<p>Can’t really figure out if it’s a paid App Store or not. I suppose I can have them buy a license externally and have the agent validate that.</p>

<p>I think Fitness definitely caught on though. You could say it was a constant recurring self-promise some prior generations made, but our current generations are not lacking on a focus on fitness.<p>Education is not too different. We’re not exactly a society that goes “Going to dig into an interesting course this weekend with the wife”, no, nowhere near that. Takes time, generations.</p>

<p>Don’t confuse this with this persons ability to hide their instincts. He is redefining “senior” roles as junior, but words are meaningless in a world of numbers. The $$$ translation is that something that was worth $2 should now be worth $1.<p>Because that makes the most business sense.</p>

<p>Free money did not dry up. I genuinely couldn’t imagine the upteenth saas or data startup trend continuing for another several decades towards the end of the last one. There was almost nothing left to build until AI …<p>There were symptoms of it right here on HN. Lots of fiddling around with framework churn, not really building anything compelling. The 2010s were not inspiring in that regard, and I personally felt like it was an unworthy field … until AI reinvigorated it (speaking entirely from a creative standpoint).</p>

<p>The dotcom bubble had comp sci lecture halls with students overflowing into the hallway. I don’t blame people, it’s migratory. Jobs and resources are <i>there</i>, so, go <i>there</i>.<p>Then we blame the other group of students for <i>not</i> going there and picking majors where the jobs aren’t.<p>We need some kind of apprenticeship program honestly, or AI will solve the thing entirely and let people follow their honest desires and live reasonably in the world.</p>

<p>Consider adding a little UI to this. If I can just right-click a model/zip/folder and click "scan", then there's really no reason not to have this around (speaking in terms of removing any practical barrier, including laziness).</p>

<p>People will take the risk with uncensored models tuned for specific things. I'm glad we're talking about this now rather than 10 years later like with npm. The amount of ad-hoc AI tools on github is staggering, and people are just downloading these things like it's no big deal.</p>

<p>It feels like the only aspect of Game Theory at work here is opportunity cost. For example, why shouldn't you make AI porn generation software? There's moral reasons for it, but usually, most put it aside because someone else is going to get the bag first. That exhaustive list the author enumerated are all in some way byproducts of break-things-move-fast-say-sorry-later philosophy. You need ID for the websites because you did not give a shit and wanted to get the porn out there first and foremost. Now you need IDs.<p>You need to track everyone and everything on the internet because you did not want to cap your wealth at a reasonable price for the service. You are willing to live with accumulated sins because "its not as bad as murder". The world we have today has way more to do with these things than anything else. We do not operate as a collective, and naturally, we don't get good outcomes for the collective.</p>

<p>Prion dynamics (per gpt):<p><i>- Misfolding & Conversion: A normal, functional prion protein (PrP C) changes shape into a misfolded, pathogenic form (PrP Sc), which acts as a template to convert more PrP C into PrP Sc.<p>- Self-Propagation: The core of prion dynamics is this autocatalytic cycle, where PrP Sc recruits and converts normal PrP C, leading to exponential growth.
Aggregation: These misfolded proteins clump together, forming large aggregates (amyloid) that deposit in the brain, causing neurodegeneration.<p>- Fragmentation: For propagation to continue, large aggregates must break down (fragment) into smaller pieces (seeds) that can initiate new conversion cycles, a process crucial for disease progression and influenced by chaperones like Hsp104 in yeast.</i><p>The group you are describing would indeed need to remove the misfolded protein for survival.<p>In terms of hope:<p><i>".... For propagation to continue, large aggregates must break down (fragment) into smaller pieces (seeds) that can initiate new conversion cycles"</i><p>In other words, the Republican party could be looking at serious fracturing into many many post-mango camps, ala Margerie Taylor Green leaving the MAGA camp. These dynamics are probably exactly how the conservatives got co-opted by the MAGA strain.</p>

<p>Hmmm. But who can audit the reporting? Evidently, this looks like something they can manipulate.<p>Is the bottom line roughly:<p>Money received: 1000<p>Money used for good: 800<p>Labor: 200<p>Is that it?<p>Because I can assure you, that will not turn out well.</p>

<p>Is there even standard practices to audit the effectiveness of charity? No accountability means they will always operate like a black box, and I’ve always thought black boxes create misalignments.<p>Money goes in, and good feelings come out. It certainly serves a purpose, but not the intended one.</p>

<p>We have to solve universal beauty somehow. People like to take part in beauty, so it isn’t fair to admonish it outright as pure vanity. If you stared at the most beautiful people all day what need do you have to survey the world like Quasimodo from the social media bell tower?<p>The Hunchback struggled with an apparent vacancy of physical beauty and the burden of exclusion. He constantly doom scrolled from the tower above looking down. The solution required everyone in town to have a literal fucking epiphany.</p>
