These super intelligence are extremely dangerous, just wait until someone vibe-codes critical infrastructure.

As an industry can we please stop using "cyber" to mean cyber-security or even infosec.

Don't worry, we had DreamWeaver, Wordpress and other tools for a long time now but it still did not replace web developers. Build quality tailor made websites that connect to humans and you will be fine.

I was always suspicious of GrapheneOS, thought it was too good to be true. But this makes me reconsider and want to install GrapheneOS.

If electronics become too expensive for consumers, wouldn't the demand for AI also go down because consumers cant access it?

Online communities win because of network effects, members get tied to their addresses and it becomes very difficult to migrate, new members always join the network because that is where everyone is already. Democracies don't necessary depend on network effects, members of political parties can relatively easily migrate to different parties, network effects is not what keeps members part of a political party. And crucially, being part of a political party doesn't mean you'll vote for the party when you cast your ballot.

Some will say that the solution to network effects on the Web is decentralization but decentralization doesn't scale. Because of spam, bots and the fact that not everyone will follow the protocol there is always a need for moderators which is just another word for government and Google's main business model.

Even Capitalism is largely decentralized but it can't function without government. I believe true decentralization (anarchism) is only possible on a small scale where everyone knows each other, very small communities. It's not possible on the global level like in Capitalism or even the Web.

Ironic that both Shannon and Turing layed the foundation for both cryptography and AI. I think it boils down to information which is related to language and text.

When the government actively decides the price of goods and services, it becomes more and more like communism. The government should instead uphold the free market and proactively prevent collusion and monopolies that threaten the free market, this is harder to do in the US because of lobbying though.

This is like responding to symptoms and not addressing the root cause. This is something that should be fixed by supply and demand, buyers should have a choice where to buy and sellers should have a choice how to price their products.

These problems arise when dealing with a monopoly, that undermines the free market and that's a far worse systemic problem and the root cause of these issues. AI has nothing to do with it.

Anyone else think OpenAI and Anthropic should really be one company?

That's not what I mean, even I can invent my own language that only I use, but if that language is not widely deployed and used by other people or LLM models, it's just a toy language.

> I think the cutoff date is closing in on our current now. If models cannot easily become bigger, they will likely advertise using "up-to-date-ness". Maybe they will be merely a few days behind. Or bigger models will make use of smaller but more up-to-date models

But they will still rely on assembly, C, Rust, Linux, HTML, TCP/IP... Doesn't matter how up to date they are, they rely on existing code they have been trained on, they can't just create new languages without the training data.

But you already knew how to code before LLM coding agents, juniors will jump straight into using agents without learning to code by hand, hence the premise of the article.

Yes. Just like globalization created companies like TSMC, AI will do the same with software engineers that don't rely on LLM code generators be cause they can do it cheaply and sustainably.

Another reason is that LLMs train on the existing code we already know, don't expect new programming languages or frameworks this means that the software engineering skills that exist today will be relevant for a long time.

If you agree that there is no absolute truth in complex problems, and that different parties can have different perspectives which are all true/correct from their point of view than this type of systems can be far more inefficient to make decisions compared to a single entity. It's like having multiple CEOs in a company, or design by commity.

> It's too bad these services live forever as cash cows to subsidize crazy ideas and schemes. They should graduate to public utilities once the product stabilizes.

In essence if you take capitalism to it's max you will eventually meet Marx.

> If all the airlines (or whatever business) are doing something like this

Then that would be the main issue and far worse then the algorithms, that's a monopoly or cartel and not a free market. Because in a competitive market prices will be competitive with very little arbitrage.

I don't buy this. Doesn't supply and demand fix this unless of course you are dealing with a monopoly and have no choice. Don't customers find the most affordable goods in the market place and aren't goods priced competitively? What am I missing?

Thank you for the clarification.

A decentralized protocol by definition should not be vulnerable to DDos attacks.

"AI slop is rapidly destroying the WWW, most of the content is becoming more and more low-quality and difficult to tell if its true or hallucinated. Pre-AI web content is now more like the golden-standard in terms of correctness, browsing the Internet Archive is much better. This will only cause content to go behind pay-walls, allot of open-source projects will be closed source not only because of the increased work maintainers have to do to not only review but also audit patches for potential AI hallucinations but also because their work is being used to train LLMs and re-licensed to proprietary."

It doesn't make any sense. Humans are non-fungible AI is not, they are just arbitrarily imposing such limitations, which can impact the workflows of businesses.

"Make something investors want" is the name of the game now and the reason for the disconnect.

You know Emacs still works.

Bitcoin, BitTorrent never go down.

One more reason for P2P decentralized tech.

This exactly why I hate communism.

You have to run the computation. Garry Kasporov is great at this. Its like what is the answer to 1 + 1, you can look it up in a table (memory) or you can understand the concept of addition and run the computation yourself to get the answer (best move).

Memory helps but another way is just to play the best moves every turn based on the position.

Good stuff, but I think the title should be Email address obfuscation. Thank you for sharing I guess, but spammers can now learn from this too (:
