• “Tech news and articles”.

  Since this is purely a news article, it’s of little value a year later, when a more up-to-date article about verification would have more current information.

  If it was about how some part of the tech stack worked (“article”) and things hadn’t changed that much, an older article would probably fare better.

• Ah, thank you. The problem has been bedevilling me for weeks and I think this is the solution.

  I initially thought it could be because the Minotaur isn’t exactly half-man/half-animal as the centaur is, but a hybrid of the two; often represented with hoofs for feet, etc., which is another expression of what you’re saying.

• Pretty clearly they were looking to corner the market, then. Disgusting. I would hope they went out of business, but that would leave Playstation as the de facto monopoly, and they are already killing themselves to enshittify as it is.

• I guess calling them reverse centaurs visualizes the change that is happening in the relationship between human and machine. We used to be the head but we’re the butt now. It makes you reconstruct the image in your head.

  Yes, but the minotaur is frequently just a person with the head of a bull, instead having to invert a centaur, which is already not a familiar image. In talks, Doctorow defaults to “Bojack Horseman”, an acknowledgment that reverse centaur is perhaps too much imaginative labor for his audience.

  Agree on the MBAs–capitalism eating itself.

• Sure. You can talk about the LLM gestalt, if you’d like, that’s worth examining, as with any other tool; especially stuff like progressive brain rot.

  But listening to the complaints people have about LLMs, it’s mostly that it’s being improperly used to replace human labor. Improperly in the sense that it can’t actually do the job it is replacing humans in, which is a separate discussion of what kind of world it will be when there are no jobs for humans to do.

  LLMs are used responsibly by people doing their own work. For instance, Linus Torvalds used Claude to find errors in the Linux kernel (I think), that he then fixed himself.

  The problem is that capitalism, especially oligoplic capitalism, will create worse products at lower prices (or higher profits), and it will do so on the shortest timeline, ignoring things like future lawsuits over security flaws and future lack of programming talent and erosion of consumer trust.

• People are clever; we invent things.

  LLMs are just a tool. Tools can be used by people; the problem is when people are used by tools, which is what is happening in this case.

  See Corey Doctorow’s latest tour of YouTube promoting his idea of reverse centaurs (which, for the life of me, I can´t figure out why he didn´t call minotaurs).

• They fucked themselves when they went on their buying spree of studios. Their idea was literally that they would own every game studio, making a GamePass a necessity that they could charge whatever they wanted for.

  Their quest inflated the price of every subsequent studio they acquired, leading them to take on so much debt that they had to shutter the studios they’d just purchased, and now they have to make a ton of money on every game–but that’s not how games work.

  Just capitalism things…

• Reminder here that the culprit is capitalism, not LLMs.

  Voxium said he wouldn’t mind the situation if workers were given more time to check the code.

  “Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude,” he added. “There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore.”

  Some people might look at this and wonder what the problem is – who wouldn’t want to be paid to do very little? But most people struggle when their work has no meaning. Voxium told Business Insider that if engineers lose the opportunity to understand the code and solve difficult problems, “there is nothing left … Not even our soul. There will be no purpose.”

  He added that the real problem is corporate leaders’ obsession with pushing out more features. He said management often judges success by sprint cycles, pull requests, and the sheer number of features shipped, even when those additions do little to improve the product for users.

• With stalking and harrassment there is at least a theoretical legal structure you can appeal to.

  I am kind of curious about the vigilante angle on enforcing women’s privacy, because it’s fascinating to me how law is an artificial construct and society operates under its own informal rules. It would also imply that group shaming of Meta creeps is a social responsibility.

• Right. Everyone has been selling AI-enabled phones and computers for a few years now… Now that AI companies are actually charging real money for tokens, people are automatically routing their questions to their local AI for the cost of electricity, and saving their queries to OpenAI, etc., for the harder questions.

  The valuations are absolutely bonkers. OpenAI is just cloud computing which every single major customer they have asking themselves every quarter if they should just go in-house.

• I see the US sending war criminal to the Hague the same way Colombians saw sending Escobar to the US, an admission they were incapable of delivering justice themselves.

• More confirmation that the AI Death Threats is designed to do two things:

  1. Encourage regulations that, in effect, hand control of future development to big players.
  2. Slows development just as development is becoming more expensive and returning fewer performance gains at prices nobody wants to pay (the S curve reminding us that, yes, it exists).

  Either of those situations would slow the sales of chips, so of course Jensen is going to argue against it.

• For example, there is an administration group where administrative teams can resolve management issues, especially in Argentina, where laws and the exchange rate change constantly. We are always working through the many twists and turns required to collect the money that is legitimately owed to us.

  Questions I have are: what work do you actually do? And does it have any value if nobody is paying you?
