That my friends is a Business Model.

Childbirth was extraordinaly dangerous. 6-8 births per woman and a 1-2% chance of dying per birth for the majority of history.

We have no idea what that was like. Rates today are ~0.013%.

What were the models running on? It doesn’t matter a ton but would help paint the whole picture better.

This change is possibly too big and unless all my existing usage patterns are maintained or improved, I’ll likely give CC a try now. Not optimistic.

At the same time, get your kids a computer early so they can learn the basics. Maybe even keep it off the internet.

Skip phones and tablets altogether for as long as possible.

The really sad thing about how VR evolved is that sim sickness was not taken seriously as a barrier for mass adoption. Too many devs and players cast it aside as a "them" problem. "They" couldn't handle it. "They" didn't have VR legs.

The bottom line is that most things that became popular in VR were violating the rules which prevented sim sickness. This was a self-fulfilling prophecy that led the VR world into a corner.

I'm hopeful that Valve will be better stewards of VR in the long run, once Meta shuts down its hardware division, which you know is coming in the next couple years.

Then AI comes along and offers real growth opportunity. But of course, Meta fumbled that one out of the gate because they are more interested in winning than in actually offering anything of value. So they figured they could sabotage the whole thing by open sourcing Llama. Then they got steamrolled by everyone actually creating value for people instead of following their tried and true parasite model.

No tech company in this era has been more destructive to society than Meta. Their utter lack of principles has led them down this path. Ironically the most value they have generated is to their investors and especially their employees who are all wealthy now, funded with advertising dollars from across the economy.

This should be a deterrent to those who would pursue power for its opportunities in unethical behavior. It would also be a way for society to recognize the seriousness of this breach.

These are usually internal tools, workflow improvements, and one off features. Anything really central to the game’s code gets human coded.

I think the further you are from the idea part, the less fun AI coding will be for you. Because now you need to not just translate some spec to code, you have to translate it to a prompt, which ups the chances of playing the telephone game. At least when you write the code yourself you are getting real with it and facing all the ambiguities as a matter of course. If you just pass it to an LLM you never personally encounter the conflicts, and it might make assumptions you would not… but you don’t even realize it because they are assumptions!
