- Comment on The Collapse of GPT: Will future artificial intelligence systems perform increasingly poorly due to AI-generated material in their training data? 22 hours ago:
LLM are not going to be the future. The tech companies know it and are working on reasoning models that can look up stuff to fact check themselves. These are slower, use more power and are still a work in progress.

- Comment on Noncoders are using AI to prompt their ideas into reality. They call it 'vibe coding.' 4 days ago:
And get ready to haggle on price because “it’s just s few tweaks, the AI already did most of the work” even if you have to rewrite in from the ground up.

Assuming there is perfect information in the market. In reality there is heavy information asymmetry.
It also assumes free competition while we have every market dominated by a few players buying up everyone else, often with cartel like behavior.

- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 2 weeks ago:
200 watt/panel. 10 panels. 10 hours of charging. 0.2 kW x 10 x 10h = 20 kWh.
Bad mileage because of conductions, so 20 kWh / 100 km.
That means every 10 panels gets you about 100 km / 60 miles per day.
That’s just very rough based on a lot of debatable assumptions of course.
- Comment on Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever! 2 weeks ago:
They did that to drive up short term ad revenue and it worked, and joy was in their greedy little hearts. They also did figure out that poisoning search results drives away users, and that search is kinda the fastest gateway drug to their entire ecosystem.
But they’re stuck. Fixing search would lower their ad revenue, and stock holders would kill them for that.

- Comment on AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say 5 weeks ago:
And it’ll be used to suppress wages, because “you’re not making new stuff, just fixing some problems in existing code.” That you have to rewrite most of it is conveniently not counted.
That’s at least what was tried with movie writers.
