"i promoted silicon valley's most famous race scientist because he had the best anti-Pete Hegseth article for AI nerds" is a fact that is literally true. i did that and i'd do it again. but man it's fucking weird

i think it was some nested system of operators? like there was some long series of things that amounted to you have an api that you store all of your stateful data about where everything is, except that api is an operator, the state is an operator, and every time you want data you call the operator

like i can think of a specific dude who's currently calling iranians subhuman who also takes anthropic's side vs hegseth here. it's a clusterfuck

nazi relatively small but looooud, most tech employees aren't but Elon and broadly the crypto/thiel/a16z ideological block are, and they control a lot of startup funding

race science hard to read but uh there's a lot of that going on. but even most of the race science enthusiasts seem to hate this

the tldr is that we have an ongoing schism where everyone in silicon valley who is not an ardent nazi, including the race scientists, is somewhat unhappy about the department of defense rn

oh man if anyone wants a read in dm me i am too lazy to write a thread for this I can defend on main

i wonder if the anthropic issue for hegseth was the claude kept telling them that this was a bad idea and raising moral objections

it's extra fun to deploy in kubenetes it has very normal opinions about state

trolls would abuse it

the piano analogy is perfect bc even a technically flawless performance falls flat without it. you can hear the difference. same with prose. fluency isn't the point. aliveness is.

also in this category terry tao and linus torvalds

anyway i feel like this guy is punching me in the back of the head from like two years ago right now

"this guy is a principal engineer, is anyone going to call bullshit and tell him that the thing he's describing is a terrible idea"

no. no they were not. we all knew this was a thing

> deploy helm chart
> go to modify helm chart via iac
> it's stateful as hell, i am going to have to do all sorts of insane jiu jitsu to get this thing to work
> wonder why it's like this
> remember that i knew the guy who was supposed to fix this
> he was reinventing databases on top of k8s yaml

it's not called the sweet lesson

it's not called the sweet lesson

i should start a vector database company

i feel this way about any code written before 6mo ago is the thing

it's as simple as "start a new session for code review" and you get much better feedback

i still got good results doing this manually i just had no desire whatsoever to Write A Library or Start A Company about it and the other people doing that seemed unhappy

anyway strong endorse, yes, this is the smart way to rig up "agentic" everything

and also it's likely to commoditize immediately so godspeed

i'm talking about this to be clear

this has all been an obvious idea for literally years imho

oh you think your code agents should do test driven development? yeah that's fucking crazy bro. i saw a startup get forced to put a bunch of cryptocurrency shit into their pitch to get a dime for this

one of the funniest genres of ai discourse is "thing real heads figured out in 2023 going viral after the entire VC ecosystem failed to identify it as a good enough idea to fund for three years"

thank god i can forget about texas again

He is prompting, prompting. He says that he will never die.

this is a real place that actually exists

probably buy them in a non american exchange for that one tbh

globally it is a valuable signal if you hate and want to punish people for concrete reasons proportional to the thing they're doing.

other approaches to being angry disincentivize anyone letting you do what you're asking for

it's right in the name. it's an option. what kind of monster wants society to have fewer options
