The offshoring ROI math used to be if it was worth it to have 30% worse code in order to save 80% on development costs.
Now the math for AI is if it’s worth it to increase your total costs by 50% even including cutting head count (and losing institutional memory) in order to make 30% worse code

@heidilifeldman they have absolutely killed the goose that laid the golden egg. For just a little more in tax breaks and a little less regulation they’ve squandered the American privilege. It’ll be so much harder to convince poor Americans to fight and die for stupid wars or for people to transact in the markets or for people to generally to trust institutions and process

rAIner Agentic Quantum Rehak"On 13 October 2023, six days after the #Hamas attack on Israeli settlements and bases around Gaza, Israel ordered the evacuation of #Gaza City, sending Palestinians in northern Gaza towards the southern border with Egypt. A document prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence and leaked to the online journal +972 explained the reason for this: it recommended the full-scale expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip into the Egyptian Sinai, arguing that this would ‘yield positive, long-term strategic outcomes for #Israel’. The destruction of conditions of life was intended to hasten the Gazans’ departure. The biggest campaign in the history of aerial bombardment rolled like a carpet of fire from north to south."

@researchfairy first AI couldn’t show incremental growth or productivity so it was about needing less headcount to save money and now it doesn’t even save money or headcount and in fact costs more but still doesn’t show any additional revenue resulting from its adoption
@carnage4life has there been a tech that was such a better example of the red queen race than AI? One month OpenAI is unassailable. Then Gemini pulls into the lead. For now it’s Anthropic. Who knows who the next super champion will be?
This is why smart contracts are such a stupid idea

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer - polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded - the guy bought
Can someone tell me the difference between AI assistants and AI agents and why the latter will succeed when the former fizzled because it wasn’t reliable enough to be trusted? lol

The biggest factors in the delta between what cops actually do, and white white folk incorrectly think they do:
1) Copaganda TV shows
2) Framing by newspapers and TV news
Without this sustained disinformation campaign against Black people, white folk would not accept this level of racism.🤷🏿♂️
