Does anyone know what all the vibe coders and former SWEs that now manage LLM swarms are planning to do when the $1T+ of debt catches up to the AI industry? What is the plan when the cost of inference balloons by orders of magnitude?

It still seems like magic to me that there are people who are good enough at something that they can charge other people money to do it. I've spent my whole life trying to cultivate skills like that and I'm nowhere close.

A handful of companies make shit up about their products in a naked ploy to drum up hype to keep investment capital rolling in: "AI is going to kill us all!" Every relevant scientist on Earth spends half a century warning of civilization-level collapse: "....."

You forced me to Google "was the guy who played the Red Power Ranger an asshole?" and now I'm forced to ask: Did you mean Red Power Ranger who was COVID fund grifter with a Hitler themed clothing line, or the Red Power Ranger who stabbed his roommate to death with a replica medieval sword?

I can't tell if this is stating a problem to be fixed in the future, or reassuring players that the babies are no longer hairless, godless, and tasteless.

Wait, what does woke mean if not that? What is the secret definition that everyone else apparently shares? I knew I was out of touch, but I didn't realise that I no longer know what words mean.

Impressive work for a researcher of that period. Especially when one considers that caloric theory would not be proposed for at least another 11,000 years.

I have a gnawing feeling that the restrictive nature of CM17 may have actually helped me more than it hurt me relative to the overall player base. I don't have XOguri or Rickey, but still made group A finals. CM18 should be easier, but that freedom helps everyone and I worry I won't keep up.

I completely missed the origin of the phrase "travel with Natalie" and its context. So now I am seeing lots of people report on right wing MAGA types lose their mind over the phrase and it is kind of hilarious. Does the context make them look any less unhinged?

This post reminds me that there's a thread I need to do on this theme. A strange frustration I have about LLMs is that a lot of very smart people, who rightly despise them, have turned to very bad, very shallow philosophy to try and dunk on their "intelligence".

Related: fuck "spicy" as a term in general. It's a way for prudes to pretend that they don't get horny by relabeling "sexually explicit" with a cutesy word. So they can pretend THEIR horny is classier/cleaner/better than the horny experienced by the rest of us deviants.

This is spot on. Rather than trying to regulate social media companies and force them to take some responsibility for what is on their platform, politicians are further stripping the public of basic privacy and dignity while handing their data to tech billionaires.

Prediction markets are trying to sell themselves as a form of flexible, personal insurance as a way of making their gambling platforms seem more respectable. In doing so they are hoping everyone has forgotten two things:
