Not sure what these cars are all about. Everyone travels by horse and buggy…

We’re building a model optimized for the machine, not people.

Artists can go collect clay to sculpt and flowers to convert to paint. Computers are their own context and should not be romantically anthropomorphized

In the same way fewer and fewer people go to church, fewer and fewer will see the nostalgia in being a data entry worker all day. Society didn’t stop when we all got our first beige box.


This is an incredibly dull, unthinking regurgitation of the nonsense people say online to feel better about their own lack of creative ability. My point wasn’t that computers can’t do the same thing as artists (they already can), it’s that computers won’t achieve the same result by having people describe the images they want to see because that’s fundamentally not how images are made or even perceived.


I play three instruments, draw, sculpt, and used to build houses.

No one ever set a goal for AI to achieve the same result; just replace labor.

Your post is the same dull strawman non-engineers (I also have a BSc in engineering and MSc in math) repeat about AI.

Find me a formal proof of how “images are made” and I’ll show you one possible model of an infinite number of possible models to explain it with a few axiomatic correct twists to the math since all of our symbolic logic is a leaky abstraction that fails to capture how anything is “fundamentally made”.

Pretentious semantic wank is all you’re shipping


They hide behind coded socio-political and economic language to externalize their real needs on others, inflate their buying power, burn more fossil fuels.

The fiat wealth model is politically contrived misdirection. Physics makes no mention of a fundamental currency policy or sacred economic model. It’s 100% socialized propaganda there’s a communal upside to capitalism as we know it, not immutable physics.


If it comes to armed conflict among the general population those fiat dollars vanish, past contracts are void.

I think you grossly overestimate the number of people who actually value the existence of Bezos and Musk types. Most among the right and left voters see them as lazy non-contributors, propped up by political corruption.

The right feels serving a king under a different name is wrong. The left finds it anti-scientific and conservative to preserve the rich given their wealth is heavily influenced by conservative politics. It’s a good thing for elites the right leaning voters are easily manipulated, since “both sides” voters polled actually want the same thing; the rich minority to be gutted and their power handed over to local communities.
