when the going gets weird the weird turn pro.
rules are there to serve power
people aren't rational actors. given your work passes a basic functional bar, if you are well liked, your work will be valued. if you are not liked, people will pick your work apart. these mechanisms feed back on one another but your narrative leads me to believe you /have/ forged meaningful relationships and are more well liked than you realize.
and this is exactly why you will be seen as disposable and the first to go when layoffs happen.

personal relationships are very important, arguably more important that your raw performance.

you don't know me very well lol.

You're right of course when you're talking about people. I believe there is a lot of low-hanging fruit for optimizing the performance of these models. that's actually what my startup is doing.

Re:GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @01:51AM (#48828036)
if you give me a smarter model I will find a more complex problem for it to work on that will require an exponential number of sub-agents.

the smarter the model the more capable it is to marshal resources to accomplish the goal.

this means you don't need a smart person to be able to take advantage of this. a smart model will be able to do the same.

Re:GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse on Monday July 06, 2026 @08:10PM (#48812135)
the economics of this are a little counterintuitive.

is there a market saturation point for intelligence? how about for software? it seems like the more you have the more you want because you're trying to do more things.

as the models get smarter I get busier because I'm doing more things...

he had great taste in metal. most of the tracks were adapted (now classic) speed/thrash metal.

if you think AI is slowing down, you may not be smart enough to tell the difference anymore.
very cool. I was trying to implement a MP4 encoder in webGPU recently by porting sections of ffmpeg (NOT EASY).

it's for this:

which uses a the wasm build of ffmpeg.

one of the reasons I prefer deno is the availability of indexeddb (and all the other great stuff that comes with it out of the box)

given enough time you may regret every single one of them.
Re:Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass on Wednesday February 11, 2026 @07:29PM (#46983275)
yes, avoiding EU fines and ensuring availability there is most likely the motivating factor behind the change.
Re:Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass on Wednesday February 11, 2026 @07:03PM (#46983019)
you counter this by using an id verified service like login.gov or okta verify.

That's the endgame and what the EU really wants. No poasting unless they can arrest you for inconvenient memes.

love this. I've been working on something similar for months now

it's a gpgpu decentralized heterogeneous hpc p2p compute platform that runs in the browser
