It’s an extreme version of the sunk cost fallacy. His believers are the type of people who think that changing your mind is a sign of weakness. For America to pass this period, a lot of these people will expect a Pact of Forgetting type situation so they don’t have to answer for what they were encouraging.

Not sure how long they’ll work, but here’s the direct link to the audio from the article.

To be fair, he’s annoyed at them having missiles, he had no problem selling them as long as he could profit.

I find it really frustrating that supporters of Open Protocols appear to live in cognitive dissonance of both wanting to be “used by everyone” and “to be a small gated community”.

You can’t keep money out forever and with that does come influence which I know. But eventually wouldn’t you like to talk to your mother on a protocol you trust, with a client she understands?

I know there’s people who could articulate it better than I can, but my logic goes like this:

• Loss of critical thinking skill: This doesn’t just apply for someone working on a software project that they don’t really care about. Lots of coders start in their bedroom with notepad and some curiosity. If copilot interrupts you with mediocre but working code, you never get the chance to learn ways of solving a problem for yourself.
• Style: code spat out by AI is a very specific style, and no amount of prompt modifiers with come up with the type of code someone designing for speed or low memory usage would produce that’s nearly impossible to read but solves for a very specific case.
• If everyone is a coder, no one is a coder: If everyone can claim to be a coder on paper, it will be harder to find good coders. Sure, you can make every applicant do FizzBuzz or a basic sort, but that does not give a good opportunity to show you can actually solve a problem. It will discourage people from becoming coders in the first place. A lot of companies can actually get by with vibe coders (at least for a while) and that dries up the market of the sort of junior positions that people need to get better and promoted to better positions.
• When the code breaks, it takes a lot longer to understand and rectify when you don’t know how any of it works. When you don’t even bother designing or completing a test plan because Cursor developed a plan, which all came back green, pushed it during a convenient downtime and has archived all the old versions in its own internal logical structure that can’t be easily undone.

Mum wanted to make it everyone else’s problem that she can’t have a frank discussion about sex with her own son so probably been making poor judgements all the way through

It’s surprising how few supporters you get when they aren’t allowed to criticise you in any way

A cursory search for “How does Trump owe this man (who got a Wikipedia page today) money\favours” shows that the law firm he is a partner of international trade at represented Trump at one of his 2020 election fraud cases.

The fall of the Berlin wall can be largely attributed to a boarder guard getting pissed at all his higher ups being at a party celebrating 40 years of the USSR and refusing to return phone calls (amongst hundreds of other improbabilities occurring on the same evening)

Did everybody get this as a maths problem nearly every year in primary school, and again in high school when triangle numbers were brought up?

Congratulations nzmaa, you won. You’re going to live in my mind 24/7 for the next four years.
