This? Still? After everything?

Buddy, you're living in the future. In a science fiction novel. Please get used to it.

If there is one thing I have realized after reading quite a few science fiction books, it is that I don't want to live in any one them - not one.

Unfortunately, there are enough people in the world who think that is the future everyone should live in and are actively working to bring it about.

And so, one must adapt. .

The novel title: "Don’t Build The Torment Nexus".

It's good to think about where you're going, but you also have to keep track of where you are.

(Also, getting people to think about the future rather than the present is a classic con. Looking at an empty field: "can't you just see the potential here?")

Wonder about this aspect:

Do you post this comment on every single blogpost with a corporate domain? Why or why not?

As the waves of autonomous drones came over the horizon, the brave and intelligent HN commenter shouted: "Wake up sheeple! It's just maaaaarketing!"

As the agi nurse fails to wipe his ass the intelligent HN commenter shouted: "You're moving the goalposts. You never said it needs to wipe my ass SUCCESFULLY"

In the space-based datacenter? LOL

Your coding agent is also a very real-world version of the paperclip optimization thought experiment, yes. Have you never seen it reward hacking? Editing tests to pass instead of fixing the code?

It knows what you want, it can even tell you, and it absolutely doesn't give a shit.

Who're they subcontracting for the Von Neumann probes?

> I think Congresspeople hearing that EU AI Act is forcing secret codes into the infrastructure of American technology across all industries is sufficient.

So, you think it's good to disconnect words from their actual meanings (lie) to low-information people! I doubt this will do much to congress, but it certainly teaches us something about the sort of mind who would suggest it.
