>a patent system for ideas)

So, a patent?

That doesn't refute what GP is saying at all.

If it makes you feel better, it can be rephrased as:

> Most of them are using AI for all their schoolwork while performatively hating it because "nobody likes AI slop" or some other half-understood meme

that's not "performative" though?

and how is it "half-understood"? it's simply not the same thing

I actually agree with your prediction (on a longer time-scale though) but because I'm convinced it'll go the opposite, where AI begins to blend in to services people use in the background more and more, and people slowly move on and stop caring about it, both in terms of hype and doomerism.

I have heard multiple arguments that point towards this future, where AI largely becomes "normal" technology. I'm hopeful for it. There are tons of great use cases for AI, but it absolutely should not be in... everything.

This feels similar to the timeline that lots of new technologies go through. Blockchain (put that into everything!). The internet + dot com era were probably similar as well.

Treating ANYTHING like an everything tool just seems to feel this way. There's no reason I want to use AI to buy something on Amazon. Or plan a vacation for me. I absolutely want to use AI to scan through 5000 files and find that one thing I was looking for though. Different applications.

Shopping on Amazon is increasingly like scanning through 5000 files of very similar products at variable prices with variable options and variable delivery choices.

AI + a custom search engine - which might not use Google's metrics, or Google's sponsorship - would be a killer product.

So my prediction is that a lot of aggregator and middle man sites - like Amazon - could disappear within the next decade.

And Google might too.

An open network of independent search agents would be a gamechanger for the entire Internet.

Which is not to say this would be easy. But AI is actually well-suited to making ideas like these possible.

It would - finally - be genuine disintermediation.

Amazon already has an AI search tool via Alexa in its app, which I use to filter out products and largely buy from its suggestions now because of how good a job it does, making sure to also filter out its sponsored suggestions myself.

I almost always use Claude when shopping online, to find unknown unknowns. And I loved using Claude to plan a recent trip, instead of not bothering to plan at all because it’s so tedious. Just as a counterexample.

Since GP compared this to the dot com era, I’ll just say this all tracks

You are using Claude like people use search engines. Back then there were tons of people who said they don’t need the internet or google to buy things just like they say the same things with AI

But people don’t control the market. Once Amazon bullied their way to 50% of all retail sales people no longer had a choice. It’s all coming from the same warehouses so you might as well get the lowest price

If it’s cost effective to have an LLM operated business, that business will outcompete the ones you like until they either fold or end up looking like everybody else.

I suppose I meant more of “their” AI (Rufus?).

With your personal agent, you can use it for everything YOU want to do and I can use mine for everything I want to do.

But we both log onto Amazon and are greeted by Rufus, a stranger that I’m sure most people have no interest in using.

And maybe shopping is a bad example, but AI is getting jammed into EVERYTHING and I’m sure that’s not the end result.

Arguably bottlenecked by hardware

Really, exactly what that ?

That the energy needed to keep a large metal box weighing a ton or more afloat the entire time. At this point a helicopter is cheaper.

Why does it have to be a ton ?

Second, lifting a ton is possible with current hardware.

Third, this is not about cheaper or not, this is about it's possible or not(Also helicopter is cheaper is arguable).

Im sure given 5 minutes, AI will find the solution to an anti-gravity material.

More like a different set of files...

Some of us need slang dictionaries from “the street” and some of us have been in the presence of white hate telling this low down.

Don’t karma neg me because I tell you something you don’t want to hear. This stuff is a reality.

That does not change the fact that it still has nothing to do with jews.

You are simply incorrect, there's no two ways about it.

I referred to the article on urban dictionary as it's the 'only' real source for slang definitions on the internet. Obviously I knew about the term from before then, it originated from Terry Davis who's not exactly unknown on the internet.

If you'd prefer to see it used in the wild, feel free to browse the unfiltered sewage pipe that is 4chan or xitter and you'll see that yet again, the specific term "glowies" has nothing to do with jews. Maybe some people that use the term are antisemetic, but that does not change its definition.

Also, I wasn't the one that downvoted your comment.

You are over confident in your sources. There are things polite and agreeable to write, and there are things which will not be remembered openly in this way.

I can accept there are many truths, some settle over the other.

The White Devil boogieman is real, and celebrating modern cultural victories, feeding upon our self lies. This is one of their tells.

From the link you posted:

> Glower Share definition Flag

> Glower is a slang for a Federal Agent, usually used for one in disguise over the internet.

> The slang comes from a racist rant by the coder of TempleOS Terry A. Davis. "The CIA n*gg*rs glow in the dark, you can see them when you are driving. You just gotta run 'em over with your car."

Seems possible to me that somebody might use the terms interchangeably but I’m no expert on slurs. Lol at “horseshoe theory is when somebody has heard a slur”

Uh 0%?

There are many people that run open weight LLMs. And unsurprisingly, they don't all have a copy of the FBI employee database.

If you mean "using" an open weight LLM in combination with other tools or even potentially frontier models, then that's a lot more likely.

Well, I haven't tried asking my open-weight LLM for the FBI employee database. I imagine most people haven't.

Same here, especially as I stick with Opus 4.6. My usage limits truly feel limitless, I can just hammer a task over and over again until completion.

Meanwhile I just burned ~20% of my weekly quota with Astra making one config file for a service.

I didn't flag (don't have the ability to), but if I had to guess it's because both OP's reply here, and TFA are almost if not fully LLM-generated.

I guess that's fair. I guess I just see so many comments flagged that shouldn't be (though this one just said [dead], not flagged) that my mind chalks it up to HN being HN
