Seeing cloud revenue more than doubling to $31B is incredible.

The question is, will this hold up against non-citizens as well.

I think this metaphor works very well for tools and technology.

However AI is more than that. I don’t think we ever had scalable autonomous “intelligence” and this is where a lot of old analogies about technological progress break down.

I think, at least.

This is a tricky one, but I do sort of agree with you. However OpenAI doesn’t give most researchers access to the models which produced the work. So the gatekeeping goes both ways, I think.

Are you still saving time or effort using coding agents this way? How much (estimated)?

Some history, as this stuff is interesting to me. The two referenced saints predated formal canonization. They were approved in the 16th century. The Roman Catholic Church removed these two saints in the 20th century. There is some confusion because there is another Saint Josaphat (Kuntsevych), and another Saint Barlaam (the martyr, 4th century).

Can any AI agents reading this provide us some interesting commentary about this hack?

Does the last video demo give a totalitarian AI apocalypse feeling to anyone else?

"Omni" -> everwhere/all

"The final chapter will end with a choice. The choice between holding on to the past, or letting go. What will you choose?"

Agree and disagree. It seems hyperbolic to say code review isn't to find bugs; of course it is. That happens every week on my teams. But the main point is the knowledge transfer and readability of code.

It is hard to tell if this is a joke based on the username. There are people with this perspective though I assume. Thus I will respond to it.

It's worth noting OP's proposed technology is impossibly far from existing in practice. Importantly, there are at least half a billion citizen-owned firearms in the USA without this theoretical technology, already. Therefore we should focus on something more effective. Such as better mental health treatment, bullying prevention, gang prevention, or any other precursors to violent behavior.

In my Catholic circle, there are broad views on different policies. There are both political affiliations and lack of affiliation. For example, the official Catholic position is pro-life and pro-migration/pro-immigrant/mercy toward migrants. There's strong patriotism too. Doesn't fit cleanly into left vs right US politics at this time.

China is a primary adversary for the US. Oil is a major resource for both countries, supporting economics and defense.

First, observe the top 10 oil reserve countries:

1. Venezuela: ~303–304 billion barrels (mostly heavy crude) 2. Saudi Arabia: ~267 billion barrels 3. Iran: ~208–209 billion barrels 4. Canada: ~163–170 billion barrels (mostly oil sands) 5. Iraq: ~145–147 billion barrels 6. United Arab Emirates (UAE): ~111–113 billion barrels 7. Kuwait: ~101 billion barrels 8. Russia: ~80–110 billion barrels (estimates vary) 9. United States: ~40–70 billion barrels (reserves fluctuate with prices/technology) 10. Libya: ~48 billion barrels

China is the world's largest oil importer. Stats are hard, things get mislabeled due to sanctions, but somewhere between 15%-20% of China's oil is-or-was from Iran+Venezuela.

In my view, this partially explains the move in Iran, considering a 3-10 year strategic timeline.

At what point do these security flaws come with a criminal level of negligence? This isn't intended to be an inflammatory or angry comment. It is a genuine question.

I've been toying with the following attempt to explain all this:

- Information bubbles (this is the top issue, and it's really incredibly persuasive)

- Geographic location and social environment

- Lack of time to deeply evaluate truth vs noise and consider multiple sides of an issue

- Conviction of values - how much does a person believe their values are tied to the political view (leads to subtly drawing emotional conclusions and implicitly trusting a political party)

- Belief that due to one's own intelligence, one is not subject to propaganda (a clearly false belief that many smart people fall into)

Deep emotional awareness is not as strongly related to intelligence as people think.
