Why even keep using zombie Twitter? I used to scroll Twitter a lot but deleted my account back when. Literally any other social network seems more appealing these days, and not by a small margin.
I just had to go check out your site with that comment. Nicely done! Was waiting for the physics simulation to either fully settle or explode, but really neither of those happened.
I've done this. Ask Claude to permutate a prompt and run Claude Code or a subagent to observe effects until success. Claude will iterate on the prompt faster than I could and likely catch more edge cases, too. It's one of those tasks where the end goal is very clear and the agent just needs to iterate on permutations. Arguably this is a perfect match, too, because prompt engineering is really just text generation, so why not have a text generation machine do it.
Similar thoughts here. My gut tells me "if I wanted AI responses I would just ask AI", but in truth LLMs are not like Google Search. LLMs are more like a slot machine where you put your prompt in and out comes a combination of insights that are personalized to the inputs.
"I don't know" isn't in the training data. Nobody writes engineering books, science papers and blog posts that end with "well, I don't really know, the end".
There is a point where this kind of a pragmatic/contrarian take doesn't stick anymore. Is the net benefit of AI worth the cost of losing natural resources for billions? That's the question you're supposed to ponder, like, it's actually up in the air and not clear cut?
It's worth flipping the question around to explore how you actually think.
So rather than ask "What is the impact of AI?" which narrows your focus to the impact of AI, if you really care about the natural resources you should be asking "What has a big impact on natural resources?"
If that's AI, and you're ignoring all the things that have a far greater impact on what you claim to care about, then you should ask if you're really just looking for things to complain about around AI, and natural resources are a convenient excuse.
If you care about water resources and you're not a vegan campaigning against the beef industry, but you're focusing on AI, then you have a degree of cognitive dissonance.
Except that those are very old, very entrenched industries. We are still in the phase where we have a chance of setting some rules for "AI" before it becomes fully entrenched.
