It's simply a fact that LLMs cannot learn. RAG is not learning, it's a hack. Go listen to any AI researcher interviewed on this subject, they all say the same thing, it's a fundamental part of the design.

It still can't learn. It would need to create content, experiment with it, make observations, then re-train its model on that observation, and repeat that indefinitely at full speed. That won't work on a timescale useful to a huma

Since this post is about art, I'll embed here my favorite LLM art: the IOCCC 2024 prize winner in bot talk, from Adrian Cable ( https://www.ioccc.org/2024/cable1/index.html ), minus the stdlib headers: #def

As an older person, I'm not worried. The world changes all the time. People are put people in difficult situations, and they have to adapt. "Oh no, how will people learn things?" is not that big of a struggle in the grand sch

For non-Mac users: A laptop with an iGPU and loads of system RAM has the advantage of being able to use system ram in addition to VRAM to load models (assuming your gpu driver supports it, which most do afaik), so load up as much system RAM

Honestly it's for the best. People keep thinking it's safe to use AI tools without VM, credential, and network sandboxing, the same way a person who's "only buzzed" thinks it's safe to drive a car. I wouldn&#x2

A VM is table stakes for isolation. Nothing OS-level is going to prevent breaking out, the attack surface is too big and none of the common OSes are hardened enough. But also missing here is the firewall, which you need to prevent both data

McCarthyism began in 1947, with Truman demanding goverment employees be "screened for loyalty". They wanted to remove anyone who was a member of an "organization" they didn't like. It began with hearings, and then b

It's really not bad quality. The code written by AI is pretty decent now and fixing it is easy too. There are people making poor decisions with the technology (like OpenClaw); that doesn't make the technology bad. With AI you can

OpenAI lost the race to nerds' hearts. In the latest benchmarks, OpenAI is simultaneously cheaper (like 50% less?) and scores hire in coding and tool use benchmarks (GPT-5.3-Codex trounces Opus 4.6), yet all the coders want to marry An

You would need to make those double-quotes into single-quotes. Double-quotes will interpolate the $() immediately, running basename before find runs. Single-quotes will not interpolate the $(), so the whole string gets passed to find for

I find it amazing that we continue to let parents ruin society with their overprotective bullshit. They should be parenting, not passing the buck. This isn't the first time overprotective parents have caused problems for everyone else.
