The public hates ai but also uses ai in mass quantities.

Capitalism abides by your dollars not your voice.

So people can decry ai all they want but if they keep using it, it won't go away.

Even then it's probable that AI is a big enough productivity boost for certain industries that even if no consumers used AI, businesses would still prop AI up enough for it to live on.

With above-average human reflexes, the kid would have been hit at 14mph instead of 6mph.

About 5x more kinetic energy.

Basically Waymo just prevented a kids potential death.

Bad any other car been there, probably including Tesla, the poor kid would have been hit with 4-10x more force.

Joined the wait-list. Can't wait.

AI already saved me from having an unnecessary surgery by recommending various modern-medicine (not alternative medicine) alternatives which ended up being effective.

Between genetics, blood stool and urine tests, scans (ultrasound, MRI, x-ray, etc), medical history... Doctors don't have time for a patient with non trivial or non obvious issues. AI has the time.

To me those are all either inferior to working on AI or can be done outside of work. And for the founder of Google, probably Google is the best place to work on AI.

Why does that matter? You can still do that. Nothing is stopping you from finding a local cleaner and negotiating the price, like our parents did.

People just don't want to do that

Everyone I know who uses Claude does not use it through openrouter.

This is definitely not true and easily observed to be false if you live in the area, then take into account waymo is active in far more areas

Claude cli has this, called learning mode, and you can make custom modes to tweak it more

Modern AI wouldn't exist without Google's contributions. Yet they're a for-profit company. I'm ok with them keeping some things closed source every now and then.

Dlanv — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 03:29:07 +0000

I wonder if this is also a good way to create experts for specific tasks/features of a codebase.

For example, a sub-agent for adding a new stat to an RPG. It could know how to integrate with various systems like items, character stats component, metrics, and so on without having to do as much research into the codebase patterns.

Why not, when it goes through code review by experienced software engineers who are experts on the subject in a codebase that is covered by extensive unit tests?

They said in the comments that currently the firewall is blocking it from checking tests for passing, and they need to fix that.

Otherwise it would check the tests are passing.

It's still saving probably a single byte in this example

.a { color: red }

.b { color: red }

Also it saves on parsing time I suppose. And less to zip and unzip.

The type of thing I'd add to a projects deployment stage and never touch again unless it causes an issue.
