Tucker - Every Tech Billionaire Is Having the Same Haunting Vision. Demonologist Explains Why

Just got back from the Ted Chiang talk at the law school, talk was good but all the Q&A was lawyers ask-telling about LLMs. Not a single question for him about his fiction. :(

They put 'environmental impact of AI' on the front of the student newspaper (below the fold, but still), then you flip and see this

ruby’s had this problem for ~2 decades now. like, the “rockstar dev” archetype literally became big directly because of ruby’s popularity and perception at the time

I had to look it up, the ~~~Rails Conf~~~ Golden Gate Ruby Conf code like a porn star thing was 2009, I didn't hallucinate it. DHH has deleted those tweets.
