There are a lot of things converging right now. Human brain cell computers. Neuralink Mapping of the fly brain and inserting it into a simulation? Ai

We are potentially moving in the direction of uploading conciousness.

How else are they going to train the pilot wetware for the AI robot army?

You think the war ends if they kill Putin? Medvedev would very likely nuke Kiev 30 minutes later.

Microsoft is currently hiring engineers to rewrite their entire codebase in Rust via vibecoding. Something to the tune of a million lines of code per developer per month.

I think this limitation goes away as long as your code is modular. If the Ai has to read the entire code base each time, sure but if everything is designed well then it only needs to deal with a limited set of code each time and it excels at that.

Worst part is the agency never returns. Anything that goes wrong for the next 500 years is due to that original western intereference. Tragic really.

You may not like it but OP is absolutely right. Whatever the supreme court rules stands. That’s exactly how the current system works unless laws are passed or the constitution is amended. Your response is childish and you should be embarrassed.

That's interesting, from his Wikipedia page:

"Ellison was married to Barbara Boothe from 1983 to 1986.[92] Boothe was a former receptionist at Oracle (RSI at the time).[93] They had two children, David and Megan, who were (as of 2024) film producers at Skydance Media and Annapurna Pictures, respectively"

So he bought studios so his kids could make movies

Haven't heard of this either, obviously not a topic I am up to date on. I'll look into it, appreciate the pointer.

He's not talking about other nations, he's talking about the US and saying if you are not a citizen of a nation, its a foreign nation to you and they have no obligation to let you in.

"For nearly 160 years, the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution has established the principle that anyone born in the country is a US citizen, with exceptions for children born to diplomats and foreign military forces."

I was actually unaware of this. That does seem to be a wedge to maybe support the issue. I'm not arguing one way or another for or against, just an interesting opening I had not seen before.

The ceo of every one of those Ai companies drives an expensive car home to a mansion at the end of the workday. They are set. The average person does not and they cannot afford to play the principled stand game. Its not a question of right or wrong for most, its a question of putting food on the table

Its cravenly amoral until your children are hungry. The market doesn't care about your morals. You either have a product people are willing to pay money for or you don't. If you are financially independent to the point it doesn't matter to you then by all means, do what you want. The vast majority of people are not.

I think that's OP's point though, Ai can do it better now. No searching, no looking. Just drop your question into Ai with your exact data or function and 10 seconds later you have a working solution. Stackoverflow is great but Ai is just better for most people.

Instead of running a google query or searching in Stackoverflow you just need a chatGPT, Claude or your Ai of choice open in a browser. Copy and paste.

"Landing projects for Set Studio has been extremely difficult, especially as we won’t work on product marketing for AI stuff, from a moral standpoint, but the vast majority of enquiries have been for exactly that"

The market is literally telling them what it wants and potential customers are asking them for work but they are declining it from "a moral standpoint"

and instead blaming "a combination of limping economies, tariffs, even more political instability and a severe cost of living crisis"

This is a failure of leadership at the company. Adapt or die, your bank account doesn't care about your moral redlines.

I would think eventually all of the additional positives of the drug will resolve to obesity is bad and reducing obesity has health benefits. Which should be perfectly fine as its valid and results in massive positives in both health and quality of life.

I don't think he did it largely for personnel gain. I do think he personally gained but look at every political decision ever made. There are winners and losers. Almost none of them are 100% based on altruism. How does any Senator enter government with a net worth of a 100k and 5 years later is worth millions on a salary of 174k while supporting 2 households (DC and home state). All of them grift. All of them vote for things that end up killing or harming people. That is the nature of government and the nature of military super powers.

Don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting he was a good person just that he was a person.
