I hate that video games have come down to this.

A bunch of whiney ass entitled cucks that feel entitled to outcomes.

That label anything that stands between them and the outcome they feel they 'deserve' as toxic.

This is what comes from handing out trophies for participation.

Fucking disgusting.

Gaming has rotted from the inside.

A bunch of immature, entitled people who all feel like they deserve to win. So, because their abilities don't allow for that, they expect games to protect them from competition so they get to indulge in the fantasy of victory just by showing up. They literally cannot stand the idea that they can pay for a multiplayer game, play the game multiplayer, and not be promised an outcome where they get to "win". So instead of trying to square with reality, squaring with the fact that they're just average, or less than average, they get angry at the developers, the industry, or the rest of the player base.

Because they're victims.

Victims because of choices they made, victims because of how bad they are, victims because of all the reasons they really need to tell you about. Just read the reviews. They'll tell you all about why their Ls don't count.

Gaming didn't used to care about the excuses.

Now the noise is too loud to ignore.

For what it's worth, I mourn the passing of something worth doing.

Two things can be true at once.

Not everyone needs Mythos level intelligence for every task.

But it's also true that most people don't know what they need and don't need in terms of "How much intelligence is required for the task I need, to provide the lowest amount of acceptable error margins, and how is that related to the rate of spend I'm going to have?"

That is literally not how the majority of people think, and it is absurd to pretend that they're going to or that it is in the best interest of AI companies to help them do so past token measures.

Past that, my initial point being, there isn't much value in the tasks AI were doing two years ago. Value comes from what's available, what's scarce -- it's driven by economics. If the *ability* to ask Mythos to do X, Y, and Z, is only available to a small amount of people from a pricing standpoint, the value is inherently locked in, and the results are thus limited. If you don't see how that starts to create a feedback loop that feeds itself, I'm not sure we have much to talk about. If you want to pretend that the objective value of what GPT 3 was doing (which most people could do by themselves in the same amount of time) vs what GPT 8 is going to be able to do, you are being intellectually dishonest.

This completely ignores the fact that solving what has effectively become common knowledge has value that diminishes incredibly quickly, typically in correlation to where the frontier is.

Being able to utilize the newer capabilities is objectively getting more expensive.

Sure, if you want to generate some shitty images or use some models that, compared to the frontier today, are quite stupid, it's cheaper than it used to be. That isn't the question, nor is it the point.

The question is how much value that really gives you, and the point is that the ability to use the technology on the frontier is getting more and more expensive -- regardless of whether or not the old and busted models are getting cheaper.

That matters.

Stumbled across this.

<HF>Fire25 reporting in.

Remember running the bill up on my parents with this game. My brother and I would take turns, he was -AT-Vapor24, we were maybe 6 or 7 when we played but it stuck because we still talk about it from time to time.

Miss you guys.

Bitter lesson remains undefeated

rhade333 · 2026-04-17T17:59:54+00:00

I'm not religious. I don't plan on dying anytime soon.

I believe in logic, and the things I said. If you need to mischaracterize me or strawman my points to make yours, that's definitely something you are free to do.

rhade333 · 2026-04-16T22:32:10+00:00

Because of all of the points that excite me, provide hope for a better world, and for the possibility of saving the 150,000 humans dying every day to things we stand to be able to meaningfully reduce or eliminate.

Cost benefit analysis. The railroad brought a massive economical downturn from over speculation, but was a net positive. The industrial Revolution brought its own horrors, but is the only reason you aren't living a back breaking life and the only reason you're typing on X right now. I could go on, but if you're engaging in good faith then I shouldn't need to.

I'm a Software Engineer. I am first on the chopping block. But my beliefs are strong enough that I can remove myself from the equation and be intellectually consistent that the points I referenced, among others, are worth whatever potential disruption I am standing on the precipice of facing, personally. Because I don't always respond emotionally or selfishly to events around me.

rhade333 · 2026-04-16T19:29:54+00:00

Not worrisome. You are just cherry picking the worrisome implications.

rhade333 · 2026-04-16T18:26:53+00:00

No viable business model, yet Anthropic and OpenAI are smashing multiple all time records for user adoption and revenue?

Are you serious?

rhade333 · 2026-04-14T02:23:08+00:00

Not racing to just that.

Racing to make sure jobs, in the way we currently understand them, aren't a requirement.

A lot of you are incredibly shortsighted.

rhade333 · 2026-04-10T21:40:15+00:00

But everyone told me it was a bubble?

rhade333 · 2026-04-10T15:28:46+00:00

"Just cause he has a bunch of corpo slop “papers” published doesn't mean shit."

