These sorts of ‘ethics’ questions are mildly amusing. The ‘ethics’ of using nuclear bomb was something that came AFTER the creation of the atom bomb. Once created; there is no way to put the genie back in the bottle. Want to stop, or slow AI because of ethics? That just opens the door to others taking the lead in developing these LLM’s. The argument for slowing AI development because of ethics is just wishful thinking bordering on the absurd. The industry is not in a ‘money grab’. It is in an arms race. The prize for the winner(s) can only be imagined. ---

Treaties are hardly reserved for nuclear weapons. Treaties are military/political security constructs that go back to the dawn of humanity. ---

It takes a certain type to not burn out to the ground. Been here 16 years, most people stay for just a few. I’ve been working late nights for a while due to a problematic project but I’ll be taking time back, claiming comp time for all the late nights. It is still changing and not the same place I started at all that time ago. Many things have gone downhill, but I’m trying to keep up the good fight. ---

I know many people who work for Amazon and all if them make significantly more than I do but my quality of life and work life balance is bar none better in every way than theirs. No offense . I just would rather make way less and be happier than grind at that level. ---

No offense taken. Quality of work life balance varies drastically depending on department and management. I normally work under 40 hours a week probably :joy:🤫 but there are times where I may end up working late nights for a couple weeks. Sometimes I’m on call and paged out in the middle of the night. I take comp time when I have late nights or pages and take the time back off later once the projects are done. It works out well for me but only because I know when to let things hit the floor. There is literally infinite work available I could work 24/7 and not be done. You need to acknowledge that and prioritize and let crap fall over or you will work yourself into a grave. You also need to track your “overtime” and learn to screw off and make that time up later as much as possible. ---

Using Next.js means that all changes to the engine warp-speed need to be routed through the nearest star-base before changes can occur. Does this also apply to weapons? I would think these would be better implemented on the client. Starships are clearly single-page-applications (SPA). I am pretty sure that the Borg are the only advanced civilization to use Next.js. Trying to reason with them is impossible.
