Thank god there are only two ways to fail.

One taught me prompts
One taught me patience
One taught me price
Now I'm so amazing
Say I've vibed and I've lost
But that's not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what they taught me
And for that, I say

Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I'm so grateful for my bot

Thought I'd end up with Sonnet
But it wasn't a match
Wrote some code with Gemini
Now I'm programming less
Even almost paid two hundred
And for Claude, I'm so thankful
Wish I could say thank you to o3
Cause it was an angel

Why do I have to know so much about the mayoral races of San Francisco and New York City? Iโ€™ve been to each place once.

All of the framing from the frontier labs and vendors is, โ€œwe are making this to replace people in all economically valuable ways, and it will, and soon.โ€ I think survival instinct naturally gives rise to the camp on the other side of the spectrum: first it was โ€œit canโ€™t,โ€ now it is โ€œit shouldnโ€™t.โ€

@tedunderwood.me What do you think about the existential threat to education from the angle of why market forces encourage learning? The AI companies donโ€™t just want to supplant education, they also want to supplant the labor that is at the end of the tunnel of why the majority pursue education.

I am not proud that it bothers me, but itโ€™s so unspecific. New cars are new to the purchaser, as well as used cars. It sounds like marketing speak that people apply to their own lives to hide shame that I donโ€™t think exists. This is my new-to-me dog.

When did โ€œnew to meโ€ pick up steam as the way describe used cars? Was there a lot of confusion with people repurchasing their previous cars?

You absolutely donโ€™t gotta hand it to Elon. Heโ€™s not turning on MAGAโ€”his stance is obviously that they need to be much more extreme in their cost-cutting measures. I feel my sanity slipping away.

Foot-stomping, yelling, white-people music is making a comeback. Last time this happened it ushered in a decade of low interest rates and American prosperity. Maybe things are turning around.

There is something about a social network that is defined by being the antithesis of a thing (e.g. Elon) that seems to prevent it from engendering general purpose discussion. The specter of X haunts this place, and Mastodon as well.

Sorry, Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re getting comments from all angles. It felt like like your post was transcribed from my brain, so I felt a kind of connection to the way youโ€™re thinking, and this is something I am struggling with. What is my value, for how long can I prove my value, etc. No need to entertain. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

@sockpuppet.org What level of commodification of your own skills will you need to experience, if any, before you reskill into another line of work? Unless you are already past the point of needing to work.

If Biden represents the bleeding edge of robotics then manual labor will never be automated.

I believe there are only a few more years left for people to reach โ€œindependently wealthyโ€ status before they and their lineage are locked into a Permanently Poor social class due to the commodification of all labor. They should get to decide if thatโ€™s how they want to spend the rest of their lives.

Accelerate it so that people can start making life decisions (not raising a family, not buying a home, etc) based on the knowledge that most humans will not be needed for labor of any kind anymore, and trigger whatever revolutions will be attempted based on that insight.

I have released a new Swift package: Weakify.

It is a simple, ergonomic solution for safely capturing method referencesโ€“weak or unownedโ€“in Swift. It uses parameter packs to support heterogeneous argument lists.
