- Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system 1 week ago:
Not really, it’s the corruptions that dun it …even with a functional justice system the judiciary can keep stepping in for political reasons, lobbyists, money, corruption.
The problem will always be money and power.
- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 1 week ago:
Depends what you mean by AI…
…but I guess currently the main difference is that the dot-com boom basically was the internet. It was huge but we thought it was small.
The AI boom is small, but we think it’s huge.
We think it’s going to replace, invade, and take over everything all at once. It’s not. The models take work to be constrained. The training data takes time to find and cleanse. The applications and use cases have to be married to good data sets and modeled to functional outcomes.
We thought the internet was just people with journals, blogs, and geocities pages… It turned out to be ebay, youtube, reddit, instagram, tiktok, Facebook, Amazon.
Right now we think AI will be in everything doing everyone’s jobs …but it will probably be a bunch of smaller tools. Translators, cancer finders, copy editors, face scanners, better security cameras, better search engines…
The applications are still uncertain, but seem kind of smaller than we first thought. Ubiquitous (probably) but not larger than life.
The dot com boom was larger than life.
But I think the biggest difference is that AI will most likely need the internet. The dot com thing WAS the internet.
“AI” is kind of subordinate, or seems smaller in some sense. It’s more like lots of small changes. They’ll each make life a little easier, but it will all feel separate rather than some giant face in the sky that speaks intelligence into society or controls the world.

Start a group that’s anti-capitalist, anti-traditional marriage, or atheist in America and it now counts as a terrorist organization…
…so the rules on posting memes are probably pretty light in comparison.

- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 1 week ago:
I literally said “I don’t care either way”.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 1 week ago:
You either do it diligently because you want to dream more, or you don’t because you’re fine “not dreaming”.
I don’t care either way, but intentionality and belief are a factor.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 1 week ago:
Keep a dream journal, eventually you’ll start remembering them.

- Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor 4 weeks ago:
Nah, the correct business model is to have a system that’s easy to develop for to the point that it has a large and exciting open source and homebrew community attached (which you encourage with events and competitions), and you’re just basically selling them hardware, code, merch, tutorials, assets, and getting a cut of their game sales.
…the you also release your own games, and later spin off the IPs into globally recognized characters and franchises.
