> The obvious benefit is that when the kernel gets noticeably worse and terrible defects are found

At some point, you are going to have to accept that AI can out code you. And if you really are in the 99th percentile of coders, AI will be able to out code you in 3 months.

It's easier to live in reality.

Nuclear is 100% an option. Not exploring for uranium is also a choice.

Don't need AGI, we know how to fix it (nuclear), and have chosen not to, because nobody gave a fuck about the climate, it was never about global warming.

If anyone cared about the Paris Agreement nuclear adoption would have been significantly more rapid, but the fact is, it was never about climate.

Rubbish article. To what end?! Any agent that can replicate itself into commercial IoT devices will be absolutely atrocious at actually doing anything useful, never mind exploiting things. Anything that would be vulnerable to this would be even more vulnerable to regular malware, and one could stop this easier than one could stop regular malware.

The limiting factor is still compute, and it will remain compute unless we make quantum leaps in model efficiency which I seriously doubt.

Treason by British citizens against the British state. If you have to charge the CEO or board, so be it, there is a British citizen who is liable here.

I think it's maybe time to consider charging those responsible with treason.

The free trade you are referring to is just American hegemony, the Americans spoke, and the rest of the western nations stepped in line.

Almost all western countries made themselves vassals of the Americans, by choice, and then decided to no answer the call of their patron, and also decided at the same time they will do everything possible to disadvantage America while constantly saying how much they hate America.

The whole concept of international law has always just been American benevolence, and the Americans got shit in return. You can suggest the Americans should just eat shit while the rest of the world benefits, but the Americans don't think so, and they won't keep doing it.

Australians can lament the choices the Americans made all day, but Australians deliberately chose over dependency on Asia.

It's pretty insane to suggest that Iran should get nukes because Australia can't be bothered to build its own oil refineries.

Europeans can lament the choices the Americans made all day, but Europeans deliberately chose over dependency on the Americans, Chinese and Russians.

Europe can easily be more dominant than the Americans if we chose it.

We are getting tossed back a generation, but we are also becoming as rare as chicken teeth. Most people do not own a Desktop PC, most people don't even own a Laptop any longer. To do the most good for the most people requires datacentres at the moment, and it will probably remain like that for the forseeable future.

Europeans and Americans choose to make things unsustainable and unprofitable to do in Europe, and chose to make it possible to import things cheaply from places like China and India who use slave labour and destroy the environment … and then blame Capitalism.

As you like … but blaming capitalism is not going to bring industry back, and it won't stop China from using slave labour or India from using their rivers as landfills.

The wages of the West's deliberate deindustrialization and deliberate dependence on Asian manufacturing.

30 refineries were closed in Europe in the past 15 years about, and that is just a small example of a pathological situation.

My Home PC is from 2019, it has DDR4, it gets most things done, and I have never felt it was sluggish or anything. Maybe not the best gaming rig, but I get by.

How dare a developer expect revenue for his work, especially from users who we all know are, in fact, entitled to get everything for free.
