@cb_doge I'd like to see some permission mode between YOLO and approving every command, like a whitelist or a layer on top that checks for dangerous operations and asks permission for just those.

I'm officially done reading AI-generated code.

It's been two weeks since I looked at any of it.

I think the IDE is officially on its way to the graveyard. The job is no longer about "writing code," so we need new tools that better reflect this new reality.

While reviewing the code, I realized my only complaints were stylistic, and I wasn't finding any obvious bugs anymore.

The more code I generated, the harder it became to keep track of every line. I found that my time is better spent designing ways to verify that the overall system works than looking at the code.

State-of-the-art coding agents are better at writing code than I'd ever be, and I'm going to stop pretending otherwise.

I still think these coding agents can't go too far without an experienced human guiding them, but we're past the point where we need to check every line of code.

@XFreeze It's odd to me that /auto (the one that still asks for some permissions) is hidden, and YOLO is the one that shows up when Grok is asking for permission. Seems backwards.

America and Europe are in crisis today-it's a deep crisis of leadership. In the US, over the past three decades, elites have forgotten the principle of servant leadership: that those privileged to govern owe their privilege to the citizens, that their duty is to serve. 6/10

Odds on whether this as existing military tech explains a bunch of UFO sightings?

Researchers at Northwestern University have used artificial intelligence to design a drone 'Phantom Twist' that is far less visible in flight, exploiting motion blur rather than camouflage to make the aircraft appear as a faint haze

This honestly makes me hate technology. What have we become?

For me, this has unseated ‘the young homeowners becoming their parents’ commercials as the best commercial on earth.

Everyone has to choose to put their penis in the penis chopper machine or not.

If half the male population puts their penis in the penis chopper machine, it doesn’t go off.

If less than half do it, everyone with their penis in the penis chopper machine gets their penis chopped off.

Do you stick your penis in the penis chopper machine?

This is like saying if your neighbor sold his car, you could pay your rent. Sure, once. Then it's next month, and his car is gone, and your rent is still due. You didn't solve anything; you just spent someone else's stuff and called it a policy.

People deserve better leadership

Harvesting just one kidney from 20% of America’s politicians would give a new kidney to EVERY SINGLE PERSON currently on the transplant waiting list.

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

Dear US government,

Since you've just blocked Fable and Mythos on critical national security grounds, here are some other tools that pose a similar threat to the American people:

- Microsoft Teams
- SAP
- Salesforce
- Jira
- Outlook

Please do what you must to save America 🇺🇸

The thing that winds me up is how Elon has a trillion because he’s set up a system where he forcibly takes 40% of what hard working people produce, leverages it up as debt, spends it ineffectively and does dumb things to win the votes of millions of people who’ve become dependent on his handouts.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement.

Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier.

Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème.

Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs.

Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours.

La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.

[litquidity @litcapital]

SpaceX alone just created over 5,000 millionaires while you have lifted zero people out of poverty or created zero millionaires (besides yourself)

[Henrick Johansson @compliantvc]

Elon Musk is about to become a trillionaire

If he agreed to pay just 80% of that as a wealth tax to the EU, the EU government could use its efficient operating experience to fund bicycles with solar panels attached to them for over 40 residents of the Netherlands

Elon is being selfish by not paying the wealth tax

[Josh! @joshatron5000]

Instead, let's make a rubber band wage law. The highest paid exec cannot make more than 100x or 1000x the lowest paid worker. Expand the pie for everyone rather than handicapping the Makers.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.

We need a wealth tax.
