The real "bitter lesson" is that the goalposts keep moving.

The original "bitter lesson" was that "general strategies with high compute tend to outperform expert systems"

Oh but now that's not good enough, the AI needs to play and experiment and *that* is the *real* bitter lesson.

The AI doomers are still around but the vibe has shifted. Rather than the prosaic, holier-than-thou attitude of the previous years, the entire tone has shifted to "poor us, we're the chosen few... but no one gets it... no one is listening... oh well... le sigh"

Such an interesting phenomenon

Once, my dog saw shadows on ground of big fat bees flying above him.

He kept trying to catch the shadows.

No matter what we did, we couldn't convince him that the bees over his head were real.

Thus is the nature of the Internet, and all of you reading this.

That unmatched sense of satisfaction when you have the most powerful AI available at your fingertips but you're so content you have no further questions.

I'm considering moving here from x (Twitter) because of rampant anti semitism and the fact that x is becoming an all out race to the bottom.

In 2026 an AI will do your taxes for you, and it will find every single exception, exemption, and loophole that applies to you.

If there was a human who could do everything that LLMs can do today, they'd be the most famous person on the planet.

US sets tariffs for solar panels from Southeast Asian nations U.S. trade officials announced on Friday a new round of tariffs on solar panel imports from four Southeast Asian nations after American manufacturers complained that companies there are flooding the market with unfairly cheap goods.

This is madness. If other countries want to sell us solar on the cheap so we can expedite adoption of clean energy, let them. Either climate change is a crisis, or it isn't.
