Thinking back to my 20s in rural Tennessee and hearing people talk about how they drove better after a few drinks.
This is a post about AI productivity.

If we can send one crypto-billionaire to Mars, why can't we send them all? SpaceX Taps Crypto Billionaire to Lead First Crewed Mission to Mars
During the live webcast, SpaceX played a video of cryptocurrency billionaire and civilian astronaut Chun Wang speaking from Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. Wang, who has gone to space one time before, explained that he will embark on a Starship flyby of the Moon and Mars. SpaceX has not shared a target launch date for the mission, but it could be the world’s first interplanetary human spaceflight.

I'm too tech fatiqued to try to self-host email, but am trying to get confident enough in my new settings to migrate away from Google to Hetzner.
Sigh. Tech is making me tired.
"the ability to process is going to get faster and cheaper ... than people expect" Dan Lyke / comment 0
Okay, even if you think that "AI" is gonna bring something useful... Reddit r/TechGawker: Mark Cuban says OpenAI’s trillion-dollar data center bet is doomed because AI processing will get faster, cheaper and more efficient before the spending ever makes sense.
The Pascal's Wager of it all Dan Lyke / comment 0
The Register: Gemini accused of 30,000-line code
purge and fake recovery report. I mean, it's the usual The Reg snark, but the Reddit thread of people dissecting why the slot machine
strategy prompts failed is super super sad.
Which leads to a couple of Fediverse posts for the morning. mhoye @mhoye@cosocial.ca
Seeing people I respect calling their development process "arguing with chatbots" now is really getting kind of sad. There's no agency there, man, there's no choice. There's no understanding. You're standing at the craps table in a plausible-syntax casino, telling the dice they're wrong and to try again. Of course the house is winning.
@AnarchoNinaWrites either LLMs are capable of doing what is advertised, and them it's impossible to be left behind, or it isn't capable and then it's not worth not falling behind.
Where some guy came up with a bet that has favourible odds for believing in god, the LLM hype is a bet with favourable odds for disbelief.

We’ve pushed young people completely out of our public physical spaces and now they’re getting pushed out of our digital spaces as well. Where are they supposed to go?

Scalzi on fire Dan Lyke / comment 0
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
but it might help them with their homework Dan Lyke / comment 0
Might have to distribute this in physical form: Pictures of the ad on the the London tube, along with a printable PDF that reads:
Yes, we built a machine that tells teenagers to kill themselves.
But - it might also help them with their homework.

Wish Mastodon had a show me this Dan Lyke / comment 0
Wish Mastodon had a "show me this user's posts without RTs" option. It's sometimes hard to tell if a new follower is just content farming, or there's actually a person adding value to the web there.
Though I suppose that if it's hard to tell, then I have my answer.

Sean Conner: The AI has come for my code.
Seriously, Github needs a “dismiss with prejudice” button. Now!
