“Uncle Sam, these new AI are dangerous. We really need legislation to stop irresponsible use of AI.”

“OK, Dario. Let’s start with you.”

“No! I meant regulations for other people!”


This is not legislation.

Uncle "Sam" is ironic here, alternative man one might say

I would be more worried about the viability of these business cases. If I see someone crowing about how they vibe coded some service in a weekend and now they expect $X,000,000 in ARR, I just think these type of people are not going to make it. At some point, the customer will realize that there is nothing preventing them from replacing your offering with a few dollars in API fees. Software vendors need to focus on support quality, provide some unique insight, guard proprietary data, or have some economy of scale on the hardware side. Being the first person to write that particular prompt is not a business plan.

The marketing speak here is a bit much. Seems to be more preoccupied with the libraries than the problem solved

He has to pull up the ladder before people realize doubling cost for a 5% gain is bonkers. The cat is out of the bag. They can try to sabotage, but we’ve already come to far

I find that completely unbelievable. There’s too much high-quality free information for me to ever consume to even think about paying for it, let alone something of mediocre quality. Are we sure the newsletter subscribership isn’t just a total fabrication? Or that it isn’t just a money laundering scheme?

Hypothetically speaking, how does one go about being so handsomely rewarded for being wrong about everything? I feel like I am well qualified for this type of job.

There are three things to make money:

- tell lies to ones who want to hear lies -> riches

- tell truth to ones who want to hear truth -> modesty

- tell truth to ones who want to hear lies -> bankruptcy

p.s. read it on a blog name I dont remember :(


Ask Alex Jones before he got sued for being wrong, or just any politician in general.

Not in the divine secrets, never heard of that person before, but my wild guess would be have the relevant people in your acquaintances?

You never know if people who are running a skeptic grift are at the same time long the very trends they're criticizing.

I agree with the general thesis that AI is a bubble and there's a lot of over/mal-investment, but that hasn't stopped me from riding the wave and making a considerable amount of money investing in AI-related stocks.

If I was more ambitious, I'd write a $70/year newsletter ranting about how AI is a massive bubble that could collapse at any moment to make money on both sides.


And the criminals found that Microsoft has yet to produce and AI worth stealing. A deeply ironic twist.

That makes for a funny tongue in cheek comment, but it's not MS's AI they're after, it's end user secrets, and the exploits target multiple LLMs. (by adding commands to relevant MD files)

Here’s my hot take as an elder millennial. Boomers are the absolute worst at being unable to make the distinction between time at work and time doing work. They may show up an hour before everyone else but spend the first two or three hours a day, reading the news and getting coffee and making small talk and accomplishing literally nothing. Then crow about their work ethic.

A dude at Oracle did that with a recent mass experiment of mRNA technology. We do not speak Of the results.

Or maybe the AI made up the part about making it up. There’s no way to tell. Don’t use a model to validate itself.
