One of my favorite parts about using AI instead of StackOverflow is that I don't have to justify my request to a bunch of pompous people who pretend they know all of the details of my requirements and that I'm an idiot for wanting to do something a particular way. AI will often have some great alternative suggestions if it questions my proposed implementation, but at the end of the day it gives me solutions to the exact scenario I specified.

Trump's order effectively serves two purposes:

• - Shows which oligarchs are willing to put themselves on leashes for him
• - Projects more power for Trump than the law actually bestows

Under normal circumstances, it would be entertaining to watch the world's richest and most powerful people utterly humiliate themselves just for the opportunity to gain a little more wealth and power. However, the fact that their capitulation bolsters Trump's power robs me of all enjoyment. Power can't be taken without being relented. If people come to believe that Trump actually has the power to do things that the law doesn't allow, they won't resist being robbed of that power.

The whole thing is nothing short of amazing: you can be worth more than a trillion dollars and it still can't buy you dignity, autonomy, or self-respect. They've completely enslaved themselves to greed and I have zero sympathy for them since it's a choice they continuously opt to make. Keep dancing, puppets! We can't enjoy it now, but we can put it in the vault and laugh at you after all of this shit finally blows over.

AI allows drawing conclusions from mass movement information, it is beyond just someone's location, it would allow predicting market moves based on movement of groups of people.

This is not just about following any one person, this is about information movement, following a group of people who work on the same project for example to understand when they are going towards the same site / goal. This is beyond dangerous.

Why the anger against crypto bros? The damage on the crypto market is limited to those that participate in the crypto industry - anyone outside the crypto market is safe. Being out of the crypto market means not involved either directly or indirectly.

Seriously, did you even bother to read TFS? Of course not...

I'm pretty sure I can't just go climb up on traffic light support arms and install my own cameras without some kind of legal authority - why can these guys?

Because you didn't get the local police department to agree to ToS which one party can change on a whim to say whatever they want after you initially agreed. I have no idea what their ToS actually state and I'm not sure anyone in the police departments do either. Who wastes the time to read what I imagine is 20+ pages of legal documents written to be purposely difficult to understand and can be changed whenever one party of the agreement wants?

We all thought the road to fascism would paved via authoritarians handing over power in pay-to-play schemes (and there's certainly been a lot of that in the past two years) but another avenue is for private organizations to fuck over the government using the same means they've been using to fuck over private citizens. These companies are effectively writing their own legislation with no oversight and no legal recourse other than "take our latest terms or leave". Eventually they're going to push the wrong people too far and get what they deserve, but they've been pushing for a surprisingly long time with virtually no repercussions.

Uh, and how will pension funds and individual retirees deal with the losses?

The stock market is full of individual and institutional investors, trying to raise funds to pay for workers retirement plans - not faceless "oligarchs" stroking their hairless cats in mountain side lairs plotting the exploitation of the working class...

Bullshit.

But thank you for not pulling in "Epstein Class" overlords into today's mindless response - it's a refreshing change from your usual responses...

What?

"Retailers" and "wholesalers" are "(using) up capacity for the next 3 years? What are you talking about?

You think "Best Buy" is negotiating for RAM with the MFG? No, it's server Mfg lining up RAM for the servers they expect to build to stuff inside AI datacenters.

"Retailers" and "Wholesslers" don't buy raw RAM from manufacturers.

> No idea where you get your numbers from.

Yet you should have an idea. I very clearly wrote above that they came from FAOSTAT, the statistical arm of the United Nation’s “Food and Agricultural Organization”.

> Rice harvest in Thailand is not even 50% of what it used to be 10 years ago.

That’s blatantly false. In fact, total Thailand rice production is UP about 10 percent higher than a decade ago. And, in fact, total world rice production is UP 30 percent versus two decades ago.

> Perhaps somewhere they started to grow some, and it evens out a bit. Who knows?

The U.N. FAO knows! Agricultural production measurement has been its mandate for decades.

> In North East Thailand - Isaan, the current rice situation is a CATASTROPHE! Either this year this area has a drought or a floor, or the other area next year.

Irrelevant. Just as within any country of the world, variance within any specific location within Thailand is fully expected from year to year, and doesn’t predict the country’s nor the world’s total production.

Malthusian “CATASTROPHE” doom narratives don’t survive contact with reality, and, sadly, policies based on such narratives increase human suffering. Why? Because instead of planning based on facts, they ultimately misdirect wealth away from practical and efficient solutions. This is exactly why Bill Gates has recently realigned his guidance to basically mirror Bjorn Lomborg’s.

How will we ever survive? hardly Free Speech Central, is it? Reddit is a groupthink shithole, filled with National SOCIALISTS who call other people National SOCIALISTS. A bit like this site with the same few morons voted up to +5 for the most brainwashed takes imaginable. If you get rid of free speech, then sooner or later, you become irrelevant. Like BlueCry, because it's boring, preaching to the woke choir.

LOL it was the last crash that created the "you're the product" tech industry. Everyone woke in 2000 and realized nobody had a real business plan, and started sell; tech's answer was monitize the users.

Holly crap dude you think with regulating big tech is going to give you more freedom. I have 20% share in the Brooklyn Bride if you are interested, I am willing to sell for pennies on the dollar!

Seriously all regulating AI will do is make it harder or impossible for open source and open models. Regulation is what Anthropic and OpenAI want, they are littleral asking for it. Why? Because they only have a realistic revenue stream and by extension business if either; the history of computers getting faster and cheaper suddenly stops.. or they can someone legally keep people from publishing stuff and others from selling hardware. That is 100% what that is all about no matter what they say, and Democrats will play right into it. We all better hope they don't get both Houses.

Rewriting legacy code in itself makes sense if the idea is to extend and improve the project, add new features, increase functionality. For this purpose, however, you need a person with access to all of the documentation and understanding of why the code exists, not a person who can ask an LLM to rewrite the code simply by using the existing code base as the documentation base. Before rewriting the code what needs to be done is documentation needs to be created (if it doesn't exist) and business requirements need to be collected, basically normal business analysis and product management, once you have that you can hand it over to a developer.

Starting with a developer is probably a recipe for failure in this case.

- lets just make sure we get behind it during the other 99.9% of the time..

That's what YOU think! There's already a team on their way to your house.
