Comment correct incentives (Score 1) 151

Well, there have to be correct incentives for someone to be in software, I got into it because I liked the idea of being able to control a machine, to be able to tell a computer what to do and it would do it.

Would I have the same interest in it 40 years ago if controlling the computer meant writing in human language that is imprecise and nuanced and receiving back code that I couldn't start to comprehend? Maybe, maybe not, I am not sure actually. If there was still a way for me to do this without the AI I probably would have gone that route but how many people today would do it? I mean people are telling Agents to write their letters for them, not code, just letters. People are telling agents to do all sorts of things, all of which probably saves some time, make some errors, creates some problems while solving others, it is just that none of it is actually understood by the user.

How many AI users understand how any of it works? But that was the point, to understand how the thing works to be able to control it.

It is similar to car mechanics, people who like to tinker with cars, how interesting is it to tinker with a car where you are not allowed to understand half of it and you cannot fix most of it, if something breaks you have to order an entire replacement part because it has a built in computer interface.

"he made the bet, and being in jail is the outcome."

Does he think that since bitcoin went up and all his investors were made whole, his bet eventually paid off and they jailed him prematurely because a competitor of his spread rumors and his employees said whatever it took to get plea deals?

"How much more tax are you willing to pay to support that?"

How much more tax do I currently pay for mass transit I never use? $500 car tabs, anyone?

Gemini:

"The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) tax rate on car tabs for residents living within the Sound Transit boundaries in King County is 1.1%. This translates to $110 per year for every $10,000 of your vehicle's calculated value. [...] The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) tax is strictly used to fund the construction, expansion, and daily operations of the Sound Transit mass transit system."

"the waste heat that's dumped outside has some potential to worsen local urban climate"

Do datacenters use more efficient cooling than residential AC (Copilot says yes)?

Why don't heat dome doomers mention that the AC they recommend you turn on makes the heat dome that much worse?
