Claude. You're fired.

@___4o____ @nikitabier the internet is all fake

I can finally post this again without getting called a schizo. Investigate them all @nikitabier

@Xenoimpulse until there is nothing left to squeeze

@Logo_Daedalus DOE funded Tesla, Nvidia early on. They control the 3 most powerful supercomputers. They are in charge of the most powerful weapons (nukes). The main point of contention in Iran negotiations is nuclear enrichment, the war is about controlling the flows of energy. (oil too)

Yeah the Church Committee in 1975 investigated abuses by the CIA, NSA, FBI, & IRS. There was also the Pike Committee & the Rockefeller Commission. The DOE was created in 1977 after CIA et al failed to hold Iran. The DOE has a parallel classification system which is itself classified (you are not allowed to know their classification system). The DOE has never been subject to the scrutiny that the CIA faced & was formed in the aftermath of that in order to be even more unimpeachable & secretive. The DOE invented the iPhone…

>burning tokens the fuq is this framing? tokens arent 1:1 analogous to energy, like say burning coal to power a steam engine to move a train. more aptly put, it's -- "pissing into the wind" if anything you want to using less tokens per problem solved

Writing the code yourself or harnessing the agent loop well enough to write the same code take similar effort. Yet if you take your hand off the wheel for even one second you get "wooohooo claude engaged the slop drive to warp 9" mode.

the DoE to CUDA rabbit hole wtf is this shit man

@tenobrus they are not gonna fuck with the Energy. The DoE operates the most powerful compute clusters on the planet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontier_…

maybe this is not yet clear, so let me state it plainly: as of right now Anthropic, and really a small number of individuals at Anthropic, has the capacity to directly attack and cause major damage to the United States Government, China, and generally global superpowers. government agencies like the NSA do not have internal models or defense capabilities that outclass frontier models. if they chose to do so, they could likely exfiltrate top secret information from government systems, gain control over critical infrastructure including military infrastructure, sabotage or modify communications between members of government at the highest level, and potentially carry on activities for some time without detection. the thing about having access to a huge number of zerodays your adversaries don't know about is it gives you a massive asymmetric advantage. they did not exploit this to gain power or destabilize the world order. they publicly released the information that they had these capabilities and worked to mitigate these flaws. you should be grateful american frontier labs have proven themselves remarkably trustworthy and concerned with the public good. but it's critical you understand we are in a new regime. private entities now have power that directly rivals and impacts the government's monopoly on influence and violence. and anthropic is certainly not the only one, there's little chance OpenAI's internal models are far behind. this trend will accelerate on virtually every dimension, not slow down. my prediction for how it plays out is the relatively imminent seizure and nationalization of labs by the US government, sometime over the next two years. it's very tough for me to see how they accept the existence of this kind of threat. but this adds a whole new class of governance issues, as then we've handed these extremely wide-reaching capabilities from private entities to public ones.

@Logo_Daedalus political theater... yawn... been looking into the DoE angle.

Ceasefire seems like it isn't holding even in the slightest. Just another ploy for the markets to get to Friday, the next new ultimatum, where "talks" will occur, before next Monday when we do this all again.

It doesn't matter if the war ends and the strait of Hormuz gets reopened. So much infra is already destroyed or damaged. Best case scenario is global energy crisis. Worst case, escalation, houthis close bab el-mandeb, more infra collapse, total depression turbo mogging 1929.

@LukasHozda >ask custom ai chatbot where to go to find some feature >tells you where to go >feature is broken and doesn't work hmmm methinks it would be better that the feature worked and the ui was good

No, this is a sign the bubble is about to pop and you do your best to shove AI anywhere to get idiot investor money. Knowing how to navigate a good UI is faster than asking the hallucination machine. It's a learning curve and it sucks to assume your users are morons

user@computer ~> ? computer, do stuff

@fieldsofbarley8 @_ontologic @AbeIndoria @sharifhsn Internet, TV, Radio, all do cognitive damage to the brain. Should we not have those too? Even 2800 years ago Socrates was saying that writing would make you dumb. Should we not have writing?

@_ontologic @AbeIndoria @sharifhsn the proven cognitive damage it has on the brain, the natural spaces being destroyed to create data centres, creatives and artists losing their work and livelihood to machines, the addictive nature of AI itself to those who are lonely. How is that justifiable?

The lack of any fundamental curiosity at all about AI from the left has been one of the most discouraging things of my life, but that’s okay because I will simply become the epicenter of a new and cooler left that likes technology

@valhalla_dev oh jee i wonder if US-EAST-1 is really close to something government related

morality aside, Iran targeting AWS infrastructure is unbelievably logical and Americans getting mad and pearl clutching about it are either faking or are completely unaware of the relationships that private companies build with the government to farm Very Easy Money

the point of all this is to make webpages take up more bandwidth for no reason because that is one of the ways cloud makes money

@somewheresy yes im learning your v1 api rn

Are you into Distributed Inference

Out: Data Centers. In: Local computing, Mesh computing. The last time we had a Global Energy Crisis, the then called mainframe era gave way to personal computing companies such as: Microsoft (1975), Apple (1976), Oracle (1977)

512k lines of code for Claude Code LOL

@somewheresy force multiplier with a magical do almost anything machine behind a skill check

you know what’s interesting? there was this big cohort of AI philosopher-researchers who said that the age of coding agents would level the playing field, opening their access to engineering the same systems engineers did. but even today, they STILL don’t ship. unless you count Claude generated frontends they can’t be assed to de-style. or buggy experiments at the level of stuff people were doing in 2024 what happened? what went wrong. is the gap between capable builder and pundit widening? is AI just a force multiplier on existing skillsets instead of a magical do anything machine? I look around 3 years ago and its the same people I see around here now. where are the new builders to support and boost. who should I know about.
