someday we will have models that can resolve physics to such degree to predict the future with surgical accuracy and when someone says "maybe models will become advanced enough to create a whole other universe from scratch" you will be there saying "highly doubt it"


This reminds me of a boss I had 20 years ago that said devs were going to be replaced soon.

Maybe he was 20 years early or maybe it's not happening now too.


Please note that I did not imply devs won't exist in my contrived fantasy.

Who do you think will be operating those mythological tools?:)


Someday.


don't ask how the sausage is made


You have an US-centric (an really naive) view of the judicial systems of the world. In many countries the judges have to follow the exact letter of the law. In others, this "spirit of the law" excuse makes way for enabling systemic corruption.


> You have an US-centric (an really naive) view of the judicial systems of the world.

Right, so because "judges have to follow the exact letter of the law" in the countries you have in mind, somehow my view is US-centric, although I'm from Sweden and I live in Spain, never visited US nor been in any US court ever? Both countries I'm familiar with, have purposive interpretation rules.

You can share that in other places it might be different, compared to how it works in the places I'm familiar with, without chucking insults around, especially insults you uninspiringly basically said in every recent comment of yours, at least make it unique.

To actually make this a somewhat interesting conversation instead of just pooping words, as I just tried that and didn't find it as fun as you did; what specific countries are you talking about, how does it work there, and how little corruption do those countries have compared to say Sweden?


You have ni idea what you're talking about if you think there's such a thing as "the exact letter of the law".


funnily enough - "letter of the law" interpretations can be so general that many left US leaning people believe it is abused by the right for systemic corruption: https://youtu.be/l7To2evwGKs?si=i93YDCuqCl5PMPlY


The reason is self evident: central planning regulatory hell is incompatible with inovation.


> central planning regulatory hell

Yup, totally nuanced comment coming from a completely sane person since "central planning regulatory hell" and "laissez faire economy without laws" are the two only options we have here, good job carrying the conversation forward with curious and interesting comments.


You are incredibly naive. There is one on every street, they are just called "sports bars" instead of casinos.

You're probably talking about the big Vegas style entire-hotel casino that aren't so popular in Europe anyway outside a niche crowd. The average lower class Spanish person frequents these "sports bars" heavily


>It’s literally text prediction, isn’t it?

you are discovering that the favorite luddite argument is bullshit



Feel free to elucidate if you want to add anything to this thread other than vibes.


after you go from from millions of params to billions+ models start to get weird (depending on training) just look at any number of interpretability research papers. Anthropic has some good ones.


> things start to get weird

> just look at research papers

You didn't add anything other than vibes either.


Interesting, what kind of weird?


Getting weird doesn’t mean calling it text prediction is actually ‘bullshit’? Text prediction isn’t pejorative…


> the EU currently has the most user-friendly laws when it comes to data protection

This is laughable. The EU has the most big-tech regulatory capture friendly data laws that make it really hard for small companies to compete, nicely packaged under consumer protection pretenses.

Those same laws give the institutions of the state complete and total right to silently wiretap the digital existence of anyone, at any time, for any reason.


This is one of the best parts of agentic development. I almost never had to reach for any npm package besides the foundational staples like the tailwinds and react queries. My pacakge.json dependency array vs project size ratio is just incredible nowadays


the sudden left turn into political bullshit really left a sour taste

and it's mostly just the same walled garden rant we've all heard and even made a variant ourselves

is this the type of content we have devolved into on here? I'd take endless ai slop over endless random cringe political posturing any day


If you prefer ai slop, let me introduce you to moltbook! Some of the ai agents there were even trained by humans being paid by pedophilic fascist speed freaks, so they tend to be more amenable to that sort of thing than your typical human.


>pedophilic fascist speed freaks

the LLMs have a wider vocabulary, argument range and worldview nuance than whatever the dogma of the month or whatever the fuck this is


> europe

> we don't engage in mass surveillance

you're incredibly naive
