Your handle caught my attention - yes - and for folks studying non-linear and dynamical systems, fascinating how much of prompting is sensitive dependence to initial conditions.

Honestly, I think it will look pretty much like this one. There’s a lot of manual experience that the current generation doesn’t have. For example, I haven’t racked and cabled a server in over 15 year…

AI Vampire is from Steve Yegge, credit where it's due. My take is that it's similar to what Amber Case described in Calm Technology - with AI you are not steering one car, you're real…

Thanks friend! Appreciate it. Agree, the diversity of the discourse is not great. There's a lot of "omg I just got started waaauw" articles out there along with "we're all gon…

Serious reply to this one: I truly don’t find it any more scary than what’s already taken place many times in human history. We have hundreds and thousands of years of history showing humans committin…

> it ain't a masterful Xanatos gambit. Agree, and didn't intend to imply that. This is just a good startup move that gets a big headline because it's OpenAI. Other startups around …

Yes, sadly, the West is not the leader. The work done by the Chinese labs is just so damn good.

This might sound like snark, but I truly don’t mean it that way. I think what’s interesting about AI, and why there’s so much conversation, is that in order to be a good user of AI, you have to really…

This move makes a lot of sense to me. It never felt like OpenAI was seriously going to try to launch a video-based social network. It was more of a fun way to demonstrate the power of the video genera…

Not sure why people haven't figured it out - bad news is only happening if it is reported. So if you could simply stop reporting the bad news, then they wouldn't be happening. Seems pretty o…

Yes, sadly. Except what I'm imaging would be even worse.

It's the same except much worse.

I had a terrible thought while out on a hike the other day. I'm almost loath to post it on HN because I worry some idiot is going to read it and think it's a good idea. On the other hand, if…

Reading this story and related comments, I'm struck folks have lost the history around dogfooding. From what I understand the term really picked up from Paul Maritz. The saying was - "if you…

> velocity is a vector Exactly this. Velocity is a vector. It has magnitude (aka speed) and direction. Our industry has chased magnitude over all else for so long. Now we can put nitro in everyon…

> Cloud had a very similar vibe when it was really running advertising to CIO/CTOs hard. Everything had to be jammed into the cloud, even if it made absolutely no sense for it to be run there…

He wasn’t wrong on that one.

Poor Marc, such a victim of his own success. I’ve seen him speak live, and it was clear from listening to him that he was very out of touch with reality. He was insightful on technology, and he defini…

Not OP, but I’ll throw out that many large commercial websites don’t directly integrate ads themselves. Instead, they use a tag manager. Often, that tag manager isn’t managed by the technology departm…

I'm not sure if I totally agree but this is an amazing breakdown.

If it's the gathering, then all of the above is more or less true.

Yes, I read the news. Obama floated the idea. So did Trump in his first term. Biden did also. Bush didn't advocate for less frequent reporting but he DID sign Sarbanes-Oxley, so that at least was…
