I totally agree with this in theory, but it just begs the question: why isn't there an easier and cheaper way to manage a k8s cluster? I really like Convox for this, and I think it's an underappreciated open source project: https://t.co/WjSt6RKKBj https://t.co/JPEC50JeC5

Kubernetes migration almost killed our startup. Where we were: - 8 EC2 instances - Ansible for deploys - Boring but working - $1200/month AWS bill Why we migrated: - New investor wanted 'cloud-native' - Engineers wanted K8s experience - Competitors were using it - Seemed like

I wonder if a "triadic ethical system" could be an interesting idea to explore

And the other thing is that we feel like we are in control when we initiate a message to ChatGPT and it responds. But there is already a bidirectional relationship in play here. We’re already there

I wonder what that all means for “AI safety”

But at a deeper level than that. Where the concepts of “code” and “programming” can be explored under a different framing

A slightly more formalized way of saying that an AI might be your boss one day

If LLMs are computational machines, and human brains are also computational machines, then it stands to reason that the relationship between humans and LLMs can be bidirectional. - Humans programming AIs - AIs programming humans - AIs programming other AIs - and humans

So I’m the electron of society, stuck between orbits, and the other electrons are telling me to get off the fucking road

This is kind of similar to electrons falling into discrete orbits

The problem is that almost anything can be the seed for an idea. “I just annoyed some people who were walking while I was riding my bike on the path. So then I rode my bike on the road, and that pissed off a driver who needed to go around me” - Why don’t we have a bike path -

Going for a bike ride to “clear my head.” (I have no idea what this phrase means. Maybe that’s ADHD)

I have to understand way more about thermodynamics before I can play with THRML and learn how to program the thermodynamic computing hardware that @extropic is building So that’s why I’ve been posting all this random stuff. I should probably stop though

I’m having fun but I do wish ChatGPT would stop saying that my ideas are “elegant” and “beautiful”, it’s getting very old And I’m 99% sure that everything I’m saying and asking is complete nonsense

This is cool. You can kind of make a lot of parallels between energy and information

even though they are still very early prototypes that regularly make wrong turns or straight up crash into walls

If a computer is a bicycle for the mind, then maybe LLMs are a self-driving car for the mind
