ChatGPT was the fastest growing software of all time not that long ago. Citing a bad AI product as evidence for lack of demand is saying the failure of the Homer car was due to the fact that people don't like automobiles.

I'd argue that in this case, Nvidia is accelerating a flywheel to try and reach critical velocity rather than manufacturing demand.

By that logic, there are no red states, only red hinterlands.

If it was true, it would only be a very recent phenomenon, and it still doesn't match anecdotal reports from people I trust. If you have data to back up your assertions you should share it, otherwise you come across as very sus.

Paperclip maximizers follow instructions, just not in a way that you want.

I've used the $200 dollar Anthropic plan @ Opus4/4.1, 4.5 and 4.8, and the $200 OAI plan from GPT5-6, and at every point in time my anecdotal experience is that the OAI limits are FAR more generous. I could consistently burn my we

That's not how it works. Look at AlphaEvolve. The model generates hypotheses and designs experiments, and the results of those experiments are fed into the next round, with notable results percolated up to humans for refinement.

The western labs are very AGI pilled, and their public models are distilled down from larger research-only models that are uneconomical to serve directly. They could (and probably will) start distilling models for more niche use cases event

Any bench that puts GLM 5.3 ahead of 5.6 Sol is highly sus. They've been my two daily drivers since release, and I like GLM 5.3, but it's definitely not better than Sol, it's more ~Terra, while being significantly slower.

I've lost a lot of respect for Cory around his stance on AI. He did great work raising awareness on enshittification, and his language around AI (reverse centaurs) has value, but his extrapolations are so nakedly political and wrong.

AAA gaming is cooked, and AMD/Intel is plenty able to support indie to AA needs.

No wizardry involved friend, it's pretty clear to see from the way things are playing out now and the history of technological innovation/automation. You are 100% an old man waiving his fist at clouds/time, you will go down

> AI music is not and cannot be inspirational. It's the absolute opposite of it. And serious musicians know it. So, your answer to "people are doing a thing" is to just say "no they're not! NANANANA can't he

You're projecting, and there are plenty of people in crafts who are using AI output as an input to their own works who are having a blast. AI images make amazing collages/photobash inputs, and AI music is useful to sample or use a

There will always be communities of people who want to handcraft everything, who will be available to commiserate about the struggle of their craft. We still have people doing crazy shit like collecting/smelting iron by hand and smithi

The nuance here is that people aren't good at evaluating their own work/progress, and use recognition as a proxy milestone of their own improvement. No matter how good they get, they don't "feel" good until someone

A CNC machine will beat a whittler every time. If a craft is only about technical execution, AI is going to own it. The crafts that are safe are the ones that elicit/depend upon a complex human response that's not easily predictab

This article's note about game making 100% wrong, games are highly "complex" and there's a lot of iterative refinement and experimentation that is involved in "finding the fun." You can't just throw a pot

I don't care about AI bands and wouldn't listen to the music by itself for pleasure, but for video game music? Or soundtracks to sub-AAA/hollywood productions that can't afford someone who's won an Oscar/Golden

Given the witch hunts around AI creative output, nobody who has put in work to avoid the stigma is going to out themselves.

Lots of people still make bad music that other people still manage to enjoy (a lot of it has gone multi-platinum!) even though they're not Mozart or Bach.

Imagine any Ansel Adams picture was taken by a monkey. Are they suddenly trash? Imagine your favorite haiku was instead created by a parrot mashing together overheard snippets from its owner. Again trash? The argument gets frighteningly lit

I was pointing out that your "art requires intent" statement is built upon a house of cards as written.

You're baking a lot of philosophy into "creativity requires intent." We can't even prove qualia are universal, which is a prerequisite for "intent" beyond "neurons firing" (what about hypothetical al

The issue is discovery and perverse incentives. Search algorithms have needed a major overhaul for a while, and previously the existence of a thing was a proxy for effort, which some people use as a proxy for value (dizzying, I know). Now p

Anthropic is shady too my guy. Claude Code will frequently re-ask you to turn on data sharing even after you've said no, it's dark patterned like a task approval, and once you turn it on it's harder to turn off than OAI makes

Instagram seems like their most engaged property. FB seems to be devolving into groups + marketplace, and WhatsApp gets a lot of play but I don't think it's the best ad serving/bot surface. I don't think Insta alone can
