USDT is created by a super shady company and is not at all decentralized or censorship-free. You could have made the argument for Bitcoin (and still can to a certain level) but most cryptos that propped up after that or stablecoins do not follow the hacker philosophy and more the banker one. Ironic that the whole crypto movement got co-opted by the likes of JPM which it seeked to replace.

Because radio is not the ancestor of video games. Even if you wanted to make the case, it will be painting -> photography -> silent movies... not radio. You can't bunch two different disciplines as related to each other like this even if both of them are art forms.

We still have podcasts but you think radio led to video games?

They should put AI in a car so it can drive itself or create robots that use world models...

There are companies with far more people than Anthropic that still stay coordinated. This is no excuse. Especially with customer data.

Isn't this ironically completely against the idea of not caring who gets the credit

I always thought it meant 9 women would take 9 months to create 9 babies because a baby takes 9 months to grow with the bottleneck being biology. And yes what you said applies to people but I don't get the whole "throw 9 agents into it" when it is possible to just see it as 1 agent doing 9 things? With people, yes everyone has a distinct way of doing things etc but all agents can be homogenious fully and completely sync up without any overload theoritically no?

> nine agents still can’t deliver a baby in one month.

Very weird way to say this. Like it holds true for biological beings because pregnancy by default has a fixed timeline. But how does this apply to AI? Also what even is an "agent"? Are they distinct worker units on a program or the same worker unit split into multiple instances?

Why are we assuming agent = man when its a computer program?

> saw someone cry when a person very kindly asked them to explain a discrepancy

Was it about displaying the user's birthday?

I feel that won't really stop the people who have serious problems with this shit, who actually ruin their lives

They literally raised $870 million this month. It's like people think the hype cycle = success of business for some reason. I'm sure a couple of months later, they're going to release something new, hire a lot of PR, and the same people will be "man, Jev had fallen but this new [xyz] brings them so back! [xyz] industry will now be dead!"

I mean, it's the brain, not the world around it. Our brains haven't really evolved much while civilization and technology have been growthmaxxing. Same reason why certain social media posts can trigger a physical, emotional reaction, even though for 99.99% of the time there were no cellphones or social media.
