I like how the TTS just breaks. You can really FEEL the AI.

This is true, though the people that actually push the field forward do know enough about every level of abstraction to get the job done. Making something (very important) horrible just to rush to market can be a pretty big progress blocker.

Jensen is someone I trust to understand the business side and some of those lower technical layers, so I'm not too concerned.

So you're washing dishes now?

In a just world you would do 16 hours of manual rock breaking and tilling in a gulag for a decade then you can come back and tell is how essential email is to your life, sorry "digital life" whatever the FUCK that is.

If the bottom 50% disappeared they would be replaced with migrants in 1 or 2 weeks. If the top 10% disappeared the nation and all it's lifeline systems would cease to exist and the bottom 50% would slowly rot.

We could probably weather the storm of losing the top 0.1%, but, taking a good for the nation perspective, I'd rather that money get distributed to the top 1% than the bottom 50%.

I think finding and transporting 170 million migrants in 2 weeks to replace the bottom 50% would be quite the engineering challenge if at all possible.

Of course living with a predator will increase your paranoia levels which will over a population bump people up to certain disorders. /s

Or even, which subset of humans' uses cases you wish to concern yourself with as you can't always please everyone or tackle everyone's problems. If one only cared about a single language everything becomes much easier.

Yes. Let's be thankful that isn't the case for browsers and major GUI toolkits though.

Data that can be visualized is rarely useful. Better to create a language to talk about it.

Often you need a language in the first place to even be interested in the graph at all. Graphs are worth a thousand words if you are willing to throw out any data that

Is higher than 3D

Requires control flow or recursion to explain

Of course you can have diagrams systems that are languages e.g. Feynman Diagrams (a sort of DSL for quickly reading QM math). I would hold this up as a much greater achievement of human ingenuity than r/dataisbeautiful spam. But the differentiation here isn't between text and graphs, but between languages and glyphs.

I was thinking about this last night before bed. People often counter that data visualization in 2D and 3D are more important and that we need a visual programming language.

I completely disagree, if LLMs have taught us anything it's that the semantic space is MASSIVE and has far too many dimensions to visualize. Of course for some specific situations visualizations are great and can give you almost immediate insight, but for truly complex problems the only ability we have as humans that lets humans understand complex relationships is language

Now language can be visual, textual or auditory. But at the end of the day it must be a language. Music notation isn't a language, it's a very simple set of semantics splayed out in a standard way, when people try to increase the semantic density it turns comical, also there is very little contextual relationship between the semantic markings (key affects notes and ties affect notes but key never affects ties). Whereas a programming language can have entire scores a single identifier. Many people have a shared, somewhat lossy understanding of unreal whether they worked with it, played a game with it or whatever, one that can include a lot more than just the code.
