You don't want a 40-men strong team that needs to be managed, you want 2 guys that already did it and are hungry for the next 10 problems all on their own. "Hey guys, make our agents verify tool use before responding to the user.

I see two vectors here - The bot giving out PII by accident. You ignore it and report it. - You trying to fool the bot into giving you PII you're not supposed to have. But you've created an audit trail of your 100 failed prompt in

We could run it locally, but the problems that matter simply don't change. We're paying for servers that sit idle at night, you don't find enough sysadmins for the current problems, the open source models aren't as stron

Many people just play music as background noise. Having a bland, generic, vanilla AI music playlist is a bonus.

I've got some personal litmus tests: 1) Syntax/semantic split. Can the person accept that a function called "multiplyBy5(a,b) { return a+b }" doesn't actually multiply by five, but adds the numbers? 2) PR speak: Doe

That's true for traffic on Facebook, Apple App store guidelines or Google terminating your account as well. What's new is the speed of change and that it literally affects all users at once. They could have released Opus 4.6.2 (or

According to the constitution, women can be drafted into hospitals. Look at $$4. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gg/art_12a.html You could of course require women to register, too. In case of war, they'll be dr

They know this about every user. They have access to every message you send. They know where your device is at every time of day. Your name is all over the entries in your wallet, be they tickets, SF bus ticket or.. your credit cards.

Kind of sad they didn't release stronger versions. $dayjob offers strong NVidias that are hungry for models and are stuck running llama, gpt-oss etc. Seems like Google and Anthropic (which I consider leaders) would rather keep their se

To be fair to Clojure, I think it's perfect for rule-engines, where the users supply "business logic" at runtime. That's where "code is data" shines and you can manipulate it at will. For the rest, I'm gla

Sounds like there's still a lot of value in Typescript (otherwise they could have open sourced.) Plus there's demand for skilled TS software devs that don't ship your company's roadmap using a js.map 20,000 agents and no

It can be traced, but the people who could and should be tracing this have been told not to. Even if they found the culprits, what's a judge's verdict against a presidential pardon?
