How? Nothing stopped cypherpunks in the 90s+ from meaningfully innovating in the space. Table stakes entry for competitive LLMs runs to nation-state budget-levels. There will be no film about 3 genius kids up-ending the trillion dollar olig

"To the manifest glory of Rome, greatest of all cities, forever shall it stand" - circa the collapse of Roman empire. Or something like it. NGL it sounds like so much bleating of the sheep standing outside the abattoir.

What makes it a profession is not just the certification, it's the burden of responsibility for consequences. Your lawyer, accountant, and real engineers carry "we need insurance for this" level of risk in their work, all t

Oh man, if only. The top brass driving this screaming frenzied MORE AI crusade will never face the firing line no matter what happens. It will either be a) "mistakes were made" and nobody is really at fault because we're all

I wish I could better articulate the rage I feel that is accumulating strand by strand, year by year, for the corporate over-lording, abusive, user-hostile, person-hostile practices that are rapidly normalizing across the modern capitalist
