> LLMs comparable to today's state of the art are going to be running on $1-2K machines in a few years

This is a huge claim. What makes you think this will be the case?

Especially as even with the supermajority the Dems don't have enough seats to beat the filibuster or presidential veto. They're not passing any laws without Republican support.

Isn't Kagi basically Brave search?

Why do you think they're dumping money into the election?

What makes you think security was ever a priority?

Revenge. The answer is revenge. That's obviously driving motivation behind this.

How many of the security issues found were created by LLMs in the first place, though?

imo Telegram is the least bad chat app that I've used. Discord has a lot of UX and performance issues.

This is all well and good until you have children to look after. Expecting one parent to pick up the slack because you want to go to bed at 4am is not fair.

You do realise these countries had people there before white people arrived, right?

No one is going to raise families on the moon. Why do people believe this crazy nonsense?

You are abdicating your responsibility, which is fine for toy apps for yourself, but less fine when people expect that 2fa implementation to protect their accounts.

You probably don't even need vision. The audio on adverts is noticeably different.

It strikes me that I am really turned off by the phoned in Claude Code design on this website. For a website that tracks quality I just expect a bit better. Probably unfairly.

LLMs are famously bad at Chess. They have no world model and they are not trained to be good at Chess. This is not the amazing point you think that it is.

The training (i.e. all of the red teaming and CTF content they could scrape) told them to.

I don't think anyone is worried about user expectations. It's management expectations. The output expectation goes up, while the quality of that output goes down, but is still your responsibility.

I'm not surprised professional software developers are not enjoying AI development.
