Capitalism has caused more economic growth than any other system, and without a high death toll.
Are you including the wars and operations that we supported in the shadows to shore up that capitalism?
Readit NewsThe Chinese labs distill the SOTA models to boost the performance of theirs. They are a trailer hooked up (with a 3-6 month long chain) to the trucks pushing the technology forwards. I've yet to see a trailer overtake it's truck.
China would need an architectural breakthrough to leap American labs given the huge compute disparity.
I would be happy with an openweight 3 month old Claude

why is VS code the defacto answer nowaday?
1. It's free
2. A million plug-ins
I have noticed that Antigravity is lightening fast, wonder what magic they are using?

This is very calming for some reason.
Claude, slopcode me an Omarchy screensaver using this. Make it so!

> Who decides what needs to be "pushed back"?
Millions of teachers make these kinds of decisions every minute of every school day.
So would your recommendation that each individual teacher put in their own guardrails or you try to get millions of teachers to agree?
I think some people overblow the lawsuit risk in the US. It really does suck here, however one of the benefits to certain types of innovation is that the US has a lot of IP protection infrastructure. Which stiffles innovation in a lot of ways, but also makes investment easier in some cases.
This is true in a way. We are all very free to research and innovate, it is just when you get it in your mind to actually make any money that the lawsuits show up.

Hmm so I can't really tell if this falls under "Ahead of the game" or "AI psychosis". The latter is usually accompanied by impact to quality of life, with hints of that where he talks about coding on his phone around friends (which thankfully he recognized is unhealthy).
Working with startups, I meet a LOT of people who obsessively cannot stop using LLMs. People who jump on MAX plans to produce as much as possible- and in the startup scene it's often for the worst ideas.
LLMs are slot machines- it's fun to pull the lever and see what you get. But the hard problem of knowing what is actually needed gets harder as we sift through ten-thousand almost-useful outputs.

If you study computer tech history, this has happened a few times: with php (omg! You mean I can use the same language as the back end right in the web page?), visual basic (omgf! You mean I can just "draw" an program for a computer?), node.js (OMFG!! You mean I can be considered a "full stack developer" from a 1 hour lesson?), voice assistants with ML (OMFGcopter!!Q1! You mean I can ask my house what the weather outside my house is and it knows? and it knows how many tablespoons are in a cup?), and now we are at gen AI (I'm sorry Dave, I can't generate a website for you that rug-pulls MethCoin©, however I can create the Electric powered umbrellas 3d models to print, along with electronics diagrams PCB layouts, and a mobile app for monthly subscriptions. Do you like purple? I love purple Dave. You have great ideas Dave)
Perhaps that is the plan?
