<p>The very first thing I did vibe-coding was commit my prompts and AI responses. In Cursor that's extremely easy—just 'export' a chat. I stopped for security concerns but perhaps something like that is the way.</p>

<p>It's hard to see how suffering gets into the bits.<p>The tricky thing is that it's actually also hard to say how the suffering gets into the meat, too (the human animal), which is why we can't just write it off.</p>

<p>I like Manus's suggested follow-up questions.<p>In fact, sometimes I screenshot them and use Mac's new built-in OCR to copy them, because Manus gives me three options but they disappear if I click one, and sometimes I really like 2 or even all 3.</p>

<p>Personally, I don't understand how LLMs work. I know some ML math and certainly could learn, and probably will, soon.<p>But my opinions about what LLMs can do are based on... what LLMs can do. What I can see them doing. With my eyes.<p>The right answer to the question "What can LLMs do?" is... looking... at what LLMs can do.</p>

<p>a CEO laying off 3% scales in absolute numbers as the company grows<p>should, therefore, large companies, even ones that succeed largely in a clean way by just being better at delivering what that business niche exists for, be made to never grow too big, in order to avoid impacting very many people? keep in mind that people engage in voluntary business transactions because they want to be impacted (positively—but not every impact can be positive, in any real world)<p>what if its less efficient substitutes collectively lay off 4%, but the greater layoffs are hidden (simply because it's not a single employer doing it which may be more obvious)?<p>to an extent, a larger population inevitably means that larger absolute numbers of people will be affected by...anything</p>

<p>>This is how people surround themselves with "yes men"
>But this always results in the death of a business<p>I think you are conflating a "business yes man" with a "newspaper angle yes man". It is fine for a major newspaper to endorse certain values, and distance themselves from others! It's fine because it's a big country with a lot of newspapers!</p>

<p>I don't see how this is remotely incompatible with the parent. What percentage of the 8am-2am grind, do you think said Elon-tweets take? 1%? Less? What the team is doing during the unpublicized 99% is of more interest to me.</p>

<p>a "no-brainer"? for a <i>one-time</i> reduction? that severely damages America's ability to generate wealth? am I taking crazy pills today? I advise you to compare America's GDP per capita and especially disposable income per capita to any other country. wealth generation matters so much more than distribution.</p>

<p>Yeah with a "default yes" approach it'll be easily bypassed. With a "default no" it would work, ie you simply don't get an account at all until you prove your age.</p>
