lol it is 60 years old

this is way too overblown and deterministic a view. US history was one of many inspirations.

using React Native you end up having to drop into native code to do anything interesting or optimized, so it feels kind of pointless to not just use the platforms directly

Most apps don’t do anything interesting.

by what mechanism do you believe LLMs verify truth? they are amoral token generators

LLMs have no sense of truth, they are just next token generators

good catch!

for the same reason I don't think a pinball machine or ATM is conscious

lol they are Microsoft, and the AI stuff has only multiplied usage like 2x, they haven't had sudden exponential growth

14x is barely an order of magnitude

seriously. if you are ready to scale, you are ready for that much. if that kills you, you had architecture issues that a company as big and established as GH shouldn't have.

no, stop giving the AI companies free marketing
