Yeah, that's what I keep coming back to. Bro got into this to make 3d games go fast. Being one of the most important people in the AI revolution is way out of his depth.

Grab your balls and write it in C. AI agents write safe code and there's no need to wait for the type checker.

I had a smartwatch for tracking my running workouts. A.COROS Apex Pro. At some point I got the ick on these things because they ruthlessly mine your personal data. So I vibe coded a fitness app for my phone and just used that with a chest strap.
Most of the time that's fine but for specific workouts it's less than ideal because I'd like to glance at my wrist and see my pace or whatever.
I resolved to get an open source watch so I could upload my own firmware but the options have been... trashy.
Then Opus 5.5 came out and it seems that every watch is open source if you try hard enough. Within a weekend it reverse engineered the COROS smart watch's firmware and now I'm uploading my own very sick program to it for tracking my workouts instead.
I don't really love the idea of every one of these companies finally investing in solid device security to close this off long term, but for now I'm enjoying having freedom.

The price seems to be having kids with like half a dozen different women? Sounds like hell.

Nothing. I'm just using the opportunity to say even highly influential billionaire CEOs can't get away with fucking around. Even if they're in SV where everyone is supposed to be sexually enlightened.
Jensen Huang just got busted having an affair with what's probably a Chinese spy.
Jensen is a wifeguy of 41 years. In some sense he probably never stood a chance.
Blow-ups like this reinforce my bias that while poly/open relationships exist, you can't get away with them if you're a high status man. Sure, if you're a billionaire CEO, your wife may say she's okay with a discreet affair but she'll deny it and throw you to the wolves (and take you to the cleaners) if it ends up on the front page of the NYT. Similarly, women having affairs with married billionaire CEOs may be driven crazy by being #2 bitch in a way that they wouldn't really mind if the man had normal status. And if they are okay with it, it's probably because they're spies.
Now Jensen's wife hasn't said anything about divorcing him, but he's publicly apologizing to her and his family for this, so I presume they at least need to keep up the appearance that they're not poly. Since poly is low status.
Am I wrong?

No no that would just be the background for waxing poetically about whether or not the Korean state is legitimate.

One day I hope to write a post like this about South Korea.
Do you know how many billions in foreign aid they get? We would have no beef with China if not for South Korea. Do you think all of those laundromats in DC are Korean owned by chance? Literally handling our dirty laundry. Wake up sheep.
My agent wasn't cooperative at first so I switched to an account with cyber permission and told it (honestly) that I own the watch and I wanted to rid it of spyware, so it agreed to figure out how the android app did firmware updates. Then it analyzed a copy of the firmware on the Internet to figure out the hardware. Then we modified the stock firmware so it would dump the full contents of memory to an emmc if I trigger a key combination. With all of that it was able to write a detailed spec. Then I handed that off to my regular account and it happily iterated on building a new firmware from scratch.
Kind of surprised the smartwatch company didn't require signed firmware updates. Guessing that won't last very long. Which is ironic because I would happily keep buying their watches if I could continue flashing my own firmware.
