Danish public broadcaster. Probably the best reputation in the world on Danish news.

Do you have any hard lines for what an AI should be able to generate for you?

Check the post history. It’s pretty obvious

I have no idea why they would do that. Outside blatant corruption, which we shouldn't discount.

Also if a person always wanted to write a book I don’t think prompting an AI will scratch that itch.

Except the models don’t actually compute anything other than text generation. The entire way they interact with computers is through the shell or other api layers on the OS

Indie games are already bigger than ever as far as I know.

How so?

New comment by hagbarth in "Danish pension fund divesting US Treasuries"

hagbarth — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 16:18:17 +0000

This isn’t a political move. It’s a pension fund derisking a small part of their investments by moving them out of a riskier asset.

For rentals I get that. We own 2 EVs and a charger at home. Easiest driving experience ever. We just plug it in.

Graphite predates AI code reviews. Obviously includes it now, but the original selling point was support for stacking PRs.

I've seen this statement before. I'm not sure why my nation winning AI, whatever that means (first to AGI?), is better for me than some other nation?

Ah yes, proving a negative. What makes you sure a stone is not capable of cognition?

Revenue is all up. And as far as I can see beating expectations.

> People think that because AI cannot replace a senior dev, it's a worthless con.

Quite the strawman. There are many points between “worthless” and “worth 100s of billions to trillions of investment”.

Sam Altman has been drumming[1] the ASI drum for a while now. I don't think it's a stretch to say that this is the vision he is selling.

If you read a little further in the article, the main point is _not_ that AI is useless. But rather than AGI god building, a regular technology. A valuable one, but not infinite growth.

New comment by hagbarth in "AGI fantasy is a blocker to actual engineering"

hagbarth — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 14:34:39 +0000

I believe AlphaFold, AlphaEvolve etc are _not_ looking to get to AGI. The whole article is a case against AGI chasing, not ML or LLM overall.

I agree with that. It's a bet they have to make. They are just in a worse position to make it than some of the other companies.
