To me, spying and spying on the public en masse are very different things

I think we should all care about what misinformation is spread to what people

Put me in my place if this is nonsense but doesn't it make way more sense if the astroturfing is done by WSB goons? I just don't see corporate entities coordinating this kind of thing

What kind of ways, can you explain?

Is there any evidence that Palantir the company aggregates data across contractual boundaries? Everything I've seen indicates the reverse: it's a glorified hosted data storage solution with workflows built on top

Source? I've never heard about pal being used for disinformation

Ex pal people are on slack, not discord. This is probably an investor server

If I'm reading this right, you would basically say that any company that helps government institutions spy on people is awful, is that right?

What shady stuff are you talking about may I ask?

I gave you the up vote because it's a good take, but this really has nothing to do with the article, so I can tell that you and a bunch of your 58 up voters didn't read it

This guy (a founding engineer of fly.io) isn't claiming his 10x status in the article on the grounds that he uses AI

Indeed, he's claiming that he gets value from AI despite being a 10xer without it

Revenue is a standard unit of measurement for any venture backed business because it gauges interest and growth better than profit does

1. I'm not really interested in trying to burn anyone and despite my nuanced understanding of the Luddites, I do think dismissing a Luddite take in the context of technological progress is legitimate
2. I care about ethics and governance too but I live in a capitalist society and I'm here to discuss the merits of a technology

This is a pretty good take imo

Like AI, IoT is an important and lasting technology

But too many businesses and products jumped on a misguided bandwagon to pull stupid uniformed VC money

You should look into how Dieselgate worked

I don't think you understand my take

I guess that makes it a bad analogy

Replace AI with Excel in your argument and repeat it again. Do you see how silly you sound?

If this dev doesn't do it, the next one will

This dev is analytical enough to understand basic incentive modeling and game theory. Capitalism is a race to the bottom no less now than it always was.

This is a brilliant take. Whoever designed my car's screen system can kick rocks

I think this take undervalues the AI. I think we self select for high quality code and high quality engineers

But many of us would absolutely gawk at something like Dieselgate. That is real code running in production on safety critical machinery.

I'm basically convinced that Claude would have done better

Agreed. It creates a new normal for what the engineer needs to actually know. In another comment I claimed that the same was true at the advent of stack overflow
