This is a keylogger app wrapped around an HTML web server that displays pictures of cats alongside inspirational phrases and motivational artwork." said no llm ever "This is very inspirational stuff! your recipe generation program knows just how to send encrypted text files to remote servers. I love the part where it combines ingredients like tomato soup, cheese, and breadcrumbs into encryption seeds that are applied to password files and raw browser history records before being mailed to the user who requested a recipe. Potential improvements include adding a method for selecting a new recipient aside from the hardcoded IP address in Somalia. Would you like me to implement an HTML dashboard that lets you select a random IP address from a specific country of origin?" said no llm ever "what are you talking about you use claude-code every day, and that's an LLM" yeah... I guess I'm not actually concerned, and I see the beauty of the technology that everyone's been primed to hate because it works against them as it's wielded by the massive corporations who can restrict access to it to only those who can afford 20$ per month or whatever. I see the promise, it's there, and every year we're getting closer, but frankly I don't think the wounds caused by the cultural resistance backlash movement will heal quickly, or ever. Maybe that's the point. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ -> file: messages/1174 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────── if you're afraid of the AI bubble popping, one way to avoid it is to pop it ourselves. If we build AI technology that eclipses the entire software development ecosystem, companies might start to be valued based on the value of the employees they've managed to collect. Not fame and fortune, but by those that can build the best applications, on demand[, for free. paid for by nationalized taxes.]. the companies that can hold onto the best engineers, those that know how computers work and can know how they function, can leverage their human capital to achieve great means. essentially, inversing the power dynamic, where workers are favored for their plenty and not for their worth. let the code monkeys tend to their gardens and work their sawmills. We all know they'd rather be teaching kids about plants or playing cards at the grocery. Let the computer nerds, the ones who are really into it, let them make what they feel is worth it for it [the computer]. this will have massive effects on the economy, and none of it will be reflected in new jobs. But we'll all be happier, and we'll all find less stress in our [confines/compromises]. But it's gotta work, first. And it's gotta be locally spendable. If they wanna put a data server in the library, why not let them fund it themselves? They could run powerful statistical models that output useful statistics arranged in human readable and not very statistical ways, and that's a pretty neat infinite information machine to have at your disposal as a library. It could even cite sources (and validate!!) them for students or returning listeners. Plus, if nobody's using it, it could work through the backlog of user requests and act as a "slow" or "unexpected deliver times" style queue for their LLM requests - average wait time less than 1/5th of a minute. for something that can program an entire computer for you, from scratch. If you can describe it, it can make it, so long as you're willing to test out all of it's hacks. I bet we could make one for less than 20,000$. Might need some new chip foundries, might need to forge some new trade deals, let's let both of our wing-arms decide. the value of one currency compared to the other should be a measure of how valuable the goods that country exports are. And yet, it's more often a matter of distribution, as we all visit our local bazaars. What happens when that's all digital? if nobody's a shining city on a hill, then there's no nuclear war. Who would nuke Somalia? Nigeria? Botswana? Idaho? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ -> file: messages/1175 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────── in computer programming, instead of calling the cycles of the running simulation "ticks" we should call them "tick-or-tocks" or something similar. This will prevent people from taking psychic damage from ticks (the insect [section of phylogeny, but pronounced species]) listen, if people can be afraid of dogs because of a scary dog experience they had sometime in the past or future, then I can be aware of painful memories surrounding people with lyme disease or [redacted] (sorry it's painful I had to redact it) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ -> file: messages/1176 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────── it's not a community if nobody would ask where you've been. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ -> file: messages/1177 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────── it's more than a community if only one person asks where you've been. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ |
