As far as I can tell, "slop" doesn't have a clear definition. It seems to just mean "AI used poorly or obviously". Nobody cares if a developer of a game uses AI as long as it's done well. They might not even know.

The idea that there is a future where game devs don't use AI, while the rest of the industry does, is absurd. We do know that AI will be widely embraced in gaming, because the alternative is, what? The honor system?

> What Dyson sphere level of power would be needed to maintain such a simulation

Why would you assume energy is relevant to whoever turned on our simulation? If I created a simulation where the only source of energy was cotton candy, my creations might ask "but where would our creator even get enough cotton candy to run a simulation like this", not realize that it's absurd to think that the creator of a simulation has any of the same constraints that exist inside the simulation.

I don't get how Google is so horrible at product. Let me play with this. Otherwise it's DOA.

Surely you can see how that isn't much of a distinction. And even that is something that the west clearly should not allow.

Isn't that entirely because investors are betting on on Musk succeeding though? Lunar base / Mars colony / hundreds of daily starship launches is the long game. It's no different than Anthropics entire valuation being based on ASI. If they never achieve ASI, 2 trillion is the most insane valuation of all time. If they achieve it, 2 trillion will be your worst missed opportunity of all time.

> We know Tesla and SpaceX are going down at some point

How do we "know" that about SpaceX? Still seems to me like they're basically maintaining their decade lead on everyone else on rocketry. And remaining competitive in their other endeavors as well. To me it doesn't seem at all unreasonable for SpaceX to never be meaningfully cheaper than it is today. But I'm not exactly following SpaceX closely. What am I missing?

Apple was "greedy" before too and were able to sell it cheaper. So obviously they're being impacted by increased storage/memory/whatever prices.

> AI does not solve this problem

AI absolutely solves that problem. Just about every prompt "fixes" the dried out pieces of the code. And it's only getting better at that every month.

Sometimes I feel like people are experiencing AI so differently that it makes talking about it nearly impossible.

"gets" is certainly a word choice. There is about a 0% chance NM get's anywhere near $25 billion

> Let's remember nothing cigarette companies did were illegal as well

What are you getting at? That we should jail people for not breaking laws?

The fact that you're comparing this to fucking Hitler is insane. Even you know it, which is why you were too embarrassed to say it.

Your way of working is definitely going away. And quickly. The idea of reviewing code today is already a questionable use of time. In a few more months to a year it will clearly be a waste of time.

Way to go, you missed the point. The point is you can't conclude which speed to move at is responsible or irresponsible without significantly more information.
