You're in luck, neither I nor anyone else want those people near a negotiation table.

Fair objection, but I still think it is lower risk to diffuse power and control of a potentially dangerous and revolutionary technology than to leave it in the hands of the few elites who have not show much ethical integrity so far.

That's an extremely fair objection! But despite the many, many flaws of our government and the current administration, I still have (hopefully) a chance to vote them out of power. I have no such hopes with Sam Altman or Elon Musk.

Do you think things like the Manhattan Project were a mistake? Comparing AI to nuclear weapons is perhaps a stretch, but I think most people recognize that certain technologies or artifacts are best monopolized by our governing bodies. I think if the capabilities of AI systems keep growing on trend, it is not unreasonable to think wonton usage could disrupt society or cause mass harm.

In my mind, democratic control of the technology means that we (the govt, or other empowered agency) take ownership of their assets and IP, solve or find a level of alignment or guardrails that society is comfortable with. Then we distribute the technology, or access to it, to avoid power concentration. This would also certainly require international coordination with China on a slowdown or pause, which I think is possible.

I am an AI Safety Person and I want the government to nationalize or have a significant stake in the frontier labs and to have democratic control of the development of the technology. The AI Safety movement is not a monolith. I do not think Eliezer Yudkowsky nor his acolytes should hold the reins, but a lot of folks sure like to create a strawman that anyone who wants to regulate OpenAI is somehow an EA/MIRI weirdo

Very cool! I am surprised at the use of 4o, but I guess it was pretty good at OCR for its time

As an inhabitant of Brooklyn, this is pretty funny and spot on. My only criticism is that the prices are too low. Some of the prices are fine, but the upper bound should be increased to the low 20's.

Agreed 100%. Implementing the correct algorithm/business logic is more important than spitting out junk that you don't really understand or won't pass code review.

The act of writing code is probably the easiest part of my job and I still haven't really seen these tools excel at that outside of toy examples.

On the other hand, I am pretty excited for AI code tools that me why my code is shitty beyond static analysis, linters, etc.

Sure if you work on something where performance doesn't matter

What an incredibly uninformed and ableist take. There are a plethora of illnesses and disorders that are merely coped with. With no way of improving prognosis, the best medical science can offer is attempting to improve the quality of the life of the individual while they waste away.

Oh nice, I didn't realize Blender had a visual scripting system. I knew that they had a Python API like Maya, but the visual stuff is a nice feature to have for art teams. I keep telling myself I'm going to force myself to learn Blender one day. It seems to have really matured over the years.

From a quick glance it reminds me of Unreal Niagara, or Unity Visual Effect Graph. Pretty cool.

It is extremely popular. From Flowgraph in CryEngine to Godot's VisualScript. Even Unity bought the most popular visual scripting asset package, Bolt, and made it standard for all Unity plans.

You could also critically think your way to googling "game dev visual scripting" which would tell you much of the same information.
