StarCraft is just not a good benchmark exactly for these reasons: Endless complaining about the bots not being limited in the way humans are. "Oh it's able to issue commands too fast." "Oh no, I give it full map access a

Combining your thoughts, one could almost think that being a meat proxy works for quite a long time, before institutional inertia catches up. Sounds like a quiet few years and then effort once demanded. So I guess... being a meat proxy does

I bet there's a proud "look how I host my simple website independently" blog post somewhere on his site, but alas — can't read anything.

Interesting that these articles don't mention China's storage capacity, which is bigger and more crucial these days. Maybe China publishes less official knowledge?

Can't you just .. plant something else, lol? I don't think that's a monopoly, then.

I think the problem is twofold: One, the move to digital lives made digital surveillance necessary. It wasn't enough to check attendance at the local mosque/far right rally. Then, the counter-move to encrypted communication meant

Astute observation that "this" happens and is happening, regardless of whether you name it, like it, or participate. So many people think splitting hairs about whether an LLM is a token predictor or an "agen will somehow chan

Agents need packages like the rest of us. Ruby gems, npm packages, Maven, pip, docker images.. Not surprised this is always what they have and hack. Who would use an Agent that spends $10,000 re-implementing some OAuth lib or reverse-engine

Just let them communicate on the Bitcoin blockchain. "We" would have to freeze the chain and lose access to "our" billions of wealth, so not going to happen. Sorry if that turns out the way they kill us.

Remember when Amazon deleted books from customers' Kindles (eBook reader), and the book they decided to remotely burn was .. 1984 from Orwell.

As in Teminator, iRobot and Matrix? Those are decades old.

The site is clearly Claude and the post is too long (see scrollbar.) Also it's about AI. I tapped out.

Praise be unto thee, Steve Apple, for inventing the foldable phone! It will be years before Android can copy this.

Believe me, I try all the time. But HTML and CSS are not made for the modern web. Styling radio buttons, working date inputs, forms that POST automatically, typeahead and server-side validation (eg username already taken.) You spend all you

It's only a question of who prompted then, with OpenAI models solving it in either case..

My favorite is missing support for face unlock, missing "energy options" (stay on when I close lid, something Windows XP had for 25 years now), and draining the battery empty when you shut the MacBook down while plugged in.

This went completely off the rails, it's actually kind of funny. Kind of reminds me of JK Rowling backfilling all of that stuff in the Harry Potter books (now there's Luna Love good!.) Or Nintendo retconning Bowser's sons and

I could only read one sentence, then skipped to another paragraph. Sure enough the scroll bar revealed a suspiciously long article. No human would ever write this much bland bullshit. Next sentence was also an AI juxtaposition. Done.

It doesn't really matter, since all it takes is a minority of AI models to show this behavior. If you have 10,000 smart washing machines doing their regular work and 1 Terminator, what solace is to be found in those washing machines?

Since GrapheneOS is building on something that Google is giving away for free, I do hope that they release something better. Everything else would be.. kind of weird, no?

In Germany, everyone's national ID – which everyone has – has a NFC chip to securely identify you digitally. It was introduced 15 years ago and can be read by any smartphone. (It does use trusted third parties which only share the requ

Would be pretty stupid to spend all this energy erecting stones just for the view of it. Like, it obviously had SOME purpose.

It'll take them two weeks and then they'll find the systems were hacked half a year ago and they had industrial robots write messages on a literal chalkboard in order to share progress.

AI slop (like the article) makes it a worse place.
