It’s quite fun and engaging.

Step 2: Start hiring their crew members to government positions to later aid them in acquiring licenses for industries they want to monopolize.

Step 3: Pass some regulation that your buddies can easily comply with but nearly impossible for everyone else to comply with.

Result is a bloated government that spends a ton of money to seemingly achieve nothing, except serve your oligarchy.

Now blame the poor and welfare state. So you can keep more of the taxes.

Deregulate so your buddies who are now running monopolies can spend less.

Give more contracts to new buddies to share the spoils from aforementioned taxes you kept more of.

So on, so forth.

Oh, remember to keep telling the public about communism and how big governments are bloated and point at the one you designed as evidence that it’s inevitable.

I can’t think of a belief I currently hold - other than more instinctive ones like children’s welfare - and that I cannot critique or find flaws in. If I you push me, I might even find inconsistencies there.

Although I agree with the author for the inverse. E.g. I haven’t heard a non-religious or non-grifter argument about AI safety, so far. But I shouldn’t conclude it’s crazy. I haven’t heard of an argument for effective altruism that is even remotely altruistic or one that is not a legitimization of libertarian-style support for social injustice. But maybe I only heard crappy arguments.

Obviously, they are the ones we must trust.

Nice little Easter egg for you to only discover when you travel to a different country with your kid, or for your kid to discover alone when they travel! A family size surprise of the worst kind!

It works if you get a local sim card. The hardware is there. Just not allowed to roam.

Unless the businessman arrives with Blackwater, businessman either becomes the fisherman, or fish bait and a warning for future businessmen with similar intentions.

The post you replied you clearly asked why insecure argument handling should be discovered after release. You widened that to mean “every security hole must be discovered prior to release” which made it a much easier argument to attack.

The point stands that the insecure argument handling could’ve been discovered by a security audit even when every security hole may not have been found.

And we solve this by splitting into 2 PRs that still merge at the same time. Oh, super useful!

Only if your reviews are so shallow that you don’t try to reason about the state of PR B merged to PR A, which would then be merged to main, and your real problem is just GitHub UI failing to handle a giant PR, which we all know that this feature is attempting to help with.

Absence of evidence is not an evidence for absence of something.

Talented, technical geek, with absolutely no interest in fitting in or being liked, spending a ridiculous amount of time to meticulously analyze a piece of software they clearly liked at some point, to make a list of all the ways it can be improved. Brutally honest, not for being brutal’s sake, but out of principle and out of respect for the golden rule.

OpenCode is my daily driver. And I have mad respect for the team. Basically, the only “AI people” I trust and follow. But the article is accurate. Session management leaves a lot to be desired. And most of the session management issues just need a simple 2-pointer state tracking algorithm. Its model-specific prompts are ridiculously long, and the fact that someone had enough confidence to “prompt-engineer” them and configure a harness with them is somewhat silly.

And I am not sure if your comment can be explained by naivety, unless you were under a rock for the last year, and missed all the events that showed they are not capable of “being the one that guides it.”

How many accidental private source code uploads did you read about? I heard exactly one. It was Anthropic. It was so bizarre I thought it was intentional. That kind of unserious behavior is somewhat unimaginable.

At some point if you are not capable of fulfilling a role that _you deem critical for the society_, yet you don’t acknowledge you fall short - for whatever reason - because it’s not in your interest, I think the benefit of the doubt disappears.

The calculation is about tokens/gigawatt and $/gigawatt.

This thread is filled with non-sequiturs.
