Is there an article every time a Mack Truck catches on fire?

Building more power plants seems like a pretty sane approach to me.

Saying AI has no benefit is pure ostrich head in the sand nonsense.

Its pure cope from the math community. One year ago if god came down and asked any of these math guys if they would want to see the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis they would all say yes. Now that the AI math god is here and handing out proofs they are all like 'not like that'!

Every technology advancement comes with good things and bad things. Fire - Good: can cook food, Bad: can be used for war.

Because unless you are the only person maintaining your codebase other people in your organization will start using the cool new syntax sugar and optional functionality. So you will be forced to deal with it as it starts showing up in your codebase.

Why are people complaining about money going into FOSS?

There is no way the price tag is less than tens of millions right?

You are posting on a website that is hosted in a data center right now. You use data centers at your job to send email, share documents, run software. When you go home and watch netflix, that video is streamed to you from a data center. All of the internet, your phone, and modern digital entertainment and life is run through data centers. My guess is that you don't seriously want to turn all of that off because 'reasons'.

Github is owned by Microsoft, its not like its some boostrapped startup who has a closet of servers that are melting.

Opus 5 is so wordy, it doesn't feel any better than 4.8 at coding (at least not for what I use it for), I hopped over to Grok4.6 after the announcement the other day and its been pretty good so far. It also is very fast.

the "no moat" stuff is dumb. There are only like 4 companies in the world that have cutting edge LLMs so there is definitely a moat.

If you own a $20,000 car and I steal it, is your loss not $20k? (excluding depreciation etc)

Lets prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping the assembly that is generated by our compilers...

A counterexample proves that the conjecture is false, not sure what you are talking about. And we can play word games all day about what counts as a "new brilliant scientific idea" but the fact is that no human had been able to solve it.

Speak for yourself dude. I programmed a game engine in Java in 2011 right after I graduated college, and it powers a game that I launched on Steam in 2015. https://github.com/FourSeventy/sylver_engine
