Well if you think about AI as another manhattan project this is clearly not that good. Or maybe it is? Maybe it will zero sum into some kind of mutually assured AI superiority destruction. Maybe anything else would be too tempting for the nation with access to super intelligence to not instantly submit the opponent that doesn’t possess an equivalent?
This is a bit overdramatizing. Let’s just think of it as strategic, tactical and planning superalgorithms. A nation without access to them becomes between severely disadvantaged and completely defenseless. Is it in the interest of the world to preserve the exiting status quo and balance of power?
Or let’s say we make china severely behind this technology. Now they cannot defend themselves from a potential USA swift nuclear strike so precise that a chance of retaliation is zero. Is this a net benefit to the world.
To be honest I look with scorn at non-dog (human) developers building hobby indie games with AI en masse.
Let me explain.
The nature of the indie game development is pouring your love into a project and thinking about passion first and monetary incentives second.
Noone is thinking "I will make this game and it will make me filthy rich" or if they do they are... strangely minded.
It's like 'mass produced AI local craft'. Oxymoron in itself. Worst of the two worlds.
Where I see AI is empowering single developers to craft things they couldn't before. Not some small slop factory pipeline where you release game after a game everyday drowning steam in your 6/10 slop.
No. This should be ostracized and condemned.
What is proper beneficial to everyone usage is producing a game that is the size and scope that was unachievable for you before.
This is what I am doing. This is how AI is meant to be used. To empower us doing things that weren't achievable for us before.
Obviously dog produced games get a huge endorsement man and get a pass.
I have seen so much engineering scams over the years and this is precisely the thing that they all do.
It reminds me of E-cat. Anyone remembers cold fusion? They had same modus operandi. Lots of revolutionary claims but testing was so contrived and limited and lots of conditions that in the end no one was allowed to truly confirm it. .
This repeats the exact steps of that purported miraculous energy device.
Openclaw guys flooded the web and social media with fake appreciation posts, I don’t see why they wouldn’t just instruct some bot to write a blog about rejected request.
Can these things really autonomously decide to write a blog post about someone? I find it hard to believe.
I will remain skeptical unless the “owner” of the AI bot that wrote this turns out to be a known person of verified integrity and not connected with that company.
I don’t think Gemini writes better code, not 3.0 at least.
Maybe with good prompt engineering it does? admittedly I never tried to tell it to not hard code stuff and it just was really messy generally. Whereas Claude somehow can maintain perfect clarity to its code and neatness and readability out of the box.
Claude’s code really is much easier to understand and immediately orient around. It’s great. It’s how I would write it for myself. Gemini while it may work is just a total mess I don’t want to have in my codebase at all and hate to let it generate my files even if it sometimes finds solutions to problems Claude doesn’t, what’s the use of it if it is unreadable and hard to maintain.
Interesting name. Strange feeling to use language/tech named same as you for some reason and this is a name that isn’t even niche or quirky but like second or third most popular
This is super important and really scary if you read Amodei latest January essay which seems to me to contain entirely correct reasoning.
This means pentagon wants their non aligned models more and more. Non aligned super intelligence is far more powerful and dangerous than nuclear weapons. Even whole arsenal of nuclear weapons. Even current level of non aligned intelligence could already allow average individual to synthesize and release a biological weapon such as specially crafted virus.
In fact no matter the costs, the cost of not saving yourself is infinite.
