You could literally set up a heartbeat or a cron. It's faster than setting up the claw. And if you don't know how, CC does.

That's a great answer. I hadn't considered that this could be considered casual literary entertainment.

I skimmed this; it isn't terrible content (even though many parts are clearly AI written). But I don't understand the purpose of this book. Is it an educational material, a speculative fiction, or an essay trying to convince the r

It kind of freaks me out that there are AI generated photos of people's kids (with what seems like their real names) being featured on the home page. Maybe this is all fine but it would definitely make me less likely to use this. And I

This is why companies get broken up. Usually they'll try to hide the monopoly/tying to avoid this. What's interesting is that they don't seem to be trying. It's not the same thing but it does remind me of [1]. [1]

The problem is any non-cryptographic proof can be spoofed at infinite speed. Which really defeats the whole stack. If you are inside a trusted network then yeah, maybe you don't need any of this. Then again, maybe you do, it's not

But we're talking about authority of naming things being justified by a tech resume. It's as irrelevant as George Foreman naming the grill.

I got Minority Report vibes. This kind of approach might be what (finally) unlocks visual programming? I feel like most good programmers are like good chess players. They don't need to see the board (code). But for inputting the code t

Remember when GPT-3 had a $100 spending cap because the model was too dangerous to be let out into the wild? Between these models egging people on to suicide, straightforward jailbreaks, and now damage caused by what seems to be a pretty tr

Number one rule is don't start from scratch. If you have something you already like and code is available, clone it and point the agent to the code. If not, bootstrap some code from screenshots or iteration. Once you have something t

This is going to happen. Unfortunately. I shudder to think what the industry will look like if software development and delivery becomes like Youtubing, where the whole stack and monetization is funneled through a single company (or a coupl

They are obviously losing money on these plans, just like all of the other companies in the space. They are all desperately trying to stay in power, and this policy change (or clarification) is a fart in the wind in the grand scheme of what

Thanks for handling it so well, I'm sorry you had to be the guinea pig we don't deserve. Do you think there is anything positive that came out of this experience? Like at least we got an early warning of what's to come so we

Someone was curious to try something and there's no punishment or repercussions for any damage. You could say it's a Hacker just Hacking, now it's News.

A lot of AI SF also seems to have missed the human element (ironically). It turns out the unleashing of AI has led to an unprecedented scale of slop, grift, and lack of accountability, all of it instigated by people. Like the authors were s

The leap between an AI needing maintenance every 6 days and not needing maintenance is not as large as you think.

But locally, dollars are a zero-sum game. Your dollars came from someone else. If you make a project better for yourself without making it better for others you can possibly one-up others and make more dollars with it. If you make it better

Agreed, I was thinking it's like asm.js where it can "backdoor pilot" [1] an interesting use case into the browser by making it already supported by default. But not being able to "just" load the file into a browser

What if "Stallman was right" and this means users will actually pay people to make software for them, even if it's "open source"? (TFA doesn't mention open source but it might as well be if cloning is cheap) Pr

If the news is AI generated and the government's official media is AI generated, reporting on content that's AI generated, maybe we should go back to realizing that "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog". Ther

Unfortunately enforcing "human behind the push" would break so many automations I don't think it's tenable. But it would be nice if Github had a feature that would let a human attest to a commit/PR, in a way that co

If you place blades on the sidewalk outside your house the cops will want to have a word with you. There's no excuse, and we should treat AI the same. The law needs to catch up -- and fast -- and start punishing people for what their A

"Safe" is the most dangerous word in the tech world; when big tech uses it, it merely implies submission of your rights to them and nothing more. They use the word to get people on board and when the market is captured they get to

I admire the EU's attempts at things like the cookie law, age verification, and tackling the addictiveness of infinite scrolling, but the implementation is pure theater. Trackers have much more effective techniques than "cookies&q

If you have a TUI the correct way to support mobile browsers is to 1-shot a React page equivalent. Trying to make the mobile keyboard work for this would be silly.

I think people who run 15 agents to write a piece of software could probably use 1 or 2 and a better multi-page prompt and have the same results for a fraction of the cost. Especially with the latest models which pack quite a long and meani

It matters because if the code is illegal, stolen, contains a backdoor, or whatever, you can jail a human author after the fact to disincentivize such naughty behavior.
