This is a great pdf and well worth the read. I've had a lot of the same questions in my head and glad to see they are concerns others are facing as well.
I make mistakes when writing code, but I know what types of mistakes I make. With AI it's like a coworker who makes mistakes, sometimes they're obvious to me and sometimes they're not, because I make different mistakes.
Yes, I think that’s their plan. Remember when Altman got fired from OpenAI? Msoft was right there with open arms. Msoft is probably letting OpenAI do the dirty work of fleecing investors and then when all their money is gone doing the R/D, MSoft scoops up the IP and continues on.
I live in the least impactful way possible. I guarantee you my impact on the earth is less then 99.99999% of the population, and I live a very happy life. Im just not scared of it ending, becasue I know when humanity is gone then the earth will have a big future of succesful evolution.
Not everything has to be doom and gloom. Your life and the planet is what you make of it.
The US had a version of this as well. At the height of lockdowns and social distancing a lot of health officials were saying protesting racial injustice was more important than Covid 19, which we closed a lot of businesses for.
I've got to admit that I'm unclear on the relationship between the US's attempts to juggle public health priorities with the constitutional right to freedom of assembly and... the UK glory hole thing. But I'm wondering if those George Floyd protests were a lot more fun than I always suspected.
Yeah I'm pretty happy with HTMX. I first cut my teeth on programming in the early 2000s with LAMP stack then Ruby on Rails and Django. It feels pretty great to be able to do a web 2.0 style application but still get most of the functionality of a SPA.
Checkout DataStar, it's also a hypermedia web framework but it subsumes the functionality of htmx, is faster, more efficient and fits inside 11 KiB. It uses SSE + brotli streaming compression to achieve compression ratios up to 4000x. It makes the web client completely stateless. Building a webapp cannoy be simpler really.
that sounds really cool but i've already made a commitment to HTMX, at least for the foreseeable future. My main goal here is building a physical radio station.
if I could retire, raise my kids and homeschool them, and do housework instead I would in a second. Nothing is more interesting, more fulfilling, and more challenging then raising the next generation.
