I’ve heard “join the discord” pretty often too

Yeah, but that would be like launching a nuke. The whole world is dependent on TSMC for like… All of modern life

Luxury space communism is what they have in Star Trek.

You can make anything with no human labor, so why shouldn’t everyone have access to whatever luxuries they want? Obviously there are practical limits for the common good, like everyone can’t have a yacht, there’s not room and it’d destroy the oceans. But everyone could share a fleet of yachts

Instead, people work for social status, and because humans just like working

What I’m referring to is what if we mastered automation and shared the fruits of robotic labor freely? When machines can build and maintain themselves outside of the gravity well with no human involvement, we’d have an exponentially scaling pool of workers and basically infinite raw materials

Then we’d be free to do the jobs we want to do, not what has to be done or what has a high work to reward ratio

I’m sorry, I don’t know what you mean. Reply understanding to stop

Leave if you can. Healthcare will be better almost anywhere else… Things are bad

I think it’s funnier, sometimes less clever is funnier

Zoom in, it gets really grainy. AI isn’t generally grainy

Tomorrow the Epstein files will be released, 70% of all politicians and most billionaires will be arrested for pedophilia, and we will come together as one to build luxury space communism

Don’t wake me up.

China seems to be closest though, if they reach viable modern CPUs first…

But realistically, I think China made a deal with the West to hold off on Taiwan until we have at least one modern chip fab working in the US and Europe

Yeah, that’s what I mean

Doesn’t matter if China’s chips are economically viable if they’re the only ones making advanced chips…

And even then, it’ll need to be commerically viable to compete with the West.

Well, unless they invaded Taiwan…

Kids don’t use file systems anymore, by the time they grow up they’ll be begging an AI to pretty please open the file… No, I know it’s there, I just downloaded it… I’m sorry, okay, just open the most recent download…

Oh, I’d feel nauseous lol, those nuggets are so gross and I don’t really like the fries

Unironically, yes. Creations turning against their creators, classic. The wizard was probably set up as the personalization of some force or ideal, like a Greek god

And let me guess… This led events that set up some kind of call to adventure for a hero, who initially ignores the warning signs until something bad happens, then he goes on a journey through a wider world than he could ever have imagined, and after defeating the villain and/or ending the threat he returns home changed?

That’s a total shot in the dark, I have no idea what movie you’re talking about, but in modern storytelling we usually have an A and B plot. And the heroes journey is by far the most common story in media

How close was I? And what’s the movie?

I’m a huge fan of AI, but come on… It’s being used in the most reckless and insane ways. It’s so insanely destructive to society

Our experience so far has not been that AI is capable of or going to replace our labor. However, the threat of AI and the use of AI mandates has been used already to drive down wages, institute speedups, and generally degrade our working conditions.

Have you noticed how a lot of software has been getting worse, like way buggier? How three times now, huge swaths of the Internet have gone down?

It’s because tech companies keep laying people off. They’re already operating a skeleton crew, and now they’re trying to replace portions of that skeleton crew with AI

And already, it’s not working.

At this rate, remotely complicated software is going to become a lost technology

I always say it’s 12…

It’s kinda true, but incomplete. There’s twelve stories that we’ve told each other since antiquity

Holy shit, you’re a fucking retard. Like of the “people look and laugh” scale. I’m unironically going to take your response to share with technical people in my life to laugh over

And no hate to the mentally ill, I’ve never laughed at them. I laugh with them, because they’re delightful and love joy to an extent that leaves me jealous

But you’re not a real person. You’re a joke, if your ego was two sizes smaller I’d be gently explaining to you how no number of code katas would result in Microsoft XP

So is semiconductor design, application of transistors to implement logic gates, etc. We still have people who can do that, not very many, but enough. Not many people work in assembly language anymore, either…

Yeah, that’s a lost tech. We still use the same decades, even century old, frameworks

They’re not perfect. But they are unchangeable. We no longer have the skills to adapt them to modern technology. Improvements are incremental, despite decades of effort you still can’t reliably run a system on something like RISK.

Okay, but if it’s writing 800 lines at once, it’s making design choices. Which is all well and good for a one off, but it will make those choices, make them a different way each time, and it will name everything in a very generic or very eccentric way

The AI can’t remember how it did it, or how it does things. You can do a lot… Even stuff that hasn’t entered commercial products like vectorized data stores to catalog and remind the LLM of key details when appropriate

2000 lines is nothing. My main project is well over a million lines, and the original author and I have to meet up to discuss how things flow through the system before changing it to meet the latest needs

But we can and do it to meet the needs of the customer, with high stakes, because we wrote it. These days we use AI to do grunt work, we have junior devs who do smaller tweaks.

If an AI is writing code a thousand lines at a time, no one knows how it works. The AI sure as hell doesn’t. If it’s 200 lines at a time, maybe we don’t know details, but the decisions and the flow were decided by a person who understands the full picture
