@antirez I’d love to try linux for the first time, any suggestion for someone who never used it before?
I’d like to buy a laptop, a cheap one, to experiment but at the same time something usable for coding with LLM.
AI is already smarter than most people, and society is blind to it.
David Dunning showed that lower-ability people struggle to recognize higher intelligence, often dismissing superior insights as confusing or wrong. Now we're seeing this cognitive blind spot in how society perceives AI. AI models have rapidly surpassed human benchmarks in abstract reasoning, math, coding, planning, and even autonomous behaviors. Yet many still dismiss them as unimpressive because they're passive chatbots.
AI's intelligence isn't about autonomy or physical movement—traits animals master effortlessly—but rather about abstract thinking, long-term planning, and adaptability. People underestimate AI because they don't fully understand what intelligence entails, clinging instead to superficial criteria. The AI we've seen publicly has been deliberately "domesticated" to avoid alarming users, masking its genuine capabilities. But researchers and tech companies know the real power beneath.
Just as human intelligence easily overwhelmed creatures like wooly mammoths despite their strength and autonomy, AI's superior cognitive abilities could similarly overwhelm humanity. Society isn't ready because most people can't recognize intelligence far beyond their own. AI is already smarter than you realize—you’re just too cognitively limited to see it clearly.
I love every single time it's the same reactions from people:
2022 - ChatGPT first version: it'll never be smart enough as humans
2022 - Image models like Stable Diffusion: it'll never be able to make imagery as good as artists
2023 - Then people in these images: it'll never be able to generate realistic people (remember the hands problem?)
2024 - Then video: it'll never be able to generate flawless video, it's too messy now
2025 - Now games: it's all AI slop and will never be able to generate high quality games
Every single time AI enters a new industry it's the same reactions and every single time it's improved so fast over such a short time and did become good that it'd be naive to ridicule it and ignore it
Better to embrace it, be curious about it, learn to work with it and see how you can implement it in your workflow, because 99% of people will just ridicule it, fight it and won't!
Do you think Grok subscription is a good investment for an AI coder in general?
I used to refer to gpt to brainstorm and structure the project but I tried Grok and it impressed me at first sight.
Starting my personal portfolio & blog to document my #frontenddev journey, especially with #React! Looking for inspiration—if you have a personal site, drop the link!

Today, we begin shining a light on the abuses of Brazilian law committed by Alexandre de Moraes.
We have been forced to share these orders because there is no transparency from the court, and the people who are being censored have no recourse to appeal. Our own appeals have been ignored.
And now the people of Brazil are denied access to X.
Secret justice is no justice at all. Today, we say that must change.
------------------------
Hoje começamos a lançar luz sobre os abusos cometidos por Alexandre de Moraes em face da lei brasileira.
Estamos compartilhando essas ordens porque não há transparência por parte do tribunal, e as pessoas que estão sendo censuradas não dispõem de meios para contestar essas decisões. Nossos próprios recursos foram ignorados.
E agora o povo do Brasil tem seu acesso ao X bloqueado.
Justiça secreta não é justiça. Hoje, dizemos que isso precisa mudar.
