It's clear you are not considering the long-term effects of labor policy. If we want a stronger domestic workforce, the answer is to incentivize Americans to develop the skills we need and to train them when they do not already have th

Hire Americans? Hundreds of thousands of tech workers have been laid off in the last two years. There are many skilled Americans on the job market. Foreign workers are here for the benefit of the United States, not as charity to the rest of

“Even in the Yale study” What? The Yale study is where the almost two year figure came from. Are you just making things up? Did you read what I wrote, or anything in the study?

People were assured that COVID vaccine mRNA would disappear within days and the spike protein would short-lived. Yet Yale-led researchers later detected circulating S1 and full-length spike as late as 709 days after vaccination. They also l

Please do not assert I am making a claim I’m not making. Information-theoretic constraints exist. My comment does not require some specific, hard constraint to have been clearly defined, for my point to be valid. If I were to say you could

Kinda silly to follow your “prove it” challenge with an absurd claim you most certainly cannot prove, much less support with evidence.

There’s no reason to assume frontier-level intelligence eventually collapses all the way onto a midrange consumer GPU. In fact, there are quite a few reasons not to assume that (information-theoretic constraints, etc).

Doesn’t meaningfully change the answer. There are still tons of edge cases with catastrophic failure modes. The transponder won’t tell you about the alligator on the runway, a vehicle where it shouldn’t be, unexpected braking action, a mech

Weather conditions, ground/runway conditions, obstructions, mechanical issues. There are tons of edge cases with huge consequences for error. Same reason self driving is not a solved problem, but with dramatically less tolerance for er

This is a slippery slope, where the number of operators can be allowed to gradually decline until eventually it’s just AI. And given the unreliability of LLMs, this is a grave concern that will undoubtedly lead to the enshittification of cr

160 degrees for a chicken breast is perfectly safe. Considerably lower temperatures can also produce microbiologically safe chicken when combined with sufficient holding time. 165 is a rough rule of thumb, not some magic number like the boi

At this point I feel like the only factor differentiating SOTA models now is who they’re propagandizing you on behalf of (not considering agentic tooling/state management, etc).

Calling my comment a “temper tantrum” is the exact kind of behavior you’d expect of a Redditor. You may be projecting. Einstein’s fame isn’t the problem. It’s the narrative that he is somehow the greatest scientist ever, when it’s just tran

I get really tired of Einstein being portrayed as if he’s the greatest scientist who ever lived, when he doesn’t even belong in that conversation. If Einstein never existed, the fields he was in were already moving strongly in the direction

Uh, I didn't say I stopped using LLM's 6mos to a year ago. I have to for my job, it was just that long ago that I began to understand that they aren't what they seem and definitely aren't a "force multiplier,"

Technical debt and skill atrophy Technical debt due to accumulated excessively verbose, badly architected, often redundant, feature-bloated code which always looks good, even upon earnest review, but actually sucks and becomes extremely dif

I think I might have written a comment similar to yours maybe 6 months or a year ago. I'm not quite sure to respond to these sorts of replies. I have used LLMs/Claude Code quite extensively professionally and was a very early adop

It's really not that much. It's a bit hard to make sense of it not because it's hard to keep track of, but because they are being deceptive and opaque about what you're actually buying, and the thing you're paying f

They're actively trying to use lobbying power to make open weight models illegal. So I'm just not going to use their services at all anymore. I don't think they're a net gain if you're a skilled senior, and the hidd

Tons. To pick the most recent example: I was asking about some allegations relating to the Epstein files, and it used the slogan "Satanic Panic" in a weird way that gave me a vibe of discrediting victims. I'm too young to kno

LLMs are now being aggressively manipulated for propaganda purposes. Powerful people have realized that people believe LLMs, and treat them as authoritative sources of fact. The number of lies, lies by omission, deceptive distortions, and f

It's worse in many ways but also better in one way, which is that buried in all the propaganda and manipulation is usually the truth somewhere in there. Before, the truth was simply not available.

America isn't Ukraine, we are a *massive country with a nuclear deterrent,* wedged between two massive oceans and two friendly countries. Nobody is going to attack us unless we go out into the world creating enemies.
