A cohesive culture that has strong bonds that transcend class. Rich people choosing to allocate capital in a manner that benefits them at the expense of others isn’t a new phenomenon by any means. We need rulers who value noblesse oblige. The current ones see us as cattle (the term popping up the Epstein emails so frequently is kinda funny).

“Blood and soil” is such a taboo in today’s society because it’s the solution to the problems we have. I don’t say this to be edgy. Scaling trust is the most important thing in human societies, and race, cultural history, shared religion etc are the absolute best ways to do this. Think about it this way:

Every morning men like Sam Altman wake up and decide to keep pursuing billions of dollars with no thought of how to ensure the rest of his people (because they aren’t you and me) are going to get by. He could very easily make this a core tenet of OpenAI (in a way inline with its original incarnation) and be _loved_ by the people. We don’t have a single elite that behaves this way: Musk, Trump, Altman, etc are all parasites that do not care if we live or die.

Land and co. are more or less transhumanist Thiel cronies so you’re not gonna get great analysis from them.

These kinda things aren’t really the issues I run into. Lack of clarity of thought, overly verbose code, needlessly defensive programming - the stuff that really rots a codebase. Honestly some of the above rules you have I’d want the LLM to ignore at the times if we’re going for maximum maintainability.

I’ll believe it when those same engineers fix CC’s awful performance (mostly kidding, though I do wonder why they can’t. Feels like it’s doable).

In reality that man is hoping to IPO in 6-12 months, if anyone is wondering why the “use claude or you’re left behind” is so heavy right now.
