God would cry too if they saw the world they created. Let the salty tears flow

So far everything is going according to the plan. Humans are really close to make the AI that will replace them and enter into the next phase of the plan.

Or do you have a better idea of what the plan exactly is?


You mean the AI that might fail and suck every last ounce of entropy or life out the planet and sufficate it? Have you seen the insane amount of natural gas being burned to power it? Obviously I'd love if AI solved its own energy crisis but that hasn't even begun to happen yet. You think it will invent cold fusion? Room temp super conductors? Solar cells past our theoretical limits? Do you realize it's literally being controlled by human greed?

It isn't just greed controlling it too, so I'm also optimistic. I'd just also like seeing the light powering it at the beginning of the tunnel.

It's not going to do any of these things, because it's auto-complete.

No, it won't bypass P≠NP either.


What about P vs. NP? Is auto-complete able to create P solutions and then perform NP verification by interacting with experiment or calculation IO? Couldn't it test solutions faster than a human on problems with massive solution spaces like folding proteins or aligning electron-hole pairs?

What’s the next phase? Billionaires manage to seize the means of bunker protection and remote-control the commoners into the wilderness?

Doesn't that make not supporting them even worse???

I just wonder how jobs like that won't replace their employees. Seems too good to last. In a few years OpenAI will just sell $1,000 per month Human-free Agent Coding for businesses.

Saying they have psychosis is a rude exaggeration.


Well it's a stand-alone program too, not just an extension. I kinda wish extensions could act as full programs too but computers need better sandboxing.

I used it to side-load Android apps onto my Quest 3 so I could try Chromium on it

Because its not a feature browser makers support.

It isn't a dead end when WebGPU failed at all their graphics performance promises for being better than it in every way.

What part of WebGPU isn't meeting graphics performance? AFAICT it's only people who continue to treat it like WebGL. It's like C++ programmers complaining Rust is slow and then Rust programmers say "stop using it like C++". If you want perf in a low-level API liek WebGPU you have to work with it using patterns that fit. If you stick to your WebGL patterns then yea, your app will suck.

A simple PBR shader on a mobile device. Anything that is basic graphics without crazy things like 10,000 lights.

I was speaking more to the willingness of vendors to support. It's debatable how well WebGL(2)/WebGPU are designed and especially implemented. But it does seem like most evolutionary features, if they make it to browsers at all, would come from the WebGPU path. Not saying the reasons for that are good.

Underrated comment. Our industry is littered with business choices made over technical ones that crippled or otherwise enshittified products.

But the technical is entirely subservient to business concerns, or else what's the point?

Sometimes that's true, like at work.

If you're talking about open source projects or decisions by some consortium, that's not always true...or at least one business is pushing their concerns at the expense of others.

An easily remembered example is what happened (at least from Pieter Hintjens' perspective, as he wrote/complained at length about) between AMQP 0.9.1 and 1.0


Ex CEO of Google says X about Y

Could this still be the ideal way for vectors of Ints in WebGL2?

Can an LLM program real AGI faster than a human?
