the guy saying that AI destroying software engineering means it will shortly destroy all knowledge work is overextrapolating from his own career and not acknowledging the specific features of coding that made it amenable to this
he's also not really wrong about his own career though
who is "you" here?

I know no one cares, but isn't breaching capital controls illegal?

He lives in an information environment where if you go to tower hamlets you will not meet a single person who is British, and where even small rural villages are being overwhelmed by asylum seekers in local hotels, with councils giving them free houses
I think if you spell out the implications of his belief - that one in five people in the UK have arrived in the last five years - he would have said “yes, that sounds right.”
Something that feels important about the Ratcliffe comments is they aren’t simply innumeracy. Everyone has problems with this sort of thing at times, because we have no intuitive feel for the difference between very large numbers. But this seems distinct
I mean, no-one has to sell books to me and if the profit doesn’t equal the faff then I can see why you wouldn’t
Yeah I’m slightly hmmmmm about an excuse that lines up with pre-existing practices and doesn’t really make that much sense. Would be curious if the books are printed in the US for one
Trying
Overseas tycoons such as Elon Musk would be barred from giving substantial donations to UK political parties under new legislation to block companies making gifts if they do not have British owners or make sufficient revenue in the country

Is it tariff bullshit? The US doesn’t charge on exports and we’ve not done retaliatory stuff
I'm not a lawyer but it really seems to me like the Supreme Court just decided that the obvious meaning and intention of statute law doesn't count. Wouldn't be the first time!
Somewhat baffling Supreme Court ruling today, which seems to hold that statute banning computer programs from being patented doesn't apply if the computer programs require hardware to run. Which is… all computer programs? supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc...
Anthropic: “behold! I have created the philosophical zombie from the seminal question of consciousness ‘how can you tell a philosophical zombie isn’t conscious’”
"what if AI never fixes the hallucination issue and gets put into production use anyway despite the fact that it occasionally misfires" oh yeah that would be bad
"What if AI fixes the hallucination issue and is seen as more reliable than humans in areas where precision and accuracy are valued" 😬😬😬
think i've hit a turning point recently and the worlds where AI gets better and fixes its problems are now more concerning to me than the worlds where it doesn't
i quite like the way you're all reinventing the icon of early 00s messageboards, the two-axis political compass
