How can I change an organisation with hundreds of frustrated employees, when I can’t change my own life with only one person. Does a different person run a company and a different person live their life? I doubt it.

replied to:

I think so, actually. My wife runs my household, I run my engineering org. As I get older I do see the two aspects of my personality start to merge but they are still divergent and were much moreso in my earlier years.

and to be clear, I don't mean that I offload all the work to her by any stretch. It's just that I'm much more outspoken and opinionated on the specifics of work life versus home life.

Returned after a ride on bikes around the lake with the boy. Did stop for workout, 🏋️‍♂️ did pull-ups, push-ups and squats. Love the place we live in.

Today visiting Zaragoza with an aunt and my mom, I hope to be this willing and capable of moving around for leisure when I'm in my 60s too

replied to:

That will come with continued moving and activity throughout your life.

replied to:

Being in your 60s is not that old. As long as keep up with movement over the years you should be fine.

'wade in the water.' isn't this the challenge of being 'ahead'? so many of us are waist deep in the same sea, it's hard to see what's in front of us vs. what's behind us. then we see the yacht boys sail by with their new masters, splashing us in their wake. then we grumble amongs

then we grumble amongst ourselves about 'that was my idea,' then carry on.

The frequent comments you read about protesters in France or Portugal versus the situation here in America are valid. At the same time, here in America, the police would absolutely roll in with machine guns. That's kind of a counterweight.

The abuse (in my opinion) of the auto-translate feature is super annoying. Thanks goodness for “block”.

my initial google on this topic wasn't very fruitful... are there any harnesses that let switch between Claude and Codex when you have the 20/month plans 'seamlessly'. rough edges are fine but I'd like to maintain memories between harnesses.

Anthropic is announcing the end of the world every few days. All this marketing disguised as news about an impeding danger of AI is tiresome.

……

replied to:

not marketing. yes their jobs positively select for concern about ai, but most people that are actively researching the field are concerned about the current state of safety, pace and incentives. I dont agree with a lot anthropic does, but i do believe the employees take safety seriously and they obviously have a better understanding of it than us. also theres no incentive for someone like coxon to sound alarm bells on twitter for "marketing" reasons, after quitting anthropic

replied to:

Yes, but some people say that they are pushing for market regulation. They want the state to protect them from the chinese models and, also, to protect the massive investments in Anthropic, OpenaAI, et al. that these companies will never be able to return. This sounds plausible to me too.

replied to:

Maybe but it would be convenient for them if they were the only ones allowed to train new models. I think that's much more likely what they're interested in.

read darios latest post. its not what they are after. its really not that complicated, the technology is simply if development continues to race as it is right now. they are already doing most of what they can to stop china from ai dev.
