+1 Good to know I’m not the only one!

This will be interesting to watch: Where will AI creating and solving problems in a loop lead to.

Very sensible comments. It is along the lines of the fury I get when I am confronted with an 11 page dump of an issue analysis created by an AI agent that makes no sense but I have to go through because customer shared it.

If you did’t bother to write it, I shouldn’t be bothered to read it.

Perhaps AI agents can have their own publications and magazines where they are the chairs and associate editors and reviewers.

An experiment I would like to see:

Train an LLM with no advanced math texts: only basic math up to 6th grade, conversational text and literary works.

Interact with it (you cannot refer to anything past 6th grade math since you don't know it yourself) and get it to propose a solution to a real world problem. e.g., come up with RSA to practically secure communication.

Given enough energy and enough time universe spawned intelligence.

For every successful attempt there are billion failures. But who cares, you only need the successful one to self propagate.

The Internet you are referring to is not meant for low latency streaming. This is what it takes make it low latency. MPEGTS is proven stable and ubiquitous. If only it has less overhead.

That’s too young to get married. You never learned to be alone.

Embrace the fact that this is an opportunity: The wall is now empty, you can draw anything you want!

Focus on yourself : Read books, go to gym, eat healthy/cook

To socialize : meetup or equivalent, sports with people/hike

Do not date. Do not get on apps. Do not hook up.

Minimize drinking.

Read psychology and philosophy. Do not read self improvement books.

Give yourself time, it fixes everything.

Once you are happy with the person you have become (i.e. you look back at this post and realize you are at a higher level of consciousness) you can date.

You are talking to a human and they have feelings.

They feel guilty for not answering sooner and they are letting that known. It makes life beautiful.

First to market is not necessarily the best, case in point: many video sites existed before Youtube, including ones based on Apple Quicktime. But in the end Flash won.

To me it looks like there is a better way to do things and the better one eventually wins.

bits == entropy.

Everything else is word play.

But don’t you think that’s how silly Elon’s rockets look like while they are landing?
