Here’s our bills to ensure your privacy is protected, copyright holders are compensated, electricity and water bills don’t spike because of it, and if your AI tells a kid to kill themself, you go straight to jail. Given all of AI’s many risks, seems like there’s huge political upside to regulation.

The parties have been pretty muddled on AI so far. I wonder if that’ll change before the 2028 primaries

The number of paths is too large (think like a 15-digit number). Instead, you need to count them without enumerating them all. You can use a dynamic programming algorithm for this: the number of paths through a node is equal to the sum of paths going through its parents.

Are you sure devs will decide? There’s a possible future where a tool like Lovable wins because it appeals best to non-devs

In my experience with Claude Code, it’s great at using CLI apps, e.g. gh instead of GitHub MCP. I’ve also let it use the aws CLI to debug issues in production, no MCP server needed.

In addition to their technology/patent edge, they’ve built a platform for writing code for their chips, which increases their moat. That plus rising sales with great profit margins is everything investors like to see

That’s like saying it’s ludicrous that you could ever train a person to be a scholar or reporter by reading books that are already written

The gospel is a political announcement: a new reign where the last become first, the meek inherit the earth, folks who have been deprived of justice are satisfied, the hungry are filled but the powerful are sent away empty. Change is coming…
