also, yea, open protocol for everyone β€” it is that. his argument could again refer to the same founder effects acting as a *social* deterrent to adoption. but he's not treating it like a social issue, other than the bog standard "it's the wokes" thing

"the largest issue right now is the algorithmic filter bubble" is a genuinely bizarre statement. I think you can def (and i would) argue that founder (population) effects induced a caustic drag on this place. but...that's...not a filter bubble. and it's not like he doesn't know the difference.

it’s funny how many anti-llm people also struggle with continual learning. like they both lack that critical capability. familiarity breeds contempt i guess

The most obvious bad strategy implemented under this mistaken frame is smearing attention across 1000 projects that don't add up to anything heading in the same direction. Brownian quantity over focused quality. Compounding towards zero. I think it's almost an extension of 2025 Cluely "solve for distribution at all costs and don't worry about solving for anything else" bullshit. A lot of people got caught up in that fad; the same people are getting caught up in this one. Just because you can troll the internet into looking at your startup, doesn't mean you should. Just because you can produce 1000 semi-baked apps while telling yourself, "even if just 1 hits, I'm golden," doesn't mean you should.

yea, def why i scoped out llms. i think you can actually create meaning with other generative modalities, but its much thornier. (check back in a month for an attempt of this though!)

reacting only in opposition to hype boys as an intellectual heuristics is brain wormed and if you did that uh oh!

last november was merely the latest in a long line of leaps. this leap endowed people who couldn’t program with new powers. but it wasn’t 0-1. there has been a steady accumulation of β€œholy shit” for years now

the most frustrating thing about anti ai takes on here (in llm case at least) for the last few years was how people who generally pride themselves on intellectual curiosity completely turned off their brains and committed to a reflexive social anti- posture
