So yeah for some things we are already at the point of "I am not longer the coder, I am the architect".. and it's scary.

Just think how these big companies will use that kind of power for themselves to get even more extreme uses out of it.

If you aren't scared of dynamic types for any type of semi-large project (like a game..) then you aren't qualified to talk about much.

Ah you mean an app that the US forced to be sold to a private company that certainly agreed behind the scenes to certain terms of the government?

Yeah.. completely independent private company...

Sitting and watching tv you can literally be completely still for long periods of time.

You would need to install 12 front-ends like Steam that would be hot trash and have a handful of games and be the most miserable shit ever. You wouldn't have sales, reasonable game prices, or family library sharing (this would be absurd to any other company).

Steam is a prime example of when a monopoly ends up to be the best for the consumer.

No- it's what the rich and powerful want and they have forced their ways on everyone because there's nothing we can do to stop it.

That's literally what our brains are so I'm not sure what argument you are actually trying to make..

You mean like our human brains and our entire bodies? We are the result of random processes.

>Sucks for those of us who are stuck in the now, though

I don't know what you are doing- but GPT5 is incredible. I literally spent 3 hours last night going back and forth on a project where I loaded some files for a somewhat complicated and tedious conversion between two data formats. And I was able to keep going back and forth and making the improvements incrementally and have AI do 90% of the actual tedious work.

To me it's incredible people don't seem to understand the CURRENT value. It has literally replaced a junior developer for me. I am 100% better off working with AI for all these tedious tasks than passing them off to someone off. We can argue all day if that's good for the world (it's not) but in terms of the current state of AI- it's already incredible.

To think the same isn't happening all over the place and will only continue is ignoring just how powerful this tech is.

Absolutely not- that is ridiculous.

Let's take "supply and demand" for example. Supply and demand only applies when you assume greed and capitalism. In a different social construct, the traditional supply & demand completely falls apart. But the problem is economics is presented as some sort of fact of nature. It just reinforces survival of the fittest instead of society that helps everyone.

Increasing prices because of demand is not the law of the land- it's a greed of humans that you normalize and make acceptable.

>emergency rooms cannot turn away patients Sure but that's not real "health care".. again, it's the bare minimum.

Saying the US takes care of it's old people is sort of silly. Healthcare is through the roof. Social security is so low. Elder care is insanity expensive. People are worked far older than they should be because they can't afford to retire- especially with medical costs. Old people continue to pay property taxes on a home they might have paid off 20 years ago.

Really just do some searches yourself; it's like most other developed countries than the US.. health care, education is not insanely expensive, a lot of paid maternity leave, childcare assistance, etc. They provide the base people need.

I fully support what they did.

The US for example doesn't take care of it's people. They do the absolute bare minimum in the name of illusionary "freedom". The only people who are free are the rich.

Call it whatever you want.. but there is great benefit in having a government who recognizes that society comes first- not the individual.
