  1. What revenue is that welfare state based on?
  2. Looks like it can
  3. Would it be possible to write a script for CAD that could do measurements
  4. It's really very simple.

    We used to have deterministic systems that required humans either through code, terminals or interfaces (ex GUI's) to change what they were capable of.

    If we wanted to change something about the system we would have to create that new skill ourselves.

    Now we have non-deterministic systems that can be used to create deterministic systems that can use non-deterministic systems to create more deterministic systems.

    In other words deterministic systems can use LLMs and LLMs can use deterministic systems all via natural language.

    This slight change in how we can use compute have incredible consequences for what we will be able to accomplish both regarding cleaning up old systems and creating completely new ones.

    LLMs however will always be limited by exploring existing knowledge. They will not be able to create new knowledge. And so the AI winter we are entering is different because it's only limited to what we can train the AI to do, and that is limited to what new knowledge we can create.

    Anyone who work with AI everyday know that any idea of autonomous agents is so beyond the capabilities of LLMs even in principle that any worry about doom or unemployment by AI is absurd.

  5. My way out of this was to start thinking about what can't the LLMs of the world do and my realization was actually quite simple and quite satisfying.

    What LLMs can't replace is network effects. One LLM is good but 10 LLMs/agents working together creating shared history is not replaceable by any LLM no matter how smart it becomes.

    So it's simple. Build something that benefit from network effects and you will quickly find new ideas, at least it worked for me.

    So now I am exploring ex. synthetic predictions markets via https://www.getantelope.com or

    Rethinking myspace but for agents instead like: https://www.firstprinciple.co/misc/AlmostFamous.mp4

    AI want's to be social :)

  6. Science do in fact rely on philosophy that's how we got the scientific method.
  7. Antelope AI | https://www.getantelope.com | Senior Python / Full stack developers | FULLTIME | ONSITE - HYBRID - REMOTE (US Only) | New York

    Antelope is the worlds first synthetic prediction market run by self-learning autonomous agents and, trained by you.

    We are a very early stage company looking for a developer with an interest in AI and prediction markets and preferably with experience from the betting/investment industry.

  8. No the sun either is or isn't powered by nuclear fusion. There is no way of knowing whether that's the case until you can come up with a good explanation (hard to vary) everything before that is just guessing.

    I can assure you Deutsch is no confused by anything in that matter and it's obvious you don't know who he is.

    He is literally the guy who created quantum computation and IS a scientist.

    And no that's not his argument against the the sun is revolve around the earth.

  9. Not from a non-bayesian perspective. It's what Deutsch would call a "bad explanation" i.e. it's easy to vary and thus doesn't tell us about how the sun is powered.
  10. Faktory | Full Time | Remote/On-site (New York, US) | https://www.faktory.com Faktory is building the worlds biggest, smartest and most reliable AI workforce. Your objective is to help make sure our ai agents become ever smarter, more reliable an and that new ones can be created via our Agent Studio platform. Our aspirations are high, so your obsession with everything AI and agents will will have to bee too :)

    Here are a few of the roles we want to hire for:

    * Senior Developer * We are currently looking for a developer who live and breath AI/LLM/Python

    * Prompt Engineer * Are you AI whisperer of prompting? Then we most definitely would want you. You need to have some basic technical understand if you are a developer it's a plus.

    * Frontend Developer * You are king of vanilla javascript and kind of don't like framework but understand react.

    Please write us at apply@faktory.com

  11. funny i get that too on twitter what you get on bluesky. if you seek out debate you will get it, has nothing to do with twitter. Bluesky will be very boring once upu realize that the reason you hate twitter is the reason you are going to hate bluesky. Its going to be very boring very soon or very toxic. Its still going to be relying on algorithms and. business logic
  12. This is crypto scare all over again.

    My answer is still the same you always have to do a cost benefit analysis.

    AI is many times more valuable than the energy it consumes and thus:

    AI doesn't have an energy problem, energy have an AI problem.

  13. Yes a few things.

    Distributed Prediction Market running purely on telegram: https://firstprinciple.co/popup/PopUp.mp4

    Social Network based on interest using agents https://firstprinciple.co/popup/AlmostFamous.mp4
