Many AGI-doom naysayers don't seem to understand what super-intelligence means
Guys, it's much smarter than you. It'll anticipate your countermeasures. (If it doesn't just read them on X)
If you've ever seen a hamster hide from you by sticking its head up a tube then you get it
Wild: When the BYD Zhengzhou factory is fully complete it will be larger than San Francisco (but smaller than the Denver airport!)
~10x larger than the Gigafactory Nevada. Not apples to apples because it's effectively a city - employees live there in dorms.
No longer hiring junior or even mid-level software engineers.
Our tokens per codebase:
Gumroad: 2M
Flexile: 800K
Helper: 500K
Iffy: 200K
Shortest: 100K
Both Claude 3.5 Sonnet and o3-mini have context windows of 200K tokens, meaning they can now write 100% of our Iffy and Shortest code if prompted well.
It won’t be long until AI will be writing all the code for Helper, Flexile, and Gumroad. My guess is by the end of 2026.
Our new process:
1. Sit and chat about what we need to build, doing research with Deep Research as we go.
2. Have AI record everything and turn it into a spec.
3. Clean up the spec, adding any design requirements / other nuances.
4. Have Devin code it up.
5. QA, merge, (auto-)deploy to prod.
Imagine losing us our EU citizenship and rights, costing the UK £100bn+ a year for ZERO gain, taxing us to the highest level since WW2, going through five PMs in a decade, crashing the economy, and partying through a pandemic – and still thinking voters are scared of Labour 🙄
@AmInvestorDiary@Monevator Hi! Yes, I'm still out here haha thanks ;)
I agree re: constituency issues, there was a typo in my comment -- I meant "locally for me" not "lovely for me"!

These checks are an unnecessary act of self harm that will increase prices in an era of inflation. Brexit is an opportunity for deregulation not becoming a mini protectionist EU.

First Sam Altman, now the founder of Cruise. I'm not saying John Connor is sending back emissaries to squeeze these guys out with offers they can't refuse, but let's look out for rogue Austrian cyborgs in the weeks ahead

@WyndhamWallace The irony being there are remote tribes in the Papuan New Guinea rainforest who are still on a barter system who could have improved on their economic thinking since 2016…
