MCP is a solid, obvious idea . The problem is the implementation and roll out. It was shotgunned from the start and made an otherwise simple thing far too complicated. IME, a shoddy foundation always leads to shoddy construction on top. Wh

It also helps to develop better judgment and awareness so you never get into bed with bad people in the first place. "Lay down with dogs, you'll wake up with fleas" applies to business (even getting a job is "doing busin

Had to screenshot this as it's easily the best articulation of the housing problem I've ever read.

Is there a way to get in touch and chat about use cases? I have some low-stakes stuff I could test this against without causing a meltdown.

Assuming this isn't astroturf ("sources say"), this is a prime example of why you don't wholesale delegate your thinking and strategy—in a military context or otherwise—to an LLM. I really hope people are paying attentio

This could be really handy for triggering admin functionality. Would be kind of nice to just quickly be able to say "Reboot <server>" to a chat instead of digging through a GUI (especially when you're remote/in the

They are but combined with other AI tropes (It's not this. It's that.), it may as well be a fingerprint.

An em dash surrounded by spaces on either side tells you it was AI. AI: This is how we think about these things — because they're important to think about — when we want to accomplish a task. More likely human: This is how we think abo

I agree and would love to see a shift back to what we had circa ~2009-2010: high quality, desktop and platform-specific apps that you could just pay for once (the best variant for everyone being an app that works indefinitely, but only rece

That's not my framing, that's literally what happened/is happening.

> This framing of a zero sum game is counterproductive. I agree but that's not at all what I was getting at. Quite the opposite. The mistake America made, what made it vulnerable, was playing everything like a zero sum game. We&#x27

China played the smart long game and took advantage of America's ignorance and short-sighted thinking. They already "won" in the sense that they outmaneuvered the U.S. because they relied on flaws in human nature (specificall

Whoever prompted the agent, whoever supplied the means, whoever knew but didn't say anything.

Both. This should result in criminal charges.

This is a wonderful analogy.

That reads far too much like science fiction to me. As for how we could "not be outsmarted:" we're the ones prompting and controlling it . There is no blind autonomy here (and if there is in some pseudo sense, just unplug th

Right. And that's not accidental.

No one. But we can take a wild guess that experiments are being done in this direction. And that requires intent and system design that enables the behavior to even happen (i.e., a finger on the trigger).

by rglover 13d ago
Just like a gun requires someone to pull the trigger, AI requires someone to prompt it (or kick off the initial loop).

Because they're being put far too close to residential areas. The way they're being designed and built, they actually are an enemy [1]. Nobody wants to live next to that. [1] https://youtu.be/RAliBRyq_1c?is=iYxwnVj

I think the middle way is best here: use AI so you understand how best to apply it to your work but don't deprive yourself of the joy of doing stuff by hand. And if you so desire: just write by hand. Very unlikely to apply to any job m

I won't repeat it here but Cartman getting updates from Alec Baldwin is easily one of their all time greatest bits.
