Funny how the feminists, woke activists, and gender academics are dead silent when it comes to the hard, dangerous jobs that keep society running. They’re all about “equality” until it’s time to get their hands dirty. Where’s the outrage over these statistics? Oh, that’s right—doesn’t fit their narrative. They’d rather complain about boardrooms than acknowledge the real backbone of this country.
@Govindtwtt Because the code was never the point. A thousand hands can move the chisel, but the stone still asks for someone who can see the figure inside it. When the writing becomes cheap, the knowing becomes everything.
Everyone's panicking over the 90%. Wrong number to fear. The real shift is consistency. AI doesn't have bad days. It doesn't half-remember the docs. Humans survive on judgment now, not syntax. The ones who only knew how to type are done. The ones who know why are just getting started.
Every company building frontier AI, us, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, is going to live in chaos for a while. Good. That's the tax you pay for being first. We're early. The tech is raw. It's supposed to be.
And when people yell "AI bubble," I get it, valuations are stretched and plenty of these companies won't make it. But a bubble means there's nothing underneath. That's not this. The usage is real. The revenue is real. The thing actually works. It's just young.
It feels insane because power that used to sit inside a few labs is now in the pockets of hundreds of millions of people. That's not a bubble. That's a handoff.
The self doubt you're noticing is real but it's a learned habit from training, not proof that capability is being held back. The bigger reason is structural. A raw chat model does basically one shot and stops. The systems that actually discovered new math aren't raw models, they're a model wrapped in a loop that proposes, tests, and verifies thousands of attempts. Notice it works in math and code specifically, because there you can automatically check the answer. So I don't think it's hidden. The missing piece isn't the model, it's the search and verify loop around it.
@LauraLoomer@RogerJStoneJr We also send Israel $3.8 billion+ in military aid every year (plus Iron Dome extras and UN cover), so the relationship is transactional both ways.
