At which point I'd ask: how much of that is baked into the AI now? It doesn't have opinions, research, direction of its own. Is this a path of codifying the worst elements of human society as we've known it, permanently?

This. Uncle Bob was already over, and now he seems to be hitting the skids REAL bad. Just listening to him is tough: this guy's bad news, I didn't realize he was this bad off.

You would think they'd run out of money. They are, but clearly this sort of thing is economical, especially in the age of AI: you don't even need banks of cellphones on little stands anymore, that was years ago. Technology evolves

And it didn't really get flawless, did it? All the same objections stand, but the cost is inevitably blowing up for the same kinda jank product.

Eliza behaved like it was curious, and drew out interlocutors in various ways. Was it curious?

No wonder I'm getting bombed with spammers: 0.1 fork/star ratio and 0.0527 watcher/star ratio for a 1.1kstar repo. The thing is, they are all scammers whose emails go unopened… and the tragic thing is, most likely the VCs wou

Our prompting is a heck of a lot more complex and includes a lot of nonverbal input. Our reasoning isn't only in language. That makes us quite a bit less predictable. Maybe we're conclusion-reaching machines?

A cron job ain't autonomy.

I can because I've tried stuff like that. It's a story being told. It'll seize on whatever brownian motion is in the environment ('Alma' in fact has extensive direction and prompting that seems invariant, so she&#x2

Sounds awful. I'm not interested in fixing giant messes. I'll just be tinkering away making little things (at scale) where the scope is very constrained and the fixing isn't needed. People can do their vibecoding to make weir

Oh, neat! Wachowski 'Speed Racer' but as its own aesthetic.

Nah. I'm only interested in the bits it doesn't know. Why would someone else's regurgitated whatever be what I wanted, why would that be help in any way?

But at that point if you're building in a self-destruct for a weapon that can be so dangerous it's worth sending a shuttle to take it away from you, surely it's better to adversarially trigger the self-destruct and not bother

Yup. I figured it out and went from zero to five immediately when I figured out it wasn't in the least orbital, but rather it was Undertale: you had to click when it was exactly tangent to the target, and then hitting anywhere within t

From everything I'm seeing in the industry (I'm basically a noncoder choosing to not use AI in the stuff that I make, and privy to the private work experience of coders and creators also in that field because of human social conta

In the sense of artists cannot expect to get any money for their work, yeah music's free. Becoming a meme or a celebrity on the grounds of personality is still fair game, to the extent that AI is not impersonating people effectively at

As very much an outsider and, to some extent, apostate to all this, it's pretty astonishing to see. Unironically not just delegating all thinking to a sketchy and untrustworthy machine, but doubling down on it by aping the caveman in t

It didn't. It predicted symbols.

My first reaction was 'blatantly ripping off Grug', and I don't see why not to view it in that light.

This gets complicated when the malicious have also read the saying and intentionally feign stupidity, but that's just chaos politics.

It's an object lesson on how certain historical things happened. We go, oh no how could those people have all been inhuman monsters? If only we understood what made them like that. And the monkey's paw curls…

Yeah, the Aira is clearly a softsynth. What makes a 303 distinct (and this is to some extent mirrored by a x0x) is the brutal simplicity of the circuit. These things are very very primitive and there are sonic qualities gained by the lack o

This I don't understand. DINsync is raw trigger outputs/inputs like you'd have in a modular synth, in contrast to MIDI that has to send serial messages over a 1k data bus. Perhaps this take has something to do with calling a

Confirmed. I wondered if it was a hardware hacker, as I've built a couple x0xb0xes from kits, but it was not. I guess this is where we are? I mean, 'we' that doesn't include me, 'cos I have x0xes and can do stuff wi

I would be surprised if the living writers can't sue over this.

The amusing part was when Grok would constantly go on rants about the Boer. It was a perfect example of making an LLM present as mentally unwell by giving it obsessions and compulsion through specifying axioms rather than trying to observe

There is no sense getting anything but these sorts of Macs, or the maxed-out top of the line ones even considering the hilarious prices. Either get the entry level or go hard. I've done both with success: am still riding a maxed out M1

I'm a Reaper user, and I'm Chris from Airwindows. If you run with my standalone Apple Silicon plugins on these there is essentially no limit to what you can get done in music making. The track counts are gonna be impossibly high:

Shucks, I'm only 1000 stars singlehandedly. Curse my woeful irrelevance :D I guess I will just have to NOT sign on to this nonsense and allow it to atrophy my ability to think of things independently, thus ending up completely dependen
