When I download an stl and 3d print it, I don't say "I made this", I say "I printed this." When I design and 3d print something, then I say "I made this."

If the LLM is doing most of the design and implementation, you didn't make anything. You had an idea, and other people's work made that idea a reality.

I've seen some promising results from solar fences. Because the panels are getting so cheap you can offset the efficiency loss by buying more. Plus, because they are vertical and double sided they get more sunlight earlier and later in the day.

Corporations are legally required to maximize shareholder's value. If reaching that goal requires them to pretend to be transparent, or fudge the numbers that they show to the public, then that's what you can expect them to do.

It's a shame, anyone who's dumb enough to believe Marc Andreessen, isn't going to be smart enough to read this article.

This grid based architecture reminds me of a programming game from zactronics, TIS-100.

I've never been able to type faster than 35 wpm and I have no idea why. I was taking the same typing lessons as the other kids in the 90s and have been writing code since high school. I can even solve a rubix cube in under 30 seconds. Feels bad man.

Art is the product of someone expressing themselves. It requires personhood and it requires intent to express one's self.

Therefore, unless you grant an autonomous AI personhood it can't create art.

However, one could use AI as a tool to express themselves and that would be art. But that's where I admit the line gets blurred.

I don't think it's right to downplay the disproportionate response the FBI had to Aaron's actions. He was initially being threatened with 50 years in prison and a $1 million fine, the stress from which sent his mental health spiraling and in no small way contributed to his suicide. I think the original point of the person you are responding to still stands.

Maybe this technique can be used for training then since that is a lot more compute intensive?
