   Nice! I love the specialized io processors. Fantastic work!

   That is, in fact, open source. The community is not the license. The “open source” development community is a user of that kind of licensing. You might better describe them as the open source maintainer community. I do see how ai impacts m

   I live in a developing country. What I find is that the corruption is generally easier to navigate here that it was in the USA. The corruption in the USA is much more entrenched, in the form of regulatory capture. At the local level this ca

   I’ve been rounded up for things I wrote two decades ago because of my em dashes lol. The pitchfork mentality gives me little hope for how things are going to go once we have hive mind AGI robots pervasive in society.

   Bengio asks how to prevent intelligent systems from becoming agents. Hinton asks how to give intelligent systems the right instincts. LeCun asks how to build intelligent systems at all. TRACE asks a different question: what are we raising t

    How does this crap get traction here? I post things actually worthy of discussion and it gets 2 votes and disappears.

    Spends version of a relatively simple arduino hack you can find on GitHub. Also easy to defeat but probably works most of the time. Some people can hear it though.

    My worst autocorrect story is a message to my mother in law referring to my sister in law. I told my mother in law that I’d give my wife’s sister “a*al’ when I got there. It was supposed to be ”a call” I’m still traumatized decades later.

    Yeah, it wasn’t some kind of ethical utopia, but it sure as hell has gotten a lot less ethical in real terms. When you start Making things operate in ways that people dislike or are deceived by, it’s a very slippery slope, because everythin

    lol I am guessing that was an autocorrect error.

    Exactly this. General purpose intelligence and automation allow a clean break between capital and money as we understand it. Money is used only to pay wages. It has intermediate uses, storage, leverage, etc but at the edge all you can do wi

    I’ve been thinking a lot about this. I think that AI software automation tools are disproportionately more useful in greenfield work done by small or tiny organizations. By an order of magnitude, maybe 2 in some cases. What that means is an

    This was my take also until recently. It’s now become possible to write better code, faster than you’d get without AI. It’s all about planning and architecting things before any code is generated. It’s not vibe coding prompt->code, its i

    Something is seriously wrong with your machine or one of the persistent apps you are running. Backup, reset to factory. Try using it, if it’s fixed, try restoring. If it’s not fixed it’s defective in some way. If it’s broken only after you

    Personal harm may vary. If the government is coming for you (ICE) cookies could pinpoint your address, and since ice uses palatine or just buys data from brokers, they’ll use that to show up on your lawn.

    So wild considering that the USA would be an amazing place to visit (and live) if it were connected by proper rail. As it is if you’re not rich enough to fly private, it feels like going back to the Stone Age vs places with well developed h

    I think I keep misleading you with metaphors. Of course LLMs do not literally run culture as code in some trillion parameter state machine. They are, however, systems trained on the accumulated written output of human civilization that have

    THey wontt, but if we curate theirr training data so that killing becomes an objective, then they absolutely will.

    I agree that LLMs are machines and not persons, but in many ways, it is a distinction without a difference for practical purposes, depending on the model's embodiment and harness. They are still capable of acting as if they have an int
