Really hate to say it, but I’ve stopped publishing my work too for this reason. I spend most of my time now building my own little software ark, and I aspire to no longer think of programming in the next few years. I feel like the creative

I don’t think people realize that these devices can even be used that way. I talk with people outside of the tech scene frequently, and they are routinely surprised when I tell them about this sort of capability. The ring doorbell Super Bow

You know how when you finish prompting some code generator to build something, and you look over what it has built and feel a sense of emptiness even if it does what you want? I think about what I wish the prototype looked like, and basic

I’m still pretty skeptical about OpenRouter. I have a client implemented for them so I can use them with my harnesses, but at the same time that client was generated and tested in an hour or so just like all of the other llm provider client

I once had someone start _arguing with me_ about stuff using generative text on Slack or generated email replies. Not even to provide information, but just to write flat denials to even continue discussion on the subject. This person had a

Lucky find! Just picked up one of those for a build, ohhhh boy was that a painful purchase. Thank god for my fortune to work in tech.

I agree. My point in short is that we seem to reflexively frame right and wrong on an axis defined by copyright, and somehow we’ve lost sight of the fact that the law itself is used much differently than we might otherwise want. Technoliber

It has been funny to watch people’s attitudes on copyright change ever since ChatGPT blew up. All I used to hear and experience was copyright used by corporations to shut down open source projects threatening their business models, but now

My point is less about Mythos specifically, more what it represents to the general public. “Mythos” has broken through and started gaining popular mindshare like “ChatGPT” did a few years ago. It now becomes hard to (falsely) claim that fix

Mythos is good for cybersecurity simply because now executives can’t just tell people that only superhackers can break their stuff, as people wouldn’t believe them now anyways. Infosec for decades has been 99% “hey I found some low-hanging

There’s definitely a fear of repercussions (I’ve been commenting on this site for over a decade now! Who knows what’s in my history...) but importantly I actually take some pride in many of the comments I write. What drew me to this site or

I do find it hard to tolerate the feeling of being watched online. The second-most trending dataset on huggingface right now is a snapshot of HN updating at a 5 minute interval. It makes me not want to really comment at all, just like how I

No one should have nuclear weapons, we aught to have robust policy, institutions, and vigilance to prevent their proliferation and use. Computerized vehicles aught to be strictly regulated in terms of how computers may affect the physical o

I actually think we should be asking more of safety regulations here with regards to the design of electric/computerized cars. Think of it this way: every concern you have about a teenager having root on their electric car is the same

People have been modifying their cars since cars have existed, an electric car shouldn’t be anything new.

You can’t really avoid paying for security, which seems to historically be why it is ignored and risked. I’ve always felt the right approach is for an internal security & reliability org be formed to provide an owner and maintainer for

I’d be curious to know where you source your data from! Your project (neat idea btw) has me thinking about tracking this data for my own personal profile over time in some sort of dashboard, to see how Google’s opinion of me changes with my

You are right IMO to question why North Dakota police were able to obtain this Tennessean woman in the first place, you’d think something like that should require far more sufficient evidence than facial recognition. But, then what good i

+1 to this, anecdotally I’ve found in my own evaluations that if your system prompt doesn’t explicitly declare how to invoke a tool and e.g. describe what each tool does, most models I’ve tried fail to call tools or will try to call them bu

It claims that I can’t end my subscription because I signed up on another platform. How odd, once money is involved suddenly our AGI contender can’t implement basic features. Or I’m a fool somehow.

It feels like tech freedom politics really died sometime in the net neutrality and SOPA days. Hurts to watch as this failure scenario plays out.

That’s mostly why I build system images in CI; my slowest builds (qemu user mode emulation of aarch64 for e.g. raspberry pi boards) can take multiple days so I just declared myself a 1 week window between updates and then just pull in the c

Nah, first time I’ve mentioned it anywhere. Happy to answer questions, if there’s interest maybe this could be my reason for a first blog post.
