I don't know if this is apocryphal or not but that machine was supposedly named Clementina because it could 'play' part of "Oh my Darling, Clementine".
Found this cool video doing a little sampling but I have yet to find a sample of a Ferranti Mercury playing the tune. https://youtu.be/CiEw5kmRvvs?t=45
Edit: Here are some engineers playing games with 'her': https://toobnix.org/w/3doJWfhE3H1D5oVg2DYQQJ
I mean, focus on whatever you want, but he hasn't done anything Linus Torvalds hasn't done (at least similar enough).
I would be curious as to what your prompt ends up being (and the reply obviously) if you choose to do so.
I'm not disagreeing with you completely, but I would like to know more about what other factors you would consider to have been more impactful. I don't know that you really need hippies around to get that kind of 'california capitalist' mentality either tbf.
Try to understand that there is no individual ownership over turns of phrase, and that they tend to shift around over time. Bugs Bunny turned Nimrod from a byword for a competent hunter into an insult.
This is natural and all of your favorite words have or will be subject to it as long as there are humans to communicate with them.
The way I see it, it's a bit like putting up a job posting for 'somebody who knows SSH'. While that is a useful skill, it's really not something you can specialize in since it's just a subset within linux/unix/network administration, if that makes sense.
I looked but tbh I am on mobile and I have a hard time with this media in this medium.
This is not a productive conversation.
an example seed: "create a prompt for an agent that will help me reduce prompt token usage and speed up results without losing necessary complexity. can you build a prompt that I use to this end?"
After a bunch of recursive prompting:
"Optimize the provided 'Original Prompt' into an 'Optimized Prompt'.
The 'Optimized Prompt' must:
- Be token-efficient. - Be maximally clear, precise, unambiguous, with direct instructions. - Be ideal for advanced AI model processing. - Preserve the 'Original Prompt's' core intent and task. - Retain 'Original Prompt's' details, nuances, analytical requirements, output formats, and complexity, without oversimplification.
Apply this optimization method:
1. From 'Original Prompt', eliminate: conversational filler, redundancy, pleasantries, self-references. 2. Use: strong, direct action verbs. 3. Be: specific, direct. Replace vague terms with precise equivalents. 4. Clearly state: task, context, constraints, output format. Explicitly define implied formats (e.g., list, JSON, steps). 5. Logically group related instructions. 6. Ensure 'Optimized Prompt' is a direct command."
It's brutishly simple, but part of the (imho self evident) process is editing the prompts as you continue to feed it back in on itself.
I'm going to make an equally supported and valid statement here and say AI is clearly a net positive to humanity in its current form, and almost certainly all future forms.
You should consider providing a less hyperbolic point to argue if you are looking to have any kind of productive or healthy discussion on the internet.
Pre-industrial growth that was driven largely by settler colonialism does not make for a useful economic model since we're unlikely to find any new continents any time soon. To say nothing of the horrors inflicted on native populations, but I suspect that's not a group you'd be too sympathetic towards.
I would recommend you stop confusing your own willful ignorance with lack of evidence. You could take a cursory look at the wikipedia page on Australia's response to the GFC as a case study in government doing it's actual job, instead of this fantasy of auto-regulation via free market competition. You can have a bit of both and reap outsized benefits as has been the case for every great to super power sunce the dissolution of the USSR.
For a given definition, it doesn't. At least, not without vastly understating the gov's role (some might say responsibility) to step in and monopoly bust, regulate strategically important sectors of the economy, and generally try to provide human-scale stability to a system that tends to want to burn itself and polite society down more than a caffeinated toddler with an outlet, a fork, and a dream.
Anyway, I put the process (quieted typing) up literally yesterday: https://quietedtyping.fyi
It's just taking ten minutes out of your day to do a little 'writing [as] thinking'. I have found it helpful, maybe others will do so as well.

- Worker's social club, complete with pool
- subsidized housing at cost, rent-to-own
- a wholesale "majorista" style shop where they'd buy in bulk and sell to workers' families at cost.
Say what you want about the fault of paternalism, at least they were thinking about employee welfare. Argentina's economy sucked at the time and they had to close. The factory now produces cigarettes under a phillip morris subsidiary (iirc).
