@Logo_Daedalus DOE funded Tesla, Nvidia early on. They control the 3 most powerful supercomputers. They are in charge of the most powerful weapons (nukes). The main point of contention in Iran negotiations is nuclear enrichment, the war is about controlling the flows of energy. (oil too)
>burning tokens
the fuq is this framing? tokens arent 1:1 analogous to energy, like say burning coal to power a steam engine to move a train.
more aptly put, it's -- "pissing into the wind"
if anything you want to using less tokens per problem solved
I'm not trying to misrepresent anyone, and perhaps my Googler friends are misinformed. But I strongly suspect that by my own notions of what constitutes advanced AI adoption--and indeed, what most of the industry would expect from Google right now--you are not doing great.
At Anthropic, which is basically the bar at this point, everyone is burning, I'd guess, 10M to 15M tokens a day. If Google can convince me that half their engineers are burning 4M tokens a day, then I'd be happy to post a retraction with an apology.
Writing the code yourself or harnessing the agent loop well enough to write the same code take similar effort.
Yet if you take your hand off the wheel for even one second you get "wooohooo claude engaged the slop drive to warp 9" mode.
from my experience, even the best models (Opus 4.6, 5.4 xhigh / 5.3 codex) cannot write good code today without an amount of work that is equivalent to just doing the work myself
am excited for a world where they can, but in the current state i have very low trust in them
It doesn't matter if the war ends and the strait of Hormuz gets reopened. So much infra is already destroyed or damaged. Best case scenario is global energy crisis. Worst case, escalation, houthis close bab el-mandeb, more infra collapse, total depression turbo mogging 1929.
@LukasHozda >ask custom ai chatbot where to go to find some feature
>tells you where to go
>feature is broken and doesn't work
hmmm methinks it would be better that the feature worked and the ui was good
@fieldsofbarley8@_ontologic@AbeIndoria@sharifhsn Internet, TV, Radio, all do cognitive damage to the brain. Should we not have those too? Even 2800 years ago Socrates was saying that writing would make you dumb. Should we not have writing?
so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak.
here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production.
