> However AI cannot meaningfully handle feedback and learn.

Well this is the central bet of AI coding isn't it? We, the humans-in-the-loop, get better at knowing ahead of time which patterns AI will handle better than others, all the while the models actually get better.

Right? The last month alone has felt like a full year of experience compressed into 30 days.

> Starship at $170B is pure option value on technology still in advanced testing.

The argument that Starship is somehow an experimental/unproven technology that might fail to materialise was absurd but plausible sounding before flight 1, there were many new technologies simultaneously being deployed to a single launch system in one go.

But after 3 tower catches of the booster demonstrating centimetres of guided precision of the entire stack, this is becoming a tired argument.

I know the author is not making that case at all here, but it seems like one the core reasons to undervalue SpaceX is that Starship might not work out, and this all sounds exactly like how reusability might not work out for the Falcon 9 from 10 years ago.

> So I asked him. "What is your developer workflow using Copilot?" I was not prepared for the answer he gave me:

I don’t know why I get annoyed when LLM’s and their output are casually referred to as “he/she”, particularly by non-techies, but I do. There’s something about personifying an LLM that seems incorrect. Perhaps it’s a fear being stoked that increasingly, people might actually be thinking of LLM’s as living beings.

We're speculating here but between time correlation, browser fingerprinting and telemetry, the average user attempting to pull off a clean compartmentalisation of two accounts has no chance, even when they think they do.

Makes you wonder if Google models how much revenue they lose specifically to this fear, because it's very real. I would simply never use GCP or Gemini because the idea of being banned from Google for absolutely any long-tail reason is a far greater cost than any benefit I could derive from those services.

There is realistically no way to evade the account correlation systems that Google (likely) has.

That can be solved by filtering out any posts made after November 2022.

Those are all arguments for why Ethereum is a bad cryptocurrency, not for why Ethereum isn’t a cryptocurrency at all.

Especially given the LLM does not trust the user. An LLM can be jailbroken into lowering it's guardrails, but no amount of rapport building allows you to directly talk about material details of banned topics. Might as well never trust it.

No vigilant insider is making a series of "single market predictions with high accuracy" on the same account. They would make unlinkable bets on fresh accounts.

You can't be sure that they are an insider or lucky, just from onchain data.

Right, you just pay daily in worrying when, not if, youtube will terminate your account and delete your "videos".

Referring to engineers with top secret+ security clearances as "consultants" seems reductionistic.

Atomic clock non-expert here, what does having a fleet of atomic clocks entail and why would the hyperscalers bother?

I didn’t catch it either on the first pass but also felt something was off about the article, as if a human had sanitised most of the AI idiosyncrasies out.

Now I have taken note to auto-distrust any “article” that lacks an author name, who is willing to personally own any accusations of the article being AI slop.

Considering that you chose to not include your name or even a HN username in the byline of the article, there is an argument to be made that you are, in fact, hiding from it.

Also three uses of a semi-colon for no reason. Nobody writes like this.
