One requires you to trust a human and the other requires you to trust mathematics.


Let me simplify it for the sake of argument. Imagine I am unable to follow a middle school proof of Pythagoras. How does it matter if I trust anyone beyond that? What possible contribution can I build on top of that?


But who is getting celebrated? The people who spent a lot of time on the original thing, or the AI rewrite that everyone now uses?


The people benefit from all human knowledge, future human beings.


if only we lived in such a world


I mean, all of it? Maybe someone born post rewrite will think wow AI made a cool thing but nobody is going whoa Postgres is made purely by AI?


It's pretty ergonomic to agents. Like typescript.


It's the old game that he's trying to preserve. It's time to move on to the new game. When the landscape shifts beneath you, its very low probability that the existing structures on the landscape are a good fit for the new landscape, and the structures on the new landscape must be rethought from first principles.


He did move to a new game, which is what confirmed they'd been cheating.

School should be this, but applied to literally everything. Ideally with AI generating it all.


What is your take on the optimal usage of AI, and why would it not be N + 1? I think the article is largely correct here.


Interesting example on how I envision software to evolve in the future because massive abundance caused by AI. Massively composable and interoperable.


Triangle kind of reminds me of the Bermuda Triangle. You know how many people died there?


People? Do you know how many of them are murderers, fraudsters and all around finks. That's a terrible thing to mention.


Regulations can often be bad for progress so a CBA is probably best. Doesn't matter about the framing.


What do you mean framing doesn't matter? You just called the other post 'acidic' The idea that a CBA is somehow useful outside of any moral context is facially ridiculous anyway. You're just spewing word-mumbo-jumbo. The entire point of the law is to uphold the basic moral values of society in its function.
