Just a reminder that deepseek v3 came out 18 months ago and was considered revolutionary at the time but is basically unusable today
There was a fierce debate at the time about vibe coding and the argument was that LLMs can never create anything new because they are limited by their training data
Those engineers were partly right and vibe coding was a real nightmare, I cannot believe what we used to put ourselves through with Sonnet 3.5, but we also knew real new things could be made and that the detractors were wrong
I guess us non-engineers saw it most clearly (I would like to think so at least) because we were astonished at the new things we could do without the programming background, and we had nothing to lose and everything to gain in our enthusiasm
Then came Opus 4.5 earlier this year which changed everything
Suddenly real production code became possible with so much less friction and headache
Everyone complained endlessly about models being nerfed or quantized but there was a steady march of progress from 4.5 to 4.8
Now a completely new crop of models is coming out that is not quite a 4.5 moment but something close
We are not only getting more polish but things are becoming a little freaky, entire isolated domains become possible to combine with small teams or even just one person into new applications that would have required large infusions of time and capital in the past
My wife back in 2021 told me about AI but I was in healthcare, I thought she was being a little nutty, and she talked like something from a science fiction film was coming and she got involved in it early on
She never stops letting me know that she was right, and she was
The next year is going to be wild, the world is truly going to change over the next few years, the scale of disruption will be a combination of astonishing and awesome, but also catastrophic
There are many amazing things ahead and extraordinary challenges and opportunities
We are living inside one of one of the biggest revolutions in human history
Breakthrough!
They have discovered the cause for the increase in child marriage, it's climate change. Nothing to do with Islam, it's your fault for having your AC on.
This is the tax payer funded ABC in Australia.
This is my “secret” that nobody knows.
I’ve never said publicly & instead I took years of abuse for my positions on Indigenous affairs in Canada.
My wife & my three kids: They are First Nations.
But I don’t believe my kids resumes need to be put on the top of a stack because they are First Nations.
I believe in equality. I believe in a merit based system.
I don’t believe we should be asking unelected chiefs for permission to build nation building projects.
I believe in uplifting the country as a whole.
I don’t believe in mass graves of children as a result of genocide.
Facts show mass graves were common for communities as a whole because of Tuberculosis.
I believe Residential schools did exist.
I do not deny them.
I agree - there were flaws. But I don’t believe nuns and teachers were taking the life of children.
I also don’t think it’s sustainable that we spend $30 billion per year on Indigenous Affairs while First Nations life expectancy continues to decline.
Look it up; they die younger.
We must acknowledge that something is broken.
Those who actually need help, are not getting it.
The Liberals created an environment that doesn’t help those in need, but instead helps a consultant Liberal class.
Did you know that when Harper was PM, he created the First Nations Financial Transparency Act?
Since we fund First Nations bands with our taxes, audited financial statements must be provided or face enforcement, fines/consequences.
The public, the First Nations band members, they deserve transparency from their Chiefs.
The Liberals paused the enforcement. Completely.
Ask yourself: Why?
Did you know that a First Nations band, an individual, HAD TO SUE HIS OWN CHIEF because they would not disclose where their money was going? It’s absurd. He & his people have the right to know. So do we, as taxpayers.
I’ve sat back, and seen all the negative comments, threats and how I “hate” First Nations.
And it couldn’t be further from the truth.
There’s a world that exists, where you can fight for truth, honesty, transparency & normalcy, and it not be considered hateful.
I love my wife & my kids.
I want to see First Nations AND all Canadians thrive and succeed.
WE ARE ALL EQUAL.

RT IF BULLISH!!!!
Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
There is nothing that will ever come close to this incredible moment in our history. This is the Canada that I love. An unmatched unity that scared the crap out of our Government.
It was the very moment I knew me and my family were not alone during such a dark time.
