Yeah, but the risks are massive. Amazon wrote off its Dubai data center, it's a complete loss.
This is a catastrophic event that you can't mitigate except with cold storage offline.
It would be amazing to have working web search again.
AI lies and gaslighting are driving me up the wall. (Good thing I don't have hypertension.)
Datacenters being blown up by drones and rockets in kinetic war is probably what drives demand, not "AI".
All the FM-1 custom firmwares sound like shit, and it's not because the hardware isn't capable. (It's because Claude doesn't have ears and is the shittiest musician in the world.)
> more viable again to build actual analogue hardware
Korg Volcas are analogue and have sold orders of magnitude more devices than any of these boutique brands.
> Mathematics has become a field where results themselves matter less
"Results" in mathematics has always been the proof. (Preferably a beautiful and succinct one.)
Math is supposed to expose the workings of the epistemological foundations of the universe. The result itself (number or formula or whatever) is absolutely irrelevant to math.
(It may be important to physics, chemistry or engineering, but it isn't to math.)
That's absolutely untrue once you want to cash in or cash out crypto.
It has been a few years now. By now you should have realized that AI is for doing stuff at a massive x100 productivity boost and never getting a complete project done. (For some reason there's those "final kinks to iron out", once the AI figures out where it fucked up. Just two more prompt modifications.)
Brick-and-mortar banks are much less centralized than crypto exchanges.
> if you spend x2 the effort on the very hard stuff you can now do the very easy part kinda faster
Gee thanks, AI dude.
It's much easier to ban or regulate cryptocurrencies than it is paper cash and brick-and-mortar banks.
Turns out the reason crypto was invented isn't "decentralization" at all, it was nerds feeling left out and wanting their own financial instrument grift.
> Yes there's a salad on the menu
The salad is also pretty trash if you use the default dressing.
There's no point to AI's existence if it's dumber and more careless than the baseline stupid human.
> but why should PDFs have encryption built-in to the file format?
So you could open encrypted documents on iOS and Android.
TL;DR - you didn't make a game, but lied on the Internet that you did.
> then you’re experiences are about 8 months behind
I've been hearing this excuse for the past five years, bro.
When will AI finally be a real boy? Gimme a real date so I can make fun of you.
> In what way does it not work?
It doesn't fulfill its primary purpose of being a (fun) game.
When your software crashes and doesn't do what it's told I will think back on the thousands of bullshit tests Claude wrote and feel less bummed out about it. (Maybe.)
I will "tend to" send patches or money. We'll see how the belt-and-suspenders vibe goes.
> Claude Code can build that application in an unprecedentedly short period
Yes, with the caveat that the application doesn't actually work.
P.S. If you wrote non-working applications even before the age of AI, then this is an upgrade, I guess.
> erm, Claude, do it again but leave out the bad stuff and make it good this time, mmkay?
Works for China and Russia. Skill issue.
> or they will implode financially
They are too big to implode.
> The documentation is perfectly comprehensible
That's, like, a stunningly low bar for documentation. "The vehicle is perfectly capable of performing motion, why are you complaining?"
> tend to
Whew, thanks for putting my fears at rest. You're only pwned some of the time, not always.
Rock and metal bangers are all in minor, and they're certainly not "sad".
Yes, modern art is literal trash with no redeemable qualities.
"Complex systems" and "emergent properties" are two absolutely different concepts that are absolutely not related in any way.
"Complex systems" are unstable systems that cannot be solved with simple equations. They do not magically take on properties that they didn't have before.
> I definitely agree that the argument of them being just a probabilistic word matching engine can also be applied to our own brains lol.
You can apply anything you want. You can also apply the argument that our owns brains are just a block of cheese too, if you want. (Nobody will stop you.)
