I've spent way too many years chipping away at genai gaming, here's my 2c. First, the intersection between someone who understands and cares about genai (and keeping up with the SOTA), with someone who wants to put in the work and

In a nutshell: Google wants your websites to be more easily used by the agents they are putting in the browser and other products. They own the user layer and models, and get to decide if your product will be used. Think search monopoly, ex

Prediction was certainly the pitch. I don't know how many people genuinely believed it, beyond the level required to extract a profit. It's hard to measure what anyone actually believes in the current social landscape, where nobod

MCP vs CLI is the modern version of people discussing the merits of curly braces vs significant whitespace. That is, I don't think we're gonna be arguing about it for very long.

"Aping in" in crypto means (meant?) buying crypto without doing any research. I know it's not what the thought piece is about, but it's equally accurate to say engineers are "aping in" on AI coding without doin

The human brain rewards specific knowledge because it's already pre-trained by evolution to have the basics. You'd need a lot of data to train an ocean soup to think like a human too. It's not really the antithesis to the hum

Or, we could just use deterministic seeds in our LLM calls and solve the problem at the root. Obviously this won't work if your tools are not deterministic, but reproducible builds is a well-trodden discipline.

The word "legal" is doing all of the heavy lifting. Considering the countless adjudicated illegal things that the government is doing publicly. What happens behind classified closed doors? I guess you can consider it a moral stanc

This is a very well thought out prompt, the kind I wish engineers were writing. I would not be surprised if you feed this into the latest builders and you'll get an acceptable app out of it. I wonder why the author hasn't done thi

Honestly though, would it help if those in charge voiced their honest opinions? The current political climate is this is the kind of thing that will get you "investigated" and charged with crimes. And the government has already th

The logic used in the treats is that it's a national security risk to not use Claude, but it's also a national security risk to use Claude. We shouldn't expect these people to consider how the logic breaks down one step ahead

Keep in mind this forced parental control system in the OS is supposedly because of app stores. So we're already pretty deep in the law deciding what shape of computing you're allowed to do. What makes you think it will stop here?

It's one outright AI ban that I actually agree with. I can see some beneficial purpose for almost all forms of AI, but allowing AI generated reviews (for anything) is a perversion of the concept of a review for humans. Besides, you kno

This seems like a good way to get a feel for a coding model. It's like the images you get out of a diffusion model when fed an empty prompt.
