We use a C compiler for embedded systems that doesn't support link time optimizations (unless you pay for the pro version, that is). I have been thinking about some tool like this that merges all C source files for compilation.

Which, to me, makes sense. Once the underlying technology exists, a malicious actor would not think twice before developing tools of deceptionlike those. It makes sense that OpenAI would work on that "in the open" to demonstrate that we now need to be skeptical of audios.
Hopefully I'm not being over optimistic, and I only vaguely understand the many tradeoffs that go into rocket design. But, technology-wise, starship seems analogous to a falcon heavy propelling a space shuttle. Both of which are manageable, proven technologies.
I think you are incorrect. If you build a 230-m tall pipe and fill it up with water, the water at the ground-level end of the pipe will be at the exact same pressure as the water 230 m deep in the ocean. Hydrostatic pressure only depends on the depth, not the container shape.
It is different this time. I bet that was also said when the transformations that you mentioned occurred, but this time it really is different.
LLM models are pretty general in their capabilities, so it is not like the relatively slow process of electrification, when lamplighters lost their jobs. Everyone can lose their jobs in a matter of months because AI can do close to everything.
I am excited to live in a world where AI has "freed" humans from wage slavery, but our economic system is not ready to deal with that yet.
Too many times I have been the guy in the top left quadrant of the chart in the post. I eventually came to the realization that I have often been disrespectful to the intelligence and capacity of my colleagues. I am lucky that I get to work with smart people, and I have to remind myself that these smart people know what they are doing and don't want to do more work than necessary. This has helped me set my tone and ask better questions.
