Israel literally bombed a hospital then double tap killed the rescue crew and the journalists covering the original war crime, and it's all on video for anyone to see.

So why would you say this guy was released?

It's "designing" the way it gets me to the destination without a human in the loop and I'm not bothered by that at all.

I would. If something has proven results, it won't matter to me if a human is in the loop or not. Waymo has worked great for me for instance.

That's just a side effect of toxic work environments. If AI can create value, someone will use it to create value. If companies won't use AI because they can't blame it when their boss yells at them, then they also won't capture that value.

It does incredible things today that we wouldn't have thought possible 5 years ago.

Trying to translate "Satoshi Nakamoto" from Japanese to English does not show "Central Intelligence" in any tool I've used. I also find it hard to believe that something that obvious would have never been mentioned. Can any native Japanese speakers confirm this?

What kind of impasse?

This is just racist propaganda. There’s no evidence to back up your claims. The links you posted talk about the police raping kids.

> One woman says as a child she would hear a police officer having sex with girls in exchange for drugs and money.

That sounds like a lot more than denial to me! It’s safe to say any evidence gathered by the same cops raping kids should be thrown out.

AI is so new and so powerful, that we don't really know how to use it yet. The next step is orchestration. LLMs are already powerful but they need to be scaled horizontally. "One shotting" something with a single call to an LLM should never be expected to work. That's not how the human brain works. We iterate, we collaborate with others, we reflect... We've already unlocked the hard and "mysterious" part, now we just need time to orchestrate and network it.

Yes, it's well known that UK police and politicians have abused children at scale, hence why Saville was able to get away with what he did. He was protected by the crown. There are even pictures of Ghislane Maxwell and Kevin Spacey sitting on the throne (can google it).

This has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with the UK being a addicted to surveillance. They have a long history of spying on their own citizens.

Thousands of children aren't being assaulted, unless you count by Jimmy Saville and his friends.

My point is people keep saying the same thing throughout different eras and the truth is the quality of code has always been low. If anything, ai is going to greatly improve it.

People were saying this about coding bootcamps just a little while ago! "All of these bootcamp coders don't really know what they're doing and us seniors will have to clean up after them". Same with outsourcing before that. Most people (seniors included) suck at coding. AI is already better than all but the the very best. It will continue to improve.

This makes the assumption that vibe coded software is worse than human coded software. I think that’s already false on average and will quickly become “no contest”. We’ve already seen the best humans can do, ai is just getting started.

Correct, it’s user hostile to dictate which software is allowed to see content.
