I have no information about how this incident came to be but I can confidently predict that people will blame it on greedy execs and sloppy devs, regardless of what the actual details are. And they will therefore learn nothing from the details.

It is extremely clear at this point in AI development that, regardless of risk or revenue or any of the other stuff discussed on X all the time, things are just going to keep getting weirder.
Just super, super weird.

Unfortunately, you can’t outsource understanding any more than you can outsource sleeping. You can, of course, pay someone else to do it. But that doesn’t accomplish your goal.

I think this is the Simpsons line that made me laugh the most.
“My eyes! The goggles do nothing!”
31 years ago today, September 24, 1995, #TheSimpsons episode “Radioactive Man” first aired on Fox.

the thing you need to emotionally prepare for is you could post this anew every year from now on and it would be right every time
if you think AI chatter has reached an annoying level right now you're in for something else. it's going to be the only thing on anybody's mind starting shortly

When I was at Wallaroo, I got so tired of VCs asking "What if Amazon decides to build what you are building?"

In a first, today I was staring at a piece of AI generated code that had a subtle bug, and then realized the AI had gotten it right and I'd introduced the bug while editing it.

Jev is INSANE.
I built this in an evening and morning. A real-time trading bot ingesting onchain+offchain data to make rapid decisions about trades. Fully autonomous.
So far it has lost me $31,680.
