If we give up grounding technology in human needs, and instead merely use it to accelerate outputs then there is no job left for any of us except organ donor.

Reading more of the comments it sounds like one host is a leftCath and the reason has more to do with the mainline Protestant interfaith liberal vibes than an objection to religion per se. Idk I haven't listened to these guys.

I get why people are upset with the technology, the harm etc. But the estimation of its capacity is what's crazy. There are people who believe it is literally God and people who believe it is literally is nothing more than autocorrect.

It's kind of nuts how polarized people are on this. I've been following this technology since 2015 (I, as an artist, taught myself Linux so I could run my own style transfer neural networks locally) and it feels a little disorienting the kerfuffle that stirs.

I feel like I've been telling people this for a decade and now one would listen. I saw it in game dev world first. Overproduction problem, similar to what happened to agriculture post wwi

Breaking stuff up into chunks, plain language, short sentences. All that helps. Though admittedly I don't have expertise in this area.

I've def seen way more negative comments about glp from fatphobes than from fat acceptance people. In fact I'd say I've seen zero from fat acceptance people?

Thermos seem like a pretty intuitive way to explain it. Thermoses keep stuff hot or cold. Space is a big thermos.

Also maybe it helps that I was following Google's ocean submerged datacenters over a decade ago. Ocean is so much more accessible than space.

"Datacenters in space" feels like a litmus test for how grounded a particular technology brother/sister is or isn't. I have trouble understanding the brain of the person who buys it. I'm no space expert but it just seems like the most dot connecting sort of BS.

there really is nothing more dangerous than a dumb person with an LLM and no sense of shame.

Maybe because there's massive subsidies for vfx?

Maybe because it's harder to reach consensus on "good writing"?

Maybe because it's hard to judge writing prior to execution?

Maybe because it's much easier for 30 people to build a set together but 30 people writing a script would be insane?

Fallout season 2 started off really strong, but woof stuff really piled up as the season wore on.

I'm always wondering why the ostensibly cheapest thing, writing the story, always seems to fall through, when the expensive labor intensive parts of production always nail their mark.

Bilbo looking at his phone top

on bottom is ChatGPT

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Hot take: a fair number of things people use spreadsheets for could be better done with a regular doc.

You can put a table in a doc. But formatting text in a spreadsheet is a pain.

Most information that can be displayed in a table can be more easily read as a linear document.

I didn't know what Mutexes were but after chatting with the robot I think I've got an idea of how Enzo could approach this:
```
$count: 0;
(
Lock @count, (
$count + 1 :> $count;
);
), with (
Lock @count, (
$count + 1 :> $count;
);
);
```

I would imagine you can Wait inside a function. Enzo at this time doesn't have a concept of coloring functions. I'm pretty hazy on a lot of these concepts of course but that has not been planned and not sure if it's needed.

I think stuff like I/O concurrency would be handled by the stream/Wait stuff. like:
```
fetch("/data.json") stream $this :> $response;
Watch $response then render($this);
```

But the copy by value at spawn, mutation is only explicit rebinding, no implicit shared mutation, should keep things fairly safe.
