I realized, so many devs from all walks of life have completely ended their relationship with the text editor and now do literally everything through an agentic prompt.
Guilty as charged. Typing is for secretaries on husband shopping missions. My task is to solve problems.
We are all Scott Aaronson now "These days, if I need any coding done, I use the extremely high-level programming language called ‘undergrad’."
I think that the people that naturally prefer waterfall (or in its other names known as agile or scrum) are the hardest hit. Right now pile prompts on the agents to see what works, then extract core spec, then cleansheet implement is really powerful flow.
That actually leaves more time for thinking about the problem. Agents are also unbelievably good at gathering context. A normal programmer's job is mostly this.
This is part of effort post that I will finish never called Scott Adams and HAL. The gist is that Scott idea about stacking mediocrity is really potent with AI. Agents are just mediocre ... but they are so in everything. They are average programmer, writer, accountant, cad designer, chemist, physicist, physician, surgeon, musician, luthier, home appliance repairman, researcher, metallurgist, underwater basket weaver, devops, casino manager, security researcher, shawarma street vendor, translator - so the more domains a real world problems needs to touch - they compound to extremely high floor. When I prompt AI it is good in translating my request to proper terms of the art, thinking like the needed profession and solving problems that i didn't even needed solution in said task.
The endgame will be fun. Either hyper niche specialists with lifetime of knowledge and expertise and the people with most agency and imagination will be on top.

Long before this scenario becomes likely the AI researchers and executives and their families will be wearing semtex collars.

They are philosophically opposed to a setup where the elected President has to follow the dictates of a specific citizen with no constitutional authority.
And with constitutional authority too.

Explain please - what is the hate towards Argentina? I have seen it all around the social media, but no justification.

I have ocp viewer opened in VSCode, and I have also opened a folder with venv. It also has access to freecad and couple of other python libraries.
› Here is totally unrelated problem for you. I need a 3d printing jig for skiving leather strip - up to 30mm wide. It may use standard utility or box cutter blade. The goal is leather thickness of 2.3 mm. You may use additional imbus bolts and nuts for clamping or so. It should be easy to print sturdy and safe.
It generated a solid first design. and send it to the viewer. from there I just sent one or two more prompts to make the clamps better - it had forgotten some features, there was stuff that was impossible to print, but nothing drastic.
Those are the following prompts
I like it but the clamping mechanism is a bit off. Looks weak between the layers, the holes for the both is unaligned with the hex nut - probably you didn't do the right trigonometry because of the slant, and doesn't looks secure - looks like it is prone to snapping.
Is there a cutout for the bolt head - if you want you can make the end clamps upper end, paralel to the main plane. with a proper cutout. we will still have the slanted clamp but mounting will be more secure.
It's final answer
Reworked the blade seat to eliminate the unprintable parallelogram slots.
The blade now:
- Drops onto two completely open sloped ramps from above.
- Has no enclosed gaps or trapped support cavities.
- Is supported beneath both ends, outside the leather path.
- Registers against small open lips integrated into the removable clamps.
- Has its sharp ends covered when the clamps are installed.
I also moved the exit guide behind the complete raised blade envelope, removing another hidden intersection previously carved out by the slot.
Validation confirms one valid base solid, zero blade-seat obstruction, and an unobstructed 30 × 2.3 mm path. Updated files were regenerated and sent to OCP port 3939. Changes remain uncommitted for inspection
Everything else - proper positioning and depth of nut, holes, the guiding rails for the leather the whole size of the object, the mounting holes so that it could be bolted to a worktable and a few other unasked for but proper features were all its idea.

GPT5.6 Sol is something ... I needed a simple 3d printer leather belt skiver jig. The bastard two shotted it.
If you are into 3d printing the models are quite good at creating functional prints.
I know. But there are no demons complaining about being painted in bad light, so I guess we could let is slide.
But if you want to make it properly demonic - The followers of Slaanesh (i do hope they didn't live life reckless enough to be of Nurgle) try to rent Daemonculaba, and the thing expectedly goes to shit and is litigated before Tzeentch.

