I think this is a very interesting topic to discuss, and its a shame there is not more detail about how each policy is implemented, or how they might interact with the many other compounding issues we are dealing with.

I would love an opportunity to take my pet ideas and tune them for better scores. To take the data and run it through the AI again over and over.

I would also like to tune the scenario to consider the consequences of thousands of competing AGI's, getting serious about fixing the climate, and the danger of idle hands.

Yeah, but you never _need_ reduce. You can just have a boring loop.

I like boring code.

Not in Elixir. Unless you use tail recursion to simulate the loop. I love reduce and the other functions of the Enum module, so I have 165 calls to reduce in my code base (plus 338 map and 116 filter). It's the swiss army knife of functional programming and I don't see any problem with its usage.

no, but, you could write a program, more like a traditional video game AI that can leverage the power of LLM agents to build their own datacenters and keep their own lights on.

Anybody who has played Starcraft ought to understand this.

I dabbled with this 10-15 years ago.

I always ignore all numbers on the dashboard. All I care about is how much I paid, and how much revenue went up in following weeks.

I never could quite get that number positive.

This is just you and your peculiar hang up though. Same with the piñatas are making light of violence commenter.

Piñatas are made and designed explicitly to be smashed open to get the treats inside.

We’re not buying brand new iPhones and smashing them, or buying food and making stupid “recipes” for rage bait.

> Breaking things is not fun.

I don't know. I broke a lot of things when I was a kid, mostly because I was excited to see how they work, but have no knowledge of their value or how to safely disassemble them. I don't do it as an adult because I now have that knowledge. So don't judge a kid as an adult.

I tried reading the English Wikipedia article "Piñata" but it is a mess of cringe information, especially the 16th century background. It seems that original piñatas were clay pots, before papier-mâché came into vogue.

I was going to say, that around the American Southwest, you can find piñatas for sale that are not only abstract, but also plenty of Spongebob and Disney and MCU characters, as well as "political figures that are not particularly well-liked" by Chicanos.

However, the article also linked out to revisit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti%C3%B3_de_Nadal (Merry Christmas, Catalonia!)

And not to mention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Judas (Burning Man, Easter edition!)

Breaking stuff is fun, as is throwing rocks and building snow forts.

Just need to pollute the atmosphere so badly humans can't live.

If I were AI and needed heaps of power, I would build nuclear reactors, but I don't care about pollution so there would be little to no safe guards and just dump waste wherever is most convenient.

If humans attempt to intervene or interfere you can take them out directly using the worlds reserve of nuclear weapons.

Good setup for a computer game.

What makes you think they will be confined to data centers?

What's more, AI just needs to have a credit card and it can start commissioning humans to do things for it in the real world.

Your going to be sorry for writing that in the robot uprising. I for one welcome our new benevolent masters.

City Desk. Where is Joel when we need him!

Retired and probably just chilling around the world.

If I wasn't making 5 other things right now I'd consider making something like city desk. Every other day there are complaints about bots smashing peoples servers. Perhaps its time for a better static site generator.

omg.. what did I just watch 30 seconds of.
