every big corpo guy seems to have completed an ideological shift in the last ~2 years, skipping right past "the customer is always right" straight to "you're seriously our customer? Fuck you"
Why apologize? AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game.
I don't get why devs feel the need to bend over for the few folks who can't accept the reality that AI will be in every single thing - from video games to your fridge (it already is).
Man up.

always wondering what the republican party line is on trump's deregulation of PFAS, like surely it's just transparently at odds with the alternative medicine and "drain the swamp"/anti-corruption parts of his coalition. ostensibly fox quietly sweeps it under the rug?

biggest indictment of the financial viability of AI is the fact that all the biggest players seem to be increasingly moving towards the truth social business model

it sucks so much living in sf having to put up with 10% of the city being covered in these shitty billboards that only exist to do numbers on twitter. i know the performative extravagance is the point i just really think you're all pieces of shit for doing this

lmfao i still remember pl people telling me "no wait but hvm is a serious project hear him out". just embarrassing
in a post-AGI world, people will simply get used to the fact that computers can solve cognitive problems quickly, and beat us in any cognitive domain, just like we're used to computers multiplying large numbers quickly now, or kicking our asses in chess and go. software and math will lose all their scarcity.
"pls create a MMORPG that is like Zelda: Breath of the Wild but with Pokémon instead, let me fly around the world as a Charizard and dive on the water like a Gyarados. give me an executable that I can send to my friends and we'll all be connected to the same world"
you press a button and, 3 minutes later, done
I doubt that won't work by 2027
"pls create a blockchain exactly like Bitcoin except it uses quantum resistant signatures like Lamport, and you can deploy smart contracts in a Lean-like language, and contracts are only accepted if they're formally verified to be correct w.r.t the following specs..."
you press a button and done, you have a hack-proof chain
"in three space dimensions and time, given an initial velocity field, there exists a vector velocity and a scalar pressure field, which are both smooth and globally defined, that solve the Navier–Stokes equations"
you press a button, and done, you get a solution
math is fundamentally easy, and this will break some ppl's worldviews. currently, math seems mystically hard, like chess once was, because we're are animals that struggle with it, only a few of us are capable of adding fractions, let alone working on the edge, so hard problems stand for a long time unsolved, we praise our geniuses.
but it isn't
once computers are doing it, that won't be a thing anymore. theorem proving will be as trivial as multiplying large numbers. the "uh duh but godel?" folk will still be confused. and computers will come up with incredibly simple, clean Lean proofs for impossibly hard problems. and mathematicians will yell that it is just some trick to satisfy the checker, that it isn't real math if we can't understand it. but then we'll ask the AI and it will kindly reveal the nature of a surprisingly clever mathematical structure that is so alien for our brains to come up with
and life will go on
automation will increase 100-fold
food and goods will be abundant
the price of everything will crash
other than things that can't be copied
like human time and attention
which will be on all time high
and humans will still play chess
and humans will still write software
and humans will still do math
and we'll dance, play sports and love
like we always did
for the love of it
software and math will lose their scarcity
computers will be truly general solvers
and we'll get used to it faster than you think
and life will go on

exactly. this is also why when cisco crashed, it was basically considered a fluke, and the magnificent seven is predominantly made up of router manufacturers. thank god investors are never ever wrong about the value of a technology!
Just a gentle reminder that if OpenAI were to fail, the rest of the players would absorb their talents and move on.
There would be 0 impact to the overall progress of AI for the mankind.

this site always depresses me but this really broke me. the horrific idea implicit within this that the environment is only valuable inasmuch as we can still survive to run more factories, that the destruction of all other wildlife is not just inevitable but actively desirable

in their haste to find the next steve jobs, every vc startup is now founded by a 20-something wunderkind who has had neither the time, nor the interest in personal development, nor curiosity about the world, to know jack shit about anything other than lying to investors

cant tell if the urbit mention is a dogwhistle or not because its very accurately categorized

if programming influencers actually wanted to change the way people program they'd simply be making their own languages that actually work in the ways they assert are better, rather than just telling you "no no you shouldn't use the C++ STL" over and over

i genuinely avoided severance for like three years because i watched succession and thought "thats enough S shows for a while"

its crazy how as soon as i mostly stopped using this site i mostly stopped hearing about generative ai

its really funny to see huge programming influencer accounts on here LARP as crazy optimization wizards and then talk about systems programming 101 stuff like dependent loads or scheduling as if it's some secret big software doesn't want you to know about
