I have not had any LLM correct me even once. In any three-prompt LLM session I find at least one logical mistake, one invalid correction on the part of the LLM and one piece of outright misinformation. All of which is delivered in an author

The opposition in the West does not come from foreign propaganda but from sky-high house prices, sky-high education and health insurance costs and dropping living standards. All of which is the fault of the establishment parties and not of

The Stargate Project was announced in the White House in the early period where Trump promoted multiple deals like the Saudi $1 trillion investment in the US. Having Softbank announce this in the White House is absolutely one of the headlin

Naturally they back off. Trump and OpenAI wanted the "$500 billion" headline and they got that. What is happening afterwards does not matter.

What will happen to your salary in four years if that process works (which I doubt, but let's assume it)? This is similar to the rage from 2010-2022 when developers, often at the behest of their employers, enthusiastically promoted the

Tao's blue team stands for generative "AI", the red team stands for critical/auditing "AI". I have not seen any independent claim that generative "AI" makes programs safer or that generating supervisi

Biofuels get the subsidies so that in case of a major crisis like war there is enough food and some fuel for essential services. It is not that hard to understand. It is possible that studies were tweaked to support another narrative, but f

OP is not a programmer and the comment is the top comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44702811 There's nothing wrong with not being a programmer, but it is still kind of funny that "hackers" and the

Yes, the gamification is why some people like it. It is another addiction. Most proponents and bloggers are tied to "AI" money though, directly or indirectly. I've seen little organic praise from high profile programmers. Th

It is hard to answer that since the stack is so convoluted. Some parts are forced on the user. Copilot is built into Microsoft Office workplace applications. If you break out of a container, do you have access to the same system that serves

The open source ecosystem was perfect before Microsoft tried to meddle, assimilate and destroy. Microsoft has destroyed several open source projects by infiltrating them with mediocre MSFT employees. Microsoft bought the GitHub monopoly in

There was a time in programming that tried to avoid monstrosities like the Python scientific data stack combined with Copilot integration hacks. That time produced qmail and postfix. We are back to the early 1990s.

1995-2000: The Economist warns about the bubble. 2024-2025: The Economist fuels the bubble. The attack on humans is coordinated. Vance is pushing for "AI", which is curiously but deservedly under-reported in the US/EU press,

You can obviously upload them to some other place. You mentioned Commons, I did not.

More training material? Why not upload them under the most restrictive copyright possible?

So this style of articles is the future? Pages of unconnected bullet points that mention the word "Claude" at least 100 times. No real information and nothing to remember.

They want cracked developers and sell the slop generator to script kiddies.

It is good for you to feel that way, others increasingly view it as a narrative endorsed by big tech to get free labor and "AI" training material.

Users and companies can force you to continue to work on your project. Otherwise they'll fork it, make it worse, blame you for bugs they introduced in the fork, say that the original project wasn't that good, etc. Basically, the

If nobody writes "content" any more, there will be nothing to summarize. Google is stealing the clicks from real websites that try to make a living. This is naturally not addressed in the US "AI" Action Plan, same as cop

Yet again the key point of the article is "[AI is] encouraged at Shopify". Without fail all of these articles are externally driven to some extent.

As you (probably) imply, the rhetoric is fake and the game continues as it always has. The UNESCO thing is probably a gift to MAGA to distract them from certain other problems/scandals that this administration currently has.

Thanks that the OSS value is $12 trillion, but only packagers, security experts and SaaS companies get any of that. Rebuilt to Last? It is a Google project, so I give it two years.
