Part of that is critical thinking and projecting forward / simulating potential issues, and part of that is that memory which in humans we probably would see as "wisdom".

I don't know if that's a fundamental limitation of LLMs, or, rather, that this can be solved moving forward with better memory systems, harnesses, and context windows.

Also consider: if "AI can do all cognitive and physical work, at human level or better", doesn't that simply entail the AI being able to run 'autonomously, indefinitely' and 'independently of instructions' in the same way as the current state of being run by human overseers?

If we take the initial premise as plausible, for the sake of this argument his thesis seems to hold together very well.

Accusing him of a pump & dump or being in on the scam is really unfair imo, he's been working very hard (and publicly) on Clawd, and has visibly had to deal with a massive influx of attention / hype and a wave of crypto grifters trying to force unofficial tokens down his throat. It must be hugely stressful.

The Ralph & Gastown devs embraced (but did not create) associated crypto projects (Yegge later distanced himself after criticism). They made their software, it gained in popularity and crypto bros latched on of their own accord. It would be interesting to see how many highly principled hners here would turn down mid six figures being offered to them for a tweet or a post acknowledging a token..

As an aside: meme tokens are an attention economy mmog - you may not like the game, but I can assure you those who play it know the rules.

Just started blogging again, starting the cadence with a weekly '5 quick links for devs' post just to make sure I'm building the habit.
