What if the head of that government was a lame duck president, and those AI companies personally funded his next yacht.

How do you send 500 much less 5000 emails between two people?

Before all the "instant" messaging apps we have now, it was extremely common to use email as some kind of a messaging app.

I have much more than 500 emails exchanged with my brother. Don't know the exact number as I'd need to unarchive very old email folders but... What I do know is that I have way more than 5000 messages exchanged with my brother in Telegram.

Now, granted, it's with my brother and that's since we've had the Internet in the 90s.

Note that it's not too clear why Musk is singled out for as I understand it he eventually declined going to Epstein's island.

Unlike Noam Chomsky for example who has more than four thousands emails exchanged with Epstein and who went to the pedo's island.

How do you tell the difference between a company in their golden age, and a cult? Like would you describe Theranos in their peak the same way you describe Anthropic?

You’re a systems architect that doesn’t know what a function is?

Similar in concept to:

By the old definition, you're right. I can't be a systems architect. But this product exists. I built it. 15-phase pipeline. Multi-service architecture. Production. That's not a contradiction to resolve. That's evidence the definition is changing. You're using a frame that assumes understanding code is required to hold a system together. I'm the proof it isn't anymore.

You understand code.

I promise you with everything I have I do not. I had to ask AI to quiz me to learn what was the simplest term in coding that I did not know. I failed at question 1 - what is a function.

By the old definition, you're right.

It feels sort of clear that any word or timeframe you use can be true if you have really flexible definitions of words like “automated”

Mass AI job displacement is real. The cost of code per engineer is going to go up, even as engineers write 5-10x the code, because AI tools are expensive. The solution is to reduce engineering, and we are seeing that across the board.

Similar things are going to happen in accounting, HR, sales, and other areas. Everyone who is still employed will be more productive, but they will cost more to employ.

Citation needed, and not by a CEO who is looking for a positive spin on the layoffs their company is doing.

If you’re doing agent orchestration, your a coder, regardless the domain.

I wonder if we’ll have to develop strategies for battling confirmation bias. Human review only works if the review is independent.

This seems hard to believe given the administration’s campaign promises to end censorship and protect the first amendment.

This is sarcasm, right?

Hard to tell these days.

I do.

I mean, I do think it is true, I’m not sure if this is like fastest toddler in the preschool or whatever.
