The goal was to raise as much money as possible as fast as possible before the curtain is pulled back to reveal the Wizard's empire of lies.

Hope there's a day I can just use Dolphin on any system

If it isn't going to replace doctors, why is ChatGPT giving medical advice at all, especially deadly medical advice?

Looking past "drugs bad mkay", the same ChatGPT that gave this advice is just as capable of giving the same, or worse, advice to someone wondering if they can take an allergy medication like Benedryl with their MAOI antidepressant.

The tooling is telling laymen that they built wonderful things that definitely work and perfectly fix and add features.

The tooling gasses them up and is simply wrong in these cases.

If your tool regularly lies, gaslights and produces wrong results, that's a tooling issue.

All modern PCs ship with Pluton coprocessors. The end-to-end remote attestation hardware infrastructure is all already there, waiting for someone to flip a switch and turn it on.

That said, there are countless mobile devices with locked bootloaders and and boot integrity attestation that will never run anything other than OEM OSes. That's equivalent to a locked Secure Boot + UKI-like system on PCs and it's already here.

It's like I never wrote them, because I didn't. I've got the gist of them, but it's the same way I get the gist of something like Numpy: I know how it works theoretically, but certainly not specifically enough to jump in and write some working Fortran that fixes bugs or adds features.

I now have a bunch of stalled projects I'm not very familiar with. I no longer do solo green field projects that way.

The viewpoint is baked into those assumptions and boils down to the power of exponentials and poor application of game theory.

LLMs promote a decoupling of mental models and the actual codebase.

As much as some may want to believe, just reviewing what the LLM outputs is not equivalent to thinking about implementation details, motivations, exactly how and why things are, and how and why they work the way they do, and then writing it yourself. The process itself is what instills that knowledge in you.

Stop handing your kids brand new iPads and complaining, especially if you aren't willing to use parental controls.
