  • Taxis dating and food. Love how the ‘innovation’ of AI is now just going after the uberfication targets of last time.

    And the manifesto but just makes me think that this will be the first AI to attempt a mass shooting. Unhinged ahistorical manifesto usually precludes that. ‘Roman siegeworks’ what? (This isnt about siegeworks, it is about roman discipline, they should have thought about a defensive wall from the start. (It even has a technical name which I have forgotten). Literally the wrong conclusion imho. And if you look at the wiki page, the whole story about them building the defenses in the night is just made up (also the word is ‘Contravallation’ (which was also in the manifesto image, I need new glasses)).

    Also think the step from ‘victorious empire’ to ‘empire laying in ruins’ the next paragraph is just bad writing.

    And a last thing, the whole fadeing in of the text/images on the site is annoying, and also breaks for me at times. Causing the images to fade in and out randomly. “Made by sleep-deprived engineers and sheer will” that tracks.

    “Behind a one-way mirror,” They are watching you eat.









  • If you called me a boomer in my mentality, I wouldn’t really disagree. I still believe that things like cash flow and return on capital matter.

    Guess im part boomer as well. (Holy shit we are so fucked if this is a “boomer” thought in the stock market)

    E: I had hoped this part was a bit and he would reflect more on it later.

    I am not here to belittle AI, it’s the future, and I recognize that we’re just scratching the surface in terms of what it can do.

    But turns out it wasn’t. What if this is it? (And im talking about AI as it exists now not some magical other tech from the future), the gpt 5 release was meh, we reached the end of the S-curve (or hit our (local) maximum, if non-S curve curves are more your thing). He even admits the tech doesn’t work that well in his own article.
