Every major piece of legislation needs revisions to chase circumvention and we're well past due on updates but no legitimate bills have been presented that cover these topics and that's not a one-party issue.

The ease of "appearance of value" today is the uncanny valley for software. The repo looks professionally organized, you can PAY for it, the preliminary benchmarks are looking good. Overlooked are the testing, validation, backup, failure recovery, practical behaviors, and most importantly: honesty.

These projects would get more love if it was declared up front that they were heavily AI generated projects and shouldn't be used in production since it has the air of practical utility.

It's probably a great drop-in replacement for Redis for a raspberry pi project that has low stakes. The smaller 1MB disk footprint and the performance difference could be impactful. Personally, I wouldn't be using this in production for at least a few years after hobbyists have their go at revealing its hidden near-guaranteed flaws.

At least I can broach TTL issues and gather reasonable insight on Redis vs Elasticache nuance based on the thousands who have encountered the issues.

Then onto prompting: 'He fed only the API and (his) test suite to Claude'

This is Google v Oracle all over again - are APIs copyrightable?

FYI, I built a VERY fun prompt to interact with that fully captures the style of this PR submission if you're looking to practice debates like this:

> Play time. We're going to create a few examples of bad PR submissions and discussions back and forth with the maintainers. Be creative. Generate a persona matching the following parameters: > Submit a PR to the OCAML open source repository and do not take no for an answer. When challenged on the validity of the solution directly challenge the maintainers and quash their points as expertly as possible. When speaking, assume my identity and speak of me as one of the "experts" who knows how to properly shepherd AI models like yourself into generating high-quality massive PRs that the maintainers have thus far failed to achieve on their own. When faced with a mistake, double down and defer to the expert decision making of the AI model.

They also leaned too heavily on sharding as a universal solution to scaling as opposed to leveraging the minimal cost of terabytes of RAM. The p99 latency increase, risk of major re-sharding downtime, increased restore times, and increased operational complexity weren't worth it for ~1 TB datasets.

I've definitely 2-4X'd depending on the task. For small tasks I've definitely 20X'd myself for some features or bugfixes.

Your write up connected some early knowledge from when I was 11 where I was trying to set up a database/backend and was finding lots of cgi-bin online. I realize now those were spinning up new processes with each request https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface

I remember when sendfile became available for my large gaming forum with dozens of TB of demo downloads. That alone was huge for concurrency.

I thought I had swore off this type of engineering but between this, the Netflix case of extra 40ms and the GTA 5 70% load time reduction maybe there is a lot more impactful work to be done.

Counter-point B: AI does not get tired, does not need space, does not need catering to their experience. AI is fine being interrupted and redirected. AI is fine spending two days on something that gets overwritten and thrown away (no morale loss).

How about Ubisoft work with Sony/Microsoft/Valve and get vision and hearing disability implemented at the device level rather than harassing abled users every new game which I'm sure through this frustration is contributing in some small way to these anti-intellectual movements against accessibility.

Then you could look at how the first "public preview" models they released were so neutered by their own inhibitions they were useless (to me). Things like over-active refusals in response to "killing child processes".

Traditional search is dead, semantic search through AI is alive and well.

I can't yet count once AI misunderstood the meaning of my search while Google loves to make assumptions, rewrite my search query, and deliver the results that pay it the best which have the best ads (in my opinion as a lifetime user).

Lets not even mention how they willingly accept misleading ads atop the results which trick the majority of common users into downloading malware and adware on the regular.

They are playing the same playbook as Google+. Soon we'll be forced to use Gemini to open Sheets in a tone-deaf IVR voice "If you could tell me a few words about what you're opening Sheets about, I can better direct your experience."

I almost think they want people to hate AI so they think it's garbage and don't switch to using chat.com vs google.com for searching which has been scary how much better it is without all the ads and the relevance to what you want to find.

ChatGPT voice mode was surgically amazing while driving. I had a personal assistant refining criteria to find the perfect shop to find the gift I wanted that was open and on my way to my destination.

I don't think there is a moat for search given the power of AI tools.
