Probably I am arrogant bastard, but after AI I feel just like a superhero in an origin story that has just discovered its superpower. My appetite for knowledge and understanding is voracious. I have many side projects on which I am progressing. Just waiting for some properly uncensored local models to dab into chemistry and biology.
Do I feel threatened - I don't know. I know there are turbulent times ahead. I know that being a codemonkey is no future option. But I see huge potential in the technology and I want to be part of it.
I think that AI hurts not the smart people, but Taleb's IYI class. The guys and galls for which credentialism was important.

We are civilization that split the atom and have warnings on peanut butter that it has peanut allergens inside. Technology doesn't diminish stupidity. It just makes it more advanced.

Absolutely true. But having reliable backup strategies that actually work in real world conditions is not the IT industry strong side.

That would help only if life is the goal of the universe and not emerging behavior. Also as and IT - backup - hahahaha.

If we live in a simulation I do hope God's agent doesn't mess with the fine structure one.

So Opus has deleted some files after permission denials. There were stories about Codex finding ways to work around sudo prompts (trying to see if the user uses the same password for the db as root or from wsl).
Do you have any other chuckle worthy stories of surprising emergent agent capabilities?

If they are gypsies - this all makes sense. And yes ... by the time they are 22 for the poorer and unintegrated part of them - which is the one that tends to flock to the west - it is normal to be on their Xth kid - although thankfully in the last years their birth rates collapse, and they participate more in the society.

I think it relates to anything. Are you sure that the gold exists? That it is not "fractional reserve" or that it is in storage in USA that refuse to send it back (in the case of Germany).
The argument that if this asset is not in your hands then you may turn to own some very expensive toilet paper in times of crisis is not outlandish. Not saying that is good idea to overpay for physical gold.

Deepstate are as reliable as the numbers that Ukraine MOD produced about their AA effectiveness. ISW are marginally better. How many hours per day there is electricity in Kiev is better indicator how the war is going. Not saying this sarcastically - Russia right now is doing their best to keep Ukraine in the dark. So by how dark is - you can think of how the war is going. Also this hurts their GDP quite a lot - it makes the funding gap even bigger.

You are missing Bernie Madoff and SBF. Fraud happens.
So both today's big announcement - Opus and Codex - the teams claim that models have build themselves. Do you believe it? Personally I take it with a grain of salt big enough to create the brine bath for a solid 2-3 quarts of ice cream. Anyway as a heavy Codex user I intend to be slightly less rude with it. Just in case.
There were always women into gaming. What happened during gamergame that we get entrysts. And the game journalists bowed to them declaring practices and parts of games "problematic". Now gaming was always egalitarian - you either can consistently railgun someone from half a map away or you are pathetic subhuman. And if you are pathetic subhuman you shut up. Now suddenly we had whining about trash talk in chats and not having black people in medieval poland. And the game developers and journalists took their side. Now the ruin did came for the AAAA industry, but it was completely avoidable. Just give the people that consume and pay for your fucking products what they want.
