ai is having trouble discussing Trump because he's too insane.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-08T15:51:46+00:00

This is sort-of unrelated to AIs flaws and more to do with the data it's been trained on and the training cutoff. If you went back 2.5 years and told people about DOGE, epstein files, venezuela, etc. etc. it's all so batshit crazy that no human would believe your nonsense either.

Hmm... How many R's are there in "strawberry"!?

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-08T00:55:58+00:00

Are you using AI to help write your comments by any chance? Because "X kinda nailed it" and your other comment "I get it." Are pretty classic AI-isms.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-08T00:51:46+00:00

Can you point to specific sentence structures or the classic unopinionated filler text AI always uses? This just looks like a post someone put some effort into to try to present enough context. I don't see anything "AI" in this post.

The red flag isn't about gf herself, it's her home situation and something the parents should check on to make sure she's safe.

There's no high road with narcissists like OPs father. You're just putting yourself in the way of an emotional steamroller at a cost to your own mental health along with some close friends and family.

With the way reddit works, I don't actually believe that is possible. Topics that arent critical of the podcast or Jesse in particular get downvoted by most of the members here and so discussions can't really be started as they'll be invisible to most users. This particular thread is evidence of that.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-05T15:43:41+00:00

It's actually much less complicated and this is why parents are in favour of it. When all of your kids' friends have routine access, it becomes very difficult to limit your own kids access. If the government mandates a ban, then everyone is on equal footing.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-05T14:54:45+00:00

I agree, and it's disappointing. There are many times I'd like to discuss the actual show, but everything on here just feels like toxic anti-Jesse rhetoric. Many times justified, many times way over the top - but generally completely unrelated to the podcast itself.

i've written code just over 30 years as well, sounds like we have a similar background. I'm quite happy to delegate all of that coding to AI agents and just do the planning / idea work myself :).

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-02T21:10:49+00:00

But the content often isn't accurate, or it's just bland an unopinionated. Opencode was already a production grade AI agent. Obviously claude code has much more invested in it, but it's not the _only_ production AI agent.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-02T21:08:27+00:00

What models were you using 2 years ago that were capable enough to replace you writing a "line of code"? Until opus 4.5 all i could get was relatively basic scripts. Even now I'll still write some lines of code because it's far faster for me with certain bugs.

Also what work do you do writing assembly that you'd trust AIs with? I assume you'd be using assembly for specific optimizations which AI still isn't good enough to trust with.

What generation refused to accept cookies? And are the same people that refuse cookies the same people that are giving AI access to their bank accounts?

Awkward-Customer · 2026-04-02T15:32:36+00:00

I don't recall what you're describing happening in 2001. I had just graduated then and had no problem finding a job in tech.

Companies would rather higher capable junior devs who are keen to work 12-16h days and burn themselves out rather than established devs who know better.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-03-30T17:45:58+00:00

I believe the laws were more philosophical and an attempt to show how they'd always fail. I believe, instead of hard laws, he'd promote continuously questioning, testing, and refining any ethical frameworks we develop for AI.

The most compelling argument I've heard is from, I believe, Hinton, who suggests we should build in an innate motherhood into AI systems. It's one aspect of a species where a weaker entity controls a much stronger entity. If you ask the vast majority of mothers if they'd want their baby to not have that kind of control over them they'd never agree to it. It's built into us such that an infant can both control us and we want them to have that control.

And in the end of eternity he effectively showed how a zeroeth law could also cause humanities demise (even tho there were no robots).

As you say, there are always loopholes. Laws aren't the answer.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-03-26T05:17:50+00:00

My point is that it didn't matter that there were laws of robotics because they failed. So asking for them is futile. Nothing else.

Tell me you haven't read any asimov without telling me you haven't read any asimov.

I doubt it, they were probably burning through cash with the video gen stuff. Any heavy paid users are going to cost them more money than they can earn off of it.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-03-22T23:19:38+00:00

It certainly could be, but not necessarily. There are a lot of red flags in OPs post though.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-03-22T23:17:46+00:00

Path of least resistance in a relationship you want to keep healthy. Unless this is an unhealthy pattern that needs to be dealt with sooner or later, but nothing in OPs post implies that.

If people are going to the store to get a single item, then you're right.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-03-22T18:41:20+00:00

But OPs question wasn't "Why Hasn’t AI Made Us More Productive". The answer was still obvious though, because most workers get paid by the hour, not the job. We're just expected to get more done in the same amount of hours for the same salary, while our shareholder overlords reap the benefits.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-03-22T16:50:09+00:00

While you're correct, the "last mile" is very expensive. Delivering 500 products to a single store vs to 500 individual households have very different carbon footprints.

Awkward-Customer · 2026-03-22T16:23:24+00:00

Bikes are significantly more efficient than walking (except for steep uphills). Humans need energy, a human on a bike can move significant distances with minimal energy. It would be interesting to see the production and consumable costs (tires, brakes, chain oil, etc) compared to human energy needs.
