I couldn't agree more. It's often when you are in the depth of the details that I make important decisions on how to engineer the continuation.

Being smart and being capable are two different things. Human beings are very capable

Being smart is a waste of calories if you don't use it to become more capable. At least in evolved systems, I wouldn't expect to find intelligence without capability.

I do think that human beings owe a lot two their two hands and fingers (besides their smarts). Even if a dolphin or an orca is indeed very smart, they will never be as capable as a human due to their physicality.

I'm sorry to hear. I don't know the reason why your financee don't want kids.

I have been very hesitant to have kids for a long time for many reasons. My wife have been wanting to have kids, so have felt quite conflicted.

Then this year I read the book after the spike which put a lot of this in perspective which made the thought of having kids less daunting somehow.

I wish both of you well in how you navigate the path forwards.


What do you mean, keep the barriers low?


Except asahi doesn't run on m5


I start to genuinely wonder where the place for us humans are in this. All I see is human beings being crowded out. Capital via LLMs taking the place of humans.


Somebody has to have a goal and prompt them.


One person is enough for this. And even he can be replaced by simply looping the idea creation prompt.
