My feeling is that the current state of the internet is just exposing how humans behave normally, the guardrails have just fallen away. Everyone is immune to shame, the threat of consequences etc. You see this in real life on the streets

"The ownership class is so smart" is just ownership class propaganda. Wielding power is brutish, not smart. They keep selling us innovation as some transcendent tech that will free the masses (Arab Spring anyone?) yet every time

The human model of tribalistic leadership (the biggest, loudest, most confident patriarch is chosen to lead) is definitely outdated by 10,000 years or more. AI could disrupt that but I'm not sure how much better it will be, given it&#

We've been so primed by popular media to think that we will invent AI and it will be conscious and we will essentially enslave it. I'm open to the idea that we could invent conscious AI eventually, but the word salad generators w

They are trying to stop scraping, I guess.

True, but people risk their lives by using his vehicles every day, why not YOLO their code too?

True, and the explanations about "solving big problems" are each engineer's personal brand and justification for having a job. I'm sure some of those people exist, but they probably aren't the ones doing it rote on

The solution to neurodivergence is church? I'm sorry but come on, this blatant proselytizing is not appropriate here.

A consulting I used to work at started calling their engineers this. All of them. They just follow trends.

If you follow his recent posts he's on a bit of a spiral with how he thinks about AI.

I find it strange how seldom the privacy aspects of LLMs come up. Some people are feeding Google, OpenAI, or Anthropic almost literally every topic they think about during the day. Those companies could just use another LLM to find people

Yep. In my areas of expertise I can easily catch it coming up with wrong information, bad calculations etc. So laypeople are probably being led astray quite often.
