There are about ~3000 billionaires. Or a billionaire every minute.

That is actually harder than what it has to do ATM to get the answer: write an RPC with JSON. It only needs to do two things: decide to use the calculator tool and paste the right tokens into the call.

Eating shit and not getting sick might be considered a skill, but beyond selling a yoga class, what use is it?

I mean churches should be anticapitalist and before the turn of the last century they often were. But then property got expensive and churches would need loans… Now we have prosperity gospel and mega churches. The internet ran the same course but in just a couple decades.

Aside from the systemic reasons why the internet leans heavily right: when you deport people’s neighbors then politics is no longer a sports game and even the nonvoters understand this.

They’ll blow their money on AI.

Is it the unhealthy environment making people sick as evident by the rising mental health crisis? No, it’s gotta be the disability laws. /s

As if they aren’t saving that chats for review and ingestion into their training set.

Fun read. I remember when my coworker got hired by Twitter I was a bit jealous. Now in retrospect, I was the lucky one working at a web branding agency.

When you trade stocks, you’re betting that you’re smarter than the person you’re trading with.

I’ll go further than the author and not just say it isn’t a perfect analogy to AI, it is a terrible analogy.

That’s fair. Personally, I think the game would be more fun without the LLM (what makes it good is the writing not the tech) but this was to scratch an itch that started when a highschool friend messaged me to insist LLMs are just one breakthrough from taking our jobs.

Stayed up last night writing it: https://github.com/zbyte64/agent-elysium

Qwen3 with 5 gigs seems to do the trick but it is slow…

For me it would be enough to make a simple concept game in the style of an old dungeon crawl and put it up on GitHub…

Or the game could be about a newly laid off worker that has to trick unconscious LLM bots to give them the things they need to survive.

In a world that chases status, be prestigious

I’ll keep that in mind…

Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.

Also introduced voucher schools because he didn’t want teachers telling him laptops won’t solve education

First, Microsoft isn’t using this yet but even if they were it doesn’t work in this context. What Google did was they wrote a fitness function to tune the Generative process. Why not have some rubric that scores the code as our fitness function? Because the function needs to be continuous for this to work well, no sudden cliffs. But also they didn’t address how this would work in a multi-objective space, this technique doesn’t let the LLM make reasonable trade offs between complexity and speed.

The point is to get open source maintainers to further train their program because they already scraped all our code. I wonder if this will become a larger trend among corporate owned open source projects.
