The conclusions do not follow from the premise. Show actual examples of what you are afraid of?

I thought about this, and can not tell if you are being serious or not. I can see arguments for either.

Your comment made me realize that it's also not hard to imagine we could be a few short years away from a benevolent AI tasked with setting the market and selectively selling to individuals who, as a group, embody some ideal distribution for the company.

I agree, but Im trying to decide what "artificial restrictions...on the market" are and can't come up with anything other than "the problems and solutions occasioned by selling a limited number of items" i.e. distribution problems.

So are scalpers distributors?

Is the onus on the company/market/"all of us" to find "better" (whatever you think "better" is) distribution methods?

Good read. Thanks for sharing.

"Other people may have it worse, so we should not use language that (in my opinion) devalues their struggle". This adds nothing to the discussion of the original or larger point(s).

Based on the apparent quality of the scripts as seen in snippets in Murderbot, we are not too far away from that possibility. :)

No it doesn't, at least not for me.

Speaking of pyramid (shapes), this reminds me of an idea in Robert Silverberg's Majipoor series - there's a 30-mile high mountain with populated cities all the way up to the top whose weather and temperature is controlled by 8,000-year-old-tech established by the original colonizers. My memory is that nobody at the time of the series' events knows how to operate the tech - it just works.

I'm not sure what your point is - can you expand?

I don't think you need to wait long. Most of your post is already proven wrong in this very thread.

You're missing the point that it's (conceivably, and probably) different people making the comments. Each model release has a few new converts, which is expected if the models are in fact getting better at agentic coding.

You're implying it's a hype train when in fact it's an adoption curve.

Possibly truth is a higher societal good than unfettered free expression? Reasonable people may debate that concept. Ref: X

>> people who are incapable of anything except bikeshedding

The amount of insulting language directed at people who actually have an open mind about AI and AI tooling is frustrating. Can you all just please address the merits of the topic of the post instead of making every AI-related post on HN an excuse to vent about your own particular worldview and insult people who don't necessarily agree?