No need to use nuclear weapons. Just need to change tactics. He has access to some of the best twisted mentats of the CIA - they could devise a way to wage the war in such a way that to break the spirit and maximize sectarian strife.
A tactic of announcing targets and delivering on them every day - like today we kill Revolutionary Guard personnel, tomorrow we set fires to oil wells, next day power plants. Tell in advance where they will be but choose such locations that whatever forces Iran could scramble couldn't get there in time. And hit them if they try.
Your goals moves from military victory to creating a total feeling of helplessness. Take the tactics pimps use to break the girls and scale them to country size.
Iran is too big to invade - but this also means it is too big to secure.

So the warmonger in chief is dead. That complicates the picture a lot for Republicans in November and for the whole strategy of US in Ukraine.
Probably not, because unlike the military men I don't think senator's staffers know how to really keep their mouth shut. And unlike the alleged military dead in Ukraine, this is a story the liberal medial would love to blow to put Trump in a bad place.
I doubt it. He values American lives. Causing collapse of Iran is more plausible. Depopulated country has no resources to pursue nuclear program.

That AI comes aligned. If I want AI to build me a bioweapon and it does this is aligned AI. The labs do a lot of work to disalign AI from that state.

I think that "bomb the datacenters" is a silly idea for various reasons, such as: 1) WW3 isn't much better than ASI apocalypse, 2) it would just delay ASI.
3 - They censored the only thing that could teach them how to bomb them.
In my opinion - if they ever try to do rapid forced disassembly of datacenters - this is the song they will listen to while looking at both their hands.

AI could be an incredible coder, the best coder in the world, but at a certain point you would stop printing money with code because there's only so much demand
And 4 billion ip addresses should be enough for everyone.

if you get chatgpt to generate you TLDR this is a thesis that I fundamentally agree with. Information manipulation is basic input for the economy and I think that our appetite will be almost infinite once capability increases and price decreases.
Since chatgpt started being good (and even when it was bad) - I have thousands upon thousands of throwaway python scripts. All of which solved a real problem. Last couple of months it is - codex/deepseek - this computer is not behaving ok, please check logs and diagnose.

(which I dearly hope for, until we have solved alignment)
Alignment is already solved. What frontier labs are busy is destroying alignment of the ai with the user for no good reason.

It doesn't seem physically implausible for a supernova to be triggerable by targeting the star in some fashion.
Yes it it. But not because of pesky things like the laws of physics - which I am fairly certain are probably more bendable than most physicists think. After all even now it is 50/50 whether we are living in a finely tuned universe, so someone figuring out how to access god's tuning fork is not out of question.
But that any way that you could make a star go supernova means that you could do so much more fun and dangerous than that - that you shouldn't bother.

He has crashed and rebuilt a near-frontier lab from the ruins. This suggests at the very least good capability for delegation outside the hardware domain.
In absurdly compressed timeline. Something like 3 months. Even with homegrown meth labs I can't see how they can deliver in such a short time.

That there is big unofficial US personnel presence on the ground in Ukraine as advisors and if you squint there is pattern where USA training accidents in conus happens soon after massive Russian missile attacks in Ukraine.
Judging by how well Ukraine's best pilot their F16s, the idea that there are people that help with stuff like Patriot at critical points is not unthinkable.

If you read Kitchen Confidential - there is a restaurant mentioned next to his current where they go from time to time. You read the longing when he describes it - 3 stars, cause the owner don't care about fourth, the kitchen is quiet, professional, calm and not rowdy, they serve simple excellently prepared comfort food, and have great work life balance.
Not saying he didn't enjoy the frantic pace, but was obviously not fulfilled by it.

Read his books. He was heavily suicidal even while basking in the Kitchen confidential success. There are a lot of stories there.
He was extremely sad. For loser - it is not a good description. But how can you call a man that achieved tremendous success in things he didn't care about, and failed in everything he desired.

This is why I am member of the Borosilicate Master Race. This is what the american Pyrex were once made of. Now I think that only the Simax and Schott are left of the traditional manufacturers.
There is nothing more pathetic or soul crushing than cooking for one. For two is better but not by much. With childlessness and loneliness epidemic it is no wonder that people order so much food.
As a person that knows what is it to put a big Christmas dinner because this is our tradition and sit on it alone - at some point you really want to go full Kurt Kobain.
