That is fine to say when it is not your field. I guarantee you feel different when it is the thing you care about, that gives you joy, that defines your status. Think about how many sheldon-equivalents insist on being called Dr. (non medical)

It is part of what people use to define themselves. Its going to hurt. There may even be a Bulterian Jihad

In all seriousness, actual AI psychosis is my 3rd risk behind 1. public interactive agents and 2. whatever devs are doing with agents to prod

Kids from the local uni having a lark, stalkers, vindictive ex employees, local gangs, criminals who understand their victims because they hail from the same community. These are your local hackers. Sift them from the nation states and international crime groups, then deal with the International as a matter of diplomacy. Because we do this so poorly locally, we have little ammunition to when it comes to diplomacy. "reduce attacks by your crime groups and we buy your natural gas, seel you wheat etc"

Want more motivation?- 75% of the local attacks by volume send funds back to terrorist or separatist organizations.

It is not an in-soluble problem. Sentences are a fraction of the answer, effective and receptive reporting processes are more important, then government backing for investigation and enforcement, then policy around home-team activities (ie don't do the bad things yourselves Mr Gov). Deterrence comes after all that.

Yes, if your shop is well developed these work (10% of the time every time), but this is a structure to kick that all in to gear, as a repo, where all you need to add is unlimited machine cognitive power/tokens.

Maybe you need to add these gas town personalities to various parts of the existing SDLC, .....but..... you still need to track what they do and how- and you need them to intermediate between each other at 2am when they hit an impasse. Something very rare in most human cognition shops.

And word from the experimenters is.. it sort of works. Which is on par with most human shops. IMO. I don't have the money to burn to test at the scale Yegge is, but the small scale stuff I have done in this direction, this seems plausible.

I think at Gas Country levels we will need better networking systems. Maybe that backbone Nvidia just built....

It is like saying "I don't handwrite anything, I care too much about line spacing, I only use a dot matrix printer" when some one is trying to sell you a calligraphy pen and coloured inks, and you have only tried a ballpoint pen. You might be the wrong market, but they are not even close in use case and application.

Someone describing string theory is the literary equivalent of fractal structures in snowflakes. Lovely, complex, possibly unique, but not proof of a level of intelligence- for the string theorist maybe it is intelligent, perhaps persuading someone to fund their grant, which enables them to eat, shelter etc. Might be a bit harsh on string theory. Saying it is proof of an amount of intelligence leads us to falsifiable statements.
