Heaven’s Gate, ceteris paribus, WWII, derpy security robots, press-fit DIMM sockets, async Rust, etc. And optimistic as always: the hardware and systems AI doomers imagine are incredibly hard to get right; let’s see AIs help us before we worry about our own obsolescence!On this episode Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal were on a rant; but we welcome others on-stage!Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:How we got here: Tweet from Liron ShapiraComet Hale-BoppHeaven's GateCross price supply elasticity of copper and molybdenum marketsCeteris paribus -- Bryan's exit from economicsChris Dixon's book releasing in March 2024 (NOT AN ENDORSEMENT)British to American translation guide"It's not just human-level extinction... it's like potential destruction of all value in the light cone" - Emmett ShearVingian SingularityOxide and Friends: Tales from the bringup labOxide and Friends: More tales from the bringup labBullying self-driving carsAI Resistance Reservists: "For the Lightcone!"Samsung security robotsOxide and Friends: Does a GPT future need software engineers?"I for one welcome our new AI overlords"If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!