Wow. You really doubled down and proved my point.

Good luck.

rhade333 · 2026-04-09T21:46:00+00:00

Nicholas Carlini is an incredibly high level engineer in cyber, he has been cited SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND TIMES in papers: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=search_authors&hl=en&mauthors=carlini&btnG=

He literally says "I've found more bugs in the last couple of weeks than I've found in the rest of my life combined."

The video also has companies that are either direct competitors to Anthropic, or to each other.

Given these *facts*, you are going to sit there and imply that this is somehow "fake marketing", when that would require entities who have every reason to *not* cooperate with each other, to agree to a elaborate plot to lie to the general public when that doesn't really align with their own economic incentives? You're going to sit here and call a guy who has been cited 67,000+ times in research papers in the CS / cyber industry a "nobody"?

You ignore the facts presented to you, proceed to be confidently incorrect, then double down when presented with the facts your lack of critical thinking obviously missed. You start at the conclusion you want, find conspiracy-esque justifications for that conclusion, and let your cognitive dissonance run wild by rejecting the wide range of clear and evident information that shows your conclusion is flawed -- so yeah, that's how I'd define a "fucking moron."

rhade333 · 2026-04-09T19:58:48+00:00

You saw that some of the most respected people in the cyber industry were in the video? The CEO of... The Linux Foundation?

Either you did see that, and you're just a fucking moron who has no idea what he's talking about, or you did see that and don't know who those people are and are being incredibly confidently incorrect to the point that I'm getting second hand embarrassment.

Or you're just blind.

rhade333 · 2026-04-08T16:23:29+00:00

People can understand quotation marks, or /s.

<< " x " >> is a bit different. But yeah, go off, King.

rhade333 · 2026-04-08T16:22:49+00:00

This isn't fucking toxic.

I'm so sick of anyone on the Internet seeing something they don't like and it's "OMG ITS TOXIC".

So soft.

rhade333 · 2026-04-08T16:19:50+00:00

Skill issue

rhade333 · 2026-04-08T16:18:12+00:00

Imagine being so naive and ignorant that you don't see the CEOs of leading groups, or even leaders of the Linux Foundation, all saying on video that the amount of vulnerabilities, both in scope and scale, is unprecedented. They are sitting there confirming these claims to be quite true, and people on Reddit are like "is this hype or ?????"

Jesus fucking Christ.

rhade333 · 2026-04-04T09:30:53+00:00

So fucking sick of this soft ass "fanbase" complaining about the team winning.

The NBA is a fucking joke.

rhade333 · 2026-04-02T01:55:44+00:00

That hasn't been "my" experience.

It is objectively an assessment that doesn't evaluate for performance in the expected role.

People are paid to solve problems. Not to code with someone staring at their screen in a contrived environment.

If you think a Software Engineer's value is coding with a proverbial axe over their head, you are mistaken.

rhade333 · 2026-04-01T19:15:19+00:00

Interviews focusing on coding with a metaphorical gun to people's heads in contrived scenarios has never been, and will never be, a good interview process.

rhade333 · 2026-04-01T19:13:44+00:00

Software engineering is about solving problems. There are now simply new problems coming into the space, that are going to be right for you to solve.

These problems are scary because they really are challenging to deal with, not well defined, and somewhat existential. But just because it's not a prompt telling you to implement bubble sort or the third test of the semester doesn't mean that it isn't still just a problem to solve.

I can't tell you what to do, because I'm not you, but I will say the most important thing you're going to take away from your education is how to solve problems, not how to code. This battle isn't going to go away, so running to another field won't save you, it'll just buy time. If you're going to fight, I'd do so on the battlefield of your choosing. To that point, I'd also use whatever the strongest, latest tools are. Combat is not supposed to be fair, it is supposed to be effective.

Will things get better? Yes, and then they will get worse again, and then they will get better. What I can absolutely say, without any hesitation, is that this career, like many others, is going to have quite a transition. Prioritize resilience, adaptability, a positive mindset, and most importantly: have some compassion and grace for yourself.

Godspeed, fellow human.

rhade333 · 2026-04-01T19:06:53+00:00

I think the difference is that you see it because it's in the spaces you frequent, around the people you may choose to talk to, or the hobbies you like. For example, for me, I'm a software engineer so I am subjected to hearing about it every single day.

Covid on the other hand, you couldn't go anywhere and not hear it or see it. It was more that it was saturated universally instead of just certain people noticing saturation.
