And--hoo-boy--this one had some range. 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!\nOn this episode Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal were on a rant; but we welcome others on-stage!\nSome of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:\nHow we got here: Tweet from Liron Shapira\nComet Hale-Bopp\nHeaven's Gate\nCross price supply elasticity of copper and molybdenum markets\nCeteris paribus -- Bryan's exit from economics\nChris Dixon's book releasing in March 2024 (NOT AN ENDORSEMENT)\nBritish to American translation guide\n\"It's not just human-level extinction... it's like potential destruction of all value in the light cone\" - Emmett Shear\nVingian Singularity\nOxide and Friends: Tales from the bringup lab\nOxide and Friends: More tales from the bringup lab\nBullying self-driving cars\nAI Resistance Reservists: \"For the Lightcone!\"\nSamsung security robots\nOxide and Friends: Does a GPT future need software engineers?\n\"I for one welcome our new AI overlords\"\nIf we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!
