Butters

I think the charm is in the endgame content but idk about current times. Wish I could play wow on the airplane, it's the only legit way I can think of to kill 12 hours on a flight to Bangkok.

I agree that LLMs are not, by any means, intelligent. They simulate intelligence very well. If you link up a billion calculators, have you created an intelligent consciousness? I say no. My real problem in using them daily for work is that I cannot help but anthropomorphize the technology, that's just how they're built. I work alone all day and before you know it I'm treating Claude like a mentor or business partner. And it's frustrating as fuck to work with these things. You need to step back, use your own mind first, then go back to using it properly, and then get suckered back into the same pattern. Claude is a nightmare if you don't prompt properly and just expect it to be "intelligent" and come with solutions. There is no real intelligence there. All the intelligence comes from me. You can't say "Hey Claude, create a successful business for me". You can start there, work hard for months and months, and then realize you really did it on your own. It's just a modern technology. It's impressive! But there's upsides and downsides to it.

None of that is good advertising, yet it still wanna do the program. Why do I have a desire for Truth when it's so horrible aka death? I came preprogrammed with some desire for it, cause deep down I know what I am, and some part of me is looking to reconnect?

He will get it right on the second prompt though. Paints a whole fence in 2 prompts is still impressive to me 😝 And why does it say IA? Lol

Yes this sums up my day-to-day.

Wait, what? Aren't the sub agents that it spawns already those? I thought the sub agents is the reason it eats so many tokens. I've just been asking fable to write plans into .MD files and sending those to Opus 4.8 /w ultracode myself.

It works fine for me, but that's an app that helps me run my business. Creating that for users would require an actual programmer.

Yes, but it works a little different now than back in the day. You just download the game and can level through any past expansion up to level 70 on the regular subscription. Only after that would you buy the latest expansion, or just level another character.

Even though I was hating on WoW here I actually started playing again today 😁 I've read about the changes and I really like the idea of Chromie time. I'll just be questing and doing some battlegrounds and see how it goes. Haven't played since Cata btw, starting as a Monk now, just to respect the chronological order. Back in the day I only really cared about PvP.

At some point the entire forum will have their Usual Suspects moment, and realize that Leo was YOU all along. *drops coffee* Does anybody actually remember that movie? Seriously, how STRANGE would that be, to realize it was all YOU all this time? Like, that's the definition of strange. And it's also extremely homosexual. Leo said at some point that movies based on truth don't sell but I don't think so. I mean isn't love truth? Many movies about love.

Cuz you're playing all these games. Just make it very clear from the beginning: you are here to FUCK.

It's my favorite channel before sleep. Gives me perfect tingles in my forehead, behind my eyes and makes me very calm and happy.

Of course not. You gotta tap from inside because it's all you

But the actual serous usage of the OpenAI and Claude technology is through their coding agents, not the chatbots. There are workflows and agents eating up thousands of times the tokens of someone just chatting. That's where the actual heavy usage is at.

I doubt it.

How can you debate the usefulness of AI when it literally changed warfare? Fully autonomous drones in the Ukraine and Iran wars is now the standard. So"it's just a dumb autocorrect chatbot" clearly doesn't hold.

But more compute will only lead to tiny improvements at this point, it's called the diminishing returns of AI scaling laws. At the current frontier, moving the needle just a fraction requires doubling or even 10x-ing the total compute budget. What actually makes sense is creating better harasses, which is why Claude Code and others have become significant in the last 12 months.

@something_else very cool, so what is your company's monthly API cost? 😁 So you guys ship live features to live customers, but do you have more work correcting the vibe coded stuff or not? Has your work now shifted to other areas? I use Claude code a lot these days. For my one-man web design business I have a set of SOPs for it to follow and Claude basically one-shots WordPress websites at this point. The work for me is just everything outside of the SOP stuff. But I'm doing things now I would have never been able to do without hiring remote staff. Then a customer might send me a whole list of revisions, photos to change, God knows what, I don't even read it just give it straight back to Claude and it builds exactly what the customer asked. Same for the sales process, although that requires a bit more human intervention.

Thanks man. Actually, the whole reason I'm able to contact clients so quickly and at scale is because of AI. I also use it to build WordPress websites which really helps.

I think attractive women can flip some switch, like they can hide their attractiveness and turn it on in certain moments which is why sometimes you see almost none and other times many. And also they usually don't behave sexually close to the house because of stalkers.

For what purpose? I heard they're good for recovery and muscle growth.

I haven't studied it. I don't have access to the book where I am right now (traveling). My main source has been this guided meditation At first I found the effects quite strong. I would stop early for that reason. But now when I do it in bed it's not that strong anymore. What are the desired effects of doing this? Should it feel mild or strong? Do you do it at set times or throughout the day?

Can't argue with it. I mean doesn't this perfectly describe our time now? Remember: Trump, Netanjahoo, Putin, Erdogan, all democratically elected.

You should just look up the history of Singapore yourself. The guy took it from nothing to one of the most thriving economies in the region in just a few decades.

Chapter 3: Faro, Portugal Somebody at the hostel told me there's a lot of Dutch people in the south of Portugal, and he mentioned Faro, so I bought a bus ticket and went. On a whim, just like I ended up in all other places so far. Bus took about 3.5 hours and the landscape was relatively boring, just hills and pine forest. The lady sitting next to me was really nice. She offered me an old biscuit and I accepted it to be polite. It tasted like cardboard. I offered her a croissant in return but she didn't want it. Arriving in Faro felt weird. I was used to the city, and now I was in this beach town in early March, well outside the season. The upside was there were plenty of private rooms available for ridiculously low prices. I would stay at proper hotel rooms for €20 /night. And by proper hotel room I meant noisy with a shared bathroom, but still a massive improvement over hostels for less money. Library was decent, much better than the Lisbon or Porto ones that were overcrowded. Actually was feeling a bit sick in the beginning so couldn't even work that much.
