I've tried LLM agents for coding. I find they they do an OK job at getting a small project off the ground. Afterwards they're useless for me. However, it really depends if you're writing code that's essential a copy & paste of common code on the internet or if you're writing something new. What I haven't tried is using agents only to unit test my code. That could possibly work out ok.

I've been writing software for 30 years. Honest code reviews take more mental effort than writing the code yourself, unless the changes are small and clearly and verifiably well tested. Proper design for unit testing is hard and beyond the capabilities of AI. Hence, you can't really do better than a human software engineer, yet.

Most people running Linux do not use it as a multiuser system. Most people have the root password. I don't picture dad giving their teenager a login to their Linux laptop. The teenager would have root on their own Linux laptop and could set any birthday they want.

...on its face as it boots up?

Their other bot problem is that they frequently flag for TOS violations when you're saying the opposite of a violation. Like, if you say "I object to the notion that women shouldn't have equal rights" the bot will flag you for the phrase "women shouldn't have equal rights." So the only safe thing is to not even touch topics that relate to their TOS.

But the positive things I or others do, shouldn't be a requirement to criticize an decrees in public funding for those things, or the lack of personal charity. Say what you want about Gates, he does appear to be incredibly creepy, however at least he has given huge chunks of money away and I hope he continues to do that.

Personally, More than any financial adviser says is prudent, given my income level. I used to be hands on in the trenches, but funding was bad, so I figured the better way was to work for much more money and donate to the hands on charities doing the work.

C'mon Elon, you could have used petamicrowatt units to justify calling it a petafab chip plant. I'm disappointed in your imagination for exaggeration

American industry doesn't have this kind of agility anymore

Nothing I do compares to idiot politicians starting wars and burning millions of gallons of oil, gas and tons of ordinance. I'll pick up trash in my neighborhood and make sure my car doesn't ruin my local air quality. Otherwise, nothing I do matters for global warming, even voting as the last blue guy blew up a gas pipeline too.

What were the "Horrifying ways" exactly? Getting a judge to issue a warrant? Thats obviously a precedent that the government has turned away from using.

Ok Snowden referenced, can we clear the air with him finally? He stole some information and had the guts to divulge it at high personal cost to himself. Great Good and Great. But don't fucking listen to any thing he has to say outside of it. He fled to Russia, which, if it is better at personal liberties than the United states, its only because it doesn't have more money to institute more surveillance. He has no great insight. He did a good thing, that doesn't make him president of doing good things, and certainly not a God like figure others hold him up to be.

Here here, agreed. Good thing all the libertarians who really valued personal freedom guaranteed in the constitution backed the one person who absolutely did not value any of the constitution at all. Good job principled conservatives You see when you say you believe something, you have to actually act on those beliefs and not just use them as a shield for your rampant xenophobic, misogynic, racist beliefs.

What!!! Sam Altman not following through with a promise!?! A legal one at that ?!?! Just screwing people over when ever it suits him?!? Crazy times when you can't trust the guy no one trusts at all and was fired over his blatant lies.

No man, you just aren't on enough LSD to understand. AI on planes, like Autopilot on cars but for planes! They can be like self flying, except for the take off and landing. Those will be real coming soon, probably in two months in Full Self Flying Beta, but will require a pilot to have his hands on the controls at all times and cost $200,000 a month per plane pilot combination. Now Full Self Flying un assisted can will be by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval which we've been told will absolutely happen. Then Full Self Flying, look ma no hands edition will be early next year. Then Full self flying, no pilot in seat q2 next year. Then Full self flying no pilot in cockpit in q3. Then full self flying no pilot secretly flying from the back of plan in q4. Before the final full self flying no "pilot" on same plane, but qualified flight director disguised as mid flight entertainment clown and "playing the part of some one flying the plane". the following year.
