs. Why would we revere LLMs as our greatest achievement?

I really love Andrej Karpathy's take on LLMs as being instead of intelligence or sentience, a kind of cortical tissue.

It should be clear from working with LLMs over the past 4 years that they are not consciousness.

Andrej's appearance on the Dwarkesh podcast is great.

They could help you build an AGI if someone else has already built AGI and published it on GitHub.

“The people who make this stuff are losers. They’re not artists. They’re not creative,” she said at the “Hacks” press conference last month at the London hotel in West Hollywood. “And they’ve wanted their whole lives to be special. And they’re not special. So, they’re trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can’t. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who’s near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard. You are a loser. You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush.”

Poetry.

What recursive self-improvement?
