Malicious actors currently don't seem to behave much more careful than biters in Factorio, so this should align pretty well. To be fair, biter are usually not inside your base / in office.


Either way, flamethrowers turn out to be remarkably effective.

I wouldn't call diagnosing people for actual medical issues we learned about since the 70s an en vogue thing. Other than those, it's pretty much just vegan / non-vegan.


It’s amazing how dietary restrictions and medical issues track with political affiliation. Who knew?


What does political affiliation have to do with this specifically? Also, I'm sure there's ample source material to cement this claim?


Levelling the playing field either backfires spectacularly or increases overall safety dramatically.


Similar, yes, but instead of finding out who else can give you money at 10 people, they have to find out who else they have to give money at 10k people. Leads and lobbies.


That certainly doesn't help but I'd imagine their traffic in general spiked massively with agentic interactions as well?


And you can get all that for the low price of just $199/mon on your new glasses subscription!


Download and inspect it.


I don't know (I don't browse Patreon but just back some creators individually) but what would be the issue about that? Patreon is a content distributor and payment router between fans and creators, I don't expect or want them to police what creators do with that service.


> I don't expect or want them to police what creators do with that service.

Well, they do actually. They have a lot of restrictions on what 18+ content you can publish.

Like you can't publish "real" porn, or that's how I interpret this at least:

> Works depicting sexual activity between real, adult participants are not permitted.

https://www.patreon.com/policy/guidelines#adult-works


Which is fair. If they state that clearly in their ToS, someone producing this kind of content knows, that this is not the right provider for them ahead of time.

Someone producing adult content within the boundaries of what the guidelines allow did pick the right provider, so I don't see a problem with them becoming a prominent creator on the platform.

I should have probably said I don't expect or want them to micromanage the prominence of creators on their platform that do act in accordance with their guidelines. If for some reason figurines became incredibly popular and someone would complain that Patreon is basically just a platform for figurine painters, so what?


Uh, is narrowing it to "adult" really necessary?


They might not have a choice is the problem, there has been a pretty successful campaign to get credit card companies to cut off payments to anyone even remotely connected to this kind of stuff.


The issue is not duct tape, the issue is having someone you can rely on to know what to tape.


People in the know are not suggesting engineers are no longer needed, but that they need to adapt.


Please explain this "adapting". The LLM sellers' holygrail is * you just need to crank our model bro *. With this mindset, there is no adaptation needed, save a couple of weeks of getting up to speed with nuances of using the models, the / commands and integration of their APIs into your workflow.


You gotta ignore what the LLM sellers are saying and listen to the people who don't have a financial incentive to sell a particular message.


It's not just corpo talk. The ultimate goal in LLM and AI progress is "replacement" of professional knowledge workers. In the march of the 9s of the accuracy of the generated LLM output, the engineers role would matter less and less.

It's asking engineers to "adapt" to being efficient in filling out the last 10% then 1% then 0.1% then 0.01%.


Yeah i also want to know what the adaption is. Because so far all I'm seeing is removal of the natural incentive to build deeper understanding of the systems. So in the future only the people who are really curious and want to know for knowledge sake are going to know enough to deal with the blind spots of the automatons.

Knowing how the things the LLM's are touching appears to be the only skill of value. Because using these things are trivial for anyone who is familiar with computers, what adaptation and catching up is there beyond waiting and observing what works and then just applying that?

"But the LLM's will know everything" well then we aren't needed at all, just put it on a loop and leave it running. At this endpoint there's nothing to adapt to, only direct means of allocating necessary resources to yourself for subsistence.


Why not? I'm pretty sure they know roundabout what it would cost to tear it down, so why not see if someone is willing to buy it because they think they can get the work done cheaper and make a profit off the raw material.


The opposite -- it said elsewhere they will accept a low offer if it means the historic bridge is preserved.


I'm not against it. It's just that it's the first time seeing a bridge being sold in my life.


There's an idiom in US english, "and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you", meant to imply that someone is gullible. It's usually what's being referred to when someone is talking about selling a bridge, and is a source of humour when someone actually sells a bridge.

It's in reference to the criminal exploits of confidence man George C Parker.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_C._Parker
