when the going gets weird the weird turn pro.

rules are there to serve power

people aren't rational actors. given your work passes a basic functional bar, if you are well liked, your work will be valued. if you are not liked, people will pick your work apart. these mechanisms feed back on one another but your narrative leads me to believe you /have/ forged meaningful relationships and are more well liked than you realize.

and this is exactly why you will be seen as disposable and the first to go when layoffs happen.

personal relationships are very important, arguably more important that your raw performance.

this is the correct answer. nobody internal ends up as the "bad guy".

in america AI harnesses you.

you don't know me very well lol.

You're right of course when you're talking about people. I believe there is a lot of low-hanging fruit for optimizing the performance of these models. that's actually what my startup is doing.

if you give me a smarter model I will find a more complex problem for it to work on that will require an exponential number of sub-agents.

the smarter the model the more capable it is to marshal resources to accomplish the goal.

this means you don't need a smart person to be able to take advantage of this. a smart model will be able to do the same.

the economics of this are a little counterintuitive.

is there a market saturation point for intelligence? how about for software? it seems like the more you have the more you want because you're trying to do more things.

as the models get smarter I get busier because I'm doing more things...

this is my all-time favorite priest song.

he had great taste in metal. most of the tracks were adapted (now classic) speed/thrash metal.

if you think AI is slowing down, you may not be smart enough to tell the difference anymore.
