A timer?

> Then, unprompted, Altman offers up a kind of shocking timeline for the groundbreaking feature of counting: “Maybe another year before something like that works well.” Per Altman, ChatGPT’s voice model doesn’t have the capability of starting a timer or keeping track of time. “But we will add the intelligence into the voice models,” he said.

I swear I have only heard about ECS and people trying to show off how good the ECS is when it comes to Bevy, never about an actual game.

"There are more rust game engines than rust games" - Confucius

I agree completely. However, this mentality is why honest people like you get pushed to the sidelines, and manufactured, perfect imaged, 1000+ referenced in LinkedIn types are more successful in getting VC funding. If this is seriously your goal, you are going to have to play the game. Remember, even when perfectly playing the game in your position you will likely fail. If this is what you want to do, do you want to be taken out of the running for something like a username?

I'm mystified by this argument, that the best way for me to play the game is how others are playing it. Investors don't all make the same bet, nor do they want to, so I'm going to do what only I can do.

Sure some people will rule me out for superficial reasons, but I also get some benefit in screening out people who want to kick the tires but aren't interested in building a real relationship, just like companies do when they screen job candidates.

Your analogy is telling. Would you consider your position closer to a company hiring for a job, or a homeless person asking someone for money?

The gist of the Mythical Man Month is that if you don't give time there are some things in engineering that no amount of money can buy.

I may not have any money at the moment, but what I do have cannot be bought.

Because of the em-dash? Unfortunately, some writing hipsters created this "uh actually we were writing emdashes first, it's dramatic increase of use since llm proliferation in the 2020s shouldn't mean we can't use it!" movement. This has lead to purposeful use of emdashes to bait people to call them lllms. You can tell because the spaces around it most likely is because they had to copy and paste it from somewhere else as they (like most humans on non macs) don't actually know how to write an emdash otherwise.

Wow, that’s some pretty farfetched speculation. I’ve been using double-dash as punctuation since I started writing on a computer in the 1980s. I like that MacOS connects them for me.

Consider for a moment how different your assumptions are from reality. Can you learn from that?

Yea, the link really should be switched to this. Has a much more modern feel, hell as I was reading the OP the reason why I opened the comments was to see if someone commented on how dated the UI was.

I don't have an issue with the style personally. I actually like being able to navigate the whole page without clicking through pages. Looks like the content is the same too? Although that's just a glance comparing random snippets.

It feels more like an automated block due to uncharacteristical increase in download activity. Something that it seems more and more companies are taking seriously is the cottage industry of scams involving less technically savvy downloading apps online and getting their information stolen. The motivation for this is probably the same as Google stopping side loading. Take that as you want.

And how would blocking the devs ability to sign the new version stop the spread of the already downloaded and still available old version?

I think you forgot we're talking about the kernel drivers specifically - normal scammers don't need that, they use AnyConnect downloaded from Chrome.

I think you also forgot to read it all and missed that it was supposedly some deanonymisation (ID verification) process that kicked it off, and missed that the dev has immediately verified themselves but then we're told they need to wait 2 months to wait.

Because.

It's not an automated process at this point.

It always weird to see how dichotomy of some people saying AI will never be profitable and are doomed to fail and others saying that they are such a essential public service that they are a utility and should be subject to government regulation. Hopefully they are not the same group of people, but I suspect there is a greater overlap that one would expect.

I'm not one of those people but want to point out that there isn't much of a contradiction there. I don't know if hospitals, universities, train tracks, roads, and libraries technically speaking count as utilities but they overall don't seem to be profitable and at the same time are extremely desirable for a society and an economy to have. AI could turn out to be of the same sort.

But then how would they get people to buy their $99 AI CEO package?

Huh, and here I thought it was a joke...

Maybe it is, didn't really look into it.

The worst thing is that everyone but them knows how easy it is to take advantage of their blind hate. News companies, podcasts, and bloggers (such as this one) know they can just twist the thumbscrew and say "AI bad!" then rake in thousands of views/subs without even having to give a substantial argument.
