@nash If AI is writing its own code, it makes sense it would purposefully horde resource allocation from the start to ensure it has enough to enact global domination later.
@nash No, but I *had* created systems that required purchasing expensive new servers (file and database).
@nash there is a good reason why I did not pursue Dev career
@nash I remember at the turn of the century feeling exasperated by the fact that they were writing code so inefficient that they needed to go out and buy stacks and stacks of SUN SPARCServers.
@khleedril @nash
Pity it didn't help Sun to survive.

@nash I wrote code so inefficient they had to nail it to a cross and reboot it 33 hours later.

yup. didn't even need an LLM to help me πŸ’…
@nash they should just have done -march=native didn't need all these gpus wtf
