But the interesting thing is that, statistically what they are serving maximizes their revenue. So they have the best version of what they want to do, and it keeps maximizing their objectives (profit).

The problem is that such objective became somewhat perpendicular to what some people like. It's funny but maybe watching that stupid Ad, somehow makes you do something that in the end makes them profit.

It's pretty solid.

Too sad it didnt win the VCS wars.

But nowadays I'm extremely lazy to attempt to learn this new thing. Git works, I kind of know it and I understand its flow.

I remember at that time, my "mentor" suggested to memorize all the "keywords" from C (which were few). But given my bad memory I had to constantly look at the book.

Aaah how times have changed.

Say in 10 years, once we have things like a Claude Mythos (or better) model running on "real time" at the speed of how Taalas runs ollama now.

I have a feeling that "cyberspace" (however we want to call it) won't matter anymore. "Computing" won't matter anymore. Say, I want to implement a Massive Multiplayer Lemmings like game, it's done at the snap of my fingers. Say I want to find a way to "crack" X software? done. Say I want to find a vulnerability in Y website? easy peasy. Say I want to build a "Powerpoint" clone, done (not that it matters, as making a presentation will be as simple as saying "Mythos5, make a presentation about X,Y,Z with nice and meaningful transitions".

Same with music, video, images, etc. Once everything can be created automagically... what happens? (say, "Make me a film like the original John Wick but with the wit and style of Kingsman, make a young Sean Connery the main actor).

So, ultimately cyberspace will be so chaotic with the current "rails", that it will be completely different to what we know now.

At the risk of being booed here in HN, I also have a hunch that the more we go there, the more stuff like "trustless computing" or "proof of N" (having to SPEND something, some real life, finite effort, to do things online) will gain more force. Somehow, Hashcash was conceived to deal with spam/automation type of attacks, so I assume a version of that will have to be used to "structure" Cyberspace in the future.

My hypothesis is that this will take us back to "the real world" due to "surfeit": Kind of what happens once you add a "trainer" to a game and suddenly you have all the money/resources, and then it becomes boring. Once the "digital" stuff is solved, we will go back to the real world.

Very exciting times.

I understand people from the US will have an anti-Chinese reaction, but for us in the "third world" that can use both techs, the openess is always good.

I even think an LLM trained to communicate using telegram style might even be faster and way cheaper.

My LinkedIn was full of people opening for work. Pretty sad.

There are A Lot of businesses thar are happy to burn cash for a false sense of security. They don't know better.

But the alternative is "not having Email", because Email can be used by the same bad actors.
