<p>I’m suggesting they act less like a VHS tape of the past and instead just use passing awareness with the existence of those things to make their own custom versions.<p>No need to read <i>every</i> space opera to get the gist. Same with all old philosophy. Someone jotted down their creole for life. K …<p>I get the appeal, been there. After so much an abstract pattern of just being engaged in biochemistry hacking myself settled in as the ideas really matter little in our society of automated luxury and mere illusion of an honorific culture despite the political realities of our system.<p>It’s just vain disassociation to avoid responsibility to real existence, wrapped in appeals to traditions; a milquetoast conservatism. That’s my take. You can not like it but I’m not actually forcing anyone to live by it. I free you all from honor driven obligations if that’s what you need to read.</p>

<p>The pivot to cloud had a decade warmup before HOWTO was normalized to existing standards.<p>In the lead up a lot of the same naysaying we see about AI was everywhere. AI can be compressed into less logic on a chip, bootstrap from models. Require less state management tooling software dev relies on now. We’re slowly being trained to accept a down turn in software jobs. No need to generate the code that makes up an electrical state when we can just tune hardware to the state from an abstract model deterministically. Energy based models are the futuuuuuure.<p><a href="https://www.chipstrat.com/p/jensen-were-with-you-but-were-not" rel="nofollow">https://www.chipstrat.com/p/jensen-were-with-you-but-were-no...</a><p>Lot of the same naysaying about Dungeons and Dragons and comic books in the past too. Life carried on.<p>Functional illiterates fetishize semantics, come to view their special literacy as key to the future of humanity. Tale as old as time.</p>

<p>I get the point too because the point you make is also well trodden. I’ve absorbed the point and normalized to that’s how it works; recursion and some incidental memoization to avoid going purely fractal thought. I still feel the buzz, but I don’t feel drawn to be all “fuck yeah I did a thing!” It’s rote pattern and living. I feel the buzz I just don’t need to wank off being normal.<p>In the end it’s just abstract memorization in neurons. No new physics was discovered that lets us instantly trip to Pluto. Good job having a typical biological experience.<p>Similar abstract buzz comes from a cup of coffee leaving me seeing it all as chemistry of our body, the semantic knowledge being arbitrary existing coincidentally at the same time. The languages value faded and I’m left with a clusters of cells that trigger some dated concept like I’m a dumb VHS tape copy paste of others. In the end the learning some syntax was a forcing function to a hormone process; the value of the syntax is never forever.<p>Good for you experiencing consciousness. It happened because it could not because there’s a point to it, no matter how much honorific gibberish and F words you use.</p>

<p>Yeah doesn’t matter what you prefer. New hardware will boot strap models and eliminate the layers of syntax sugar devs use to write and ship software.<p>Hardware makers aren’t living some honorific quest to provide for SWEs. They see a path to claim more of the tech economy by eliminating as many SWE jobs as possible. They’re gonna try to capitalize on it.</p>

<p>Temporarily. Then your brain normalizes to the novelty and you’re just a junkie looking for a novel fix again.<p>Not really sure where you all think the study of language driven thought gonna get you since you still gonna be waking up tomorrow on Earth being a normal human with the same external demands of society regardless what of the bird song. Physics is pretty normalized and routine. Sounds like some sad addiction driven disassociation.</p>
