Why even go that far back? For me, growing up, the internet existed but was not commonly used.
I don't follow it that closely but in a recent conference Jensen was talking about how all we need to do is throw more hardware at the problem and it will (mostly) stop hallucinating.
Thiel's argument is that all progress in non-software fields stopped at the end of the last century
That's one of his core starting points in Zero to One and a common motif in all of his interviews in the years since then
Jones here is just aping Thiel talking points back at you
Time to update the model Jones. Thiel is saying something new. Something has actually happened
You're just wrong dude. "Woooahah SpaceX is doing new and crazy things in physical reality!!" No, they're just a company that has hired enough white people to do the stuff we could do in the 60s.
You'd have a better argument if you said that spacex isn't a refutation of the problems of the world according to Thiel but instead a reaction to them
Do you know what the biggest buzzword in manufacturign is right now? It's "digital thread": you make a software model of the entire factory, product, whatever and do simulations while manufacturing or developing.
that's the development in US manufacturing -- modeling everything in software.
That's a pretty worthwhile innovation considering the marginal cost of iterating on something physically vs digitally
Software is eating the world. What do you want me to say. It's not a bad thing it's an advancement
This is like saying "People's ability to build models in Excel and VBA is completely atrophying.. everything new is built in Python these days. We used to know how to build models in Excel." (as the dumbass roman pfp posters would put it)
no actually dicking around with "software models" to reduce costs has gotten us exactly to where we are because we've done that for the past 30 years and now we have "Digital tapestries" but you can make 20~ missiles a quarter.
AWS has extensive tooling for essentially building an entire digital factory out of individual device digital twins & other iot/edge deployment features.
This is a real advancement with measurable gains in manufacturing.
Software's not going away it's cheaper and easier to do
If it wasn't making real gains people would stop doing it
Measurable Gains: shuffling paperwork around.
It's not that we abandoned the physical world it's that software fundamentally altered the way we interact with the physical world
No. There's no talent to interact with the physical world. It doesn't matter if you can model the software world. You can't do anytihng in it.
Shuffling paperwork is actually a physical action. I think you're thinking of MS Outlook - the software that replaced shuffling paperwork and where most of us spend 90% of our days
Talent to interact with the physical world simply isn't needed any more. That's what Software is Eating the World means.
jdance level r*tard. Go away moron.
When's the last time you "interacted with the physical world?" Please tell me
How many of these twitter roman pfp people do you think are interacting with the physical world? In fact, how many do you think are older than 22?
Truth is I "interact with the physical world" more than anybody on this forum (two knuckles deep in your mom daily). I think I know what I'm talking about.
No, I interact with the physical world more daily
I guess all of us here have been interacting with the physical world except for Jones.
