The stupidity of European politicians is that extreme, it cannot be explained away by assuming a lack of education. I was never a conspiracy theorist, but the discrepancy between "That's something an educated person should understand" and what they are actually doing is that large I cannot bridge it mentally.

This may be a defect of mine, it probably is, but I have no but.

A good software developer / engineer knows how systems interlink.

AI supercharges that. If you trust the agent's results, you can focus on far higher-level aspects. You can deliver software that was in theory in reach for you, but not in practice, else you hired 30-50 developers doing the actual work for you.

This is different from a PO / PM perspective. They manage people that know their business. You manage agents that just implement code. That'll stay true for at least a few years, I'd say.

In fact, I'm quite sure that engineering-minded people will survive AI the longest. I was of the opposite opinion a few months ago.

Energy density. This would be approximately 10^9 to 10^10 times the capacity of a real cell, would be better than fusion fuel, and almost 1% of the theoretical maximum.

Three clicks, no info what effect 4.0 is, except that it's AI-ready, safe, good, and re-built from the ground up. No idea what it actually is.

"Please, please forbid Chinese models!"

More nuanced take: you could say guardrails are important. However, "free" models will continue to exist. Abliteration is a thing with open weights.

Bad actors don't care about laws, especially with high stakes.

Opus 5.5 is a game changer for me. Super-heavy and deep algorithmic work on a pet project of mine - managed to produce 5% weekly usage in 8 hours. With Opus 5 - interspersed with Fable for supervision and guidance - I'd have used 12-15% in the same time. Mostly void of claudisms; and the results actually work, on a level that's almost on par with Fable.

Impressed.

Killer as in: killing US economics, ammunition, bonds, owning and clearing the strait of Hormuz, protecting Saudi pipelines, rusty aircraft carriers, etc.pp.?

The gall of writing such a piece is really hard to digest.

The Houthis, of all involved, using actual AI to attack Saudi pipelines is satire at its best.

This period of time will be the stuff you tell your grandchildren, if you have any, and they'll just look at you in disbelief.
