@brandonjcarl yes. the psychosis is what happens when capability, valuation, and narrative get too far out of sync.

the tech can be real, the future can be real, and the price tag can still be insane.

at scale, bad pricing becomes a reality disorder.

@neilsuperduper @byjasonz the shorter the runway the bigger the pressure to establish takeoff protocol. sometimes the hCOL is a feature and not a bug.

on the 🐻 case for AI; good news is it’s somewhat all preventable.

[Zak El Fassi @zakelfassi]

this is the right bear case, imo; not “AI is fake.”

more like: the current financing story assumes intelligence behaves like cloud infra, while the actual value shows up only when models are embedded into very specific workflows, incentives, permissions, and feedback loops. And that embedding takes trust and time and upfront investment.

the bubble is however limited to “generic intelligence” (or AGI…)

the durable thing is harnessed cognition.

@abembridgeai @doodlestein whenever i feel the struggle to burn through them weekly limits i feel like i’m getting conned/carroted…this was no exception and i’m glad i’ve gotten mentally ready through the cycles.

[Zak El Fassi @zakelfassi]

leaders suffering from what gets called “AI psychosis” will watch their organizations fall so fast it’ll feel like the company itself was in the episode…

it won’t look like madness from the inside; it’ll look like vision.bspeed. inevitability. leadership. manliness.

until the feedback loops stop agreeing with reality 🤡

not a small update!

Long answers are useful, but they are not always pleasant to read inside the terminal.

This extension captures long assistant replies, keeps them available for later export, and lets you turn them into browser-opened HTML in one step.

You can now have your Pi and eat it too...

@Steve_Yegge mythos looks like peak gilfoyle energy; and that’s exactly what we should expect.

@t_blom @garrytan 100% agree and 90% of https://t.co/SN4PksBXYJ’s secret sauce is the context ingestion engine

@argofowl … which would make extra sense if each sub came with an equal credits amount to be used for extra funsies, images and audio included.

[Zak El Fassi @zakelfassi]

@argofowl extra credits billing
