I guess that’s fair, and I had forgot going to a friends to watch their rentals together.
At least I definitely did not rip rented dvds to my hard drive.
I use agents a lot and have written several MCP servers now, the tasks I automate aren’t things like order cupcakes, it’s mainly the glue between complex things.
I still can’t get Claude to nicely open a JIRA ticket for me, but I can get it to read through a sequence of connected documents and filter that into.
I don’t think agents are ready for the main event and these are some poor examples of their power.
I’m not saying they won’t improve, but using the right tool for the right job is critical. An hour to order cupcakes is silly even for an llm.
Okay but that’s not what easier means.
Easier would be to call the bakery or spending 10 minutes browsing their website, asking to cast, and checking out.
I don’t want to spend an hour on tasks that would normally take 10 minutes. My executive dysfunctions already make me good at doing that.
This might be a revolutionary idea, but what if they helped me do that take an hour in 10 minutes?
I’m just putting that idea out there totally for free in case any AI companies want to jump on that opportunity.
I don’t mind paying for a solid rotation of content to watch, I don’t have to own everything. People were mostly happy with blockbuster’s business model.
The streaming industry is a heaping pile of shit right now though, and everyone is trying to dial us back to the worst of cable again.
Play Store is truly vile to use. It just feels gross and scammy and like a mine field of low quality slop and scam apps.
iOS isn’t great either but it at least feels a whole lot better. The iOS store needs the ability to report fraid which it doesn’t sort until you install an app.
It will take about 36 hours to fill this drive at 270mb/s
That’s a long time to backup your giraffe porn collection.
Do you need it? Probably not. Do you want it? Oh, yeah.
I feel seen
Haber most people reconsidered what they consider fun though?
They’re missing out!
If friends asked I would flash their pixel with Graphene, then set it up basically as they would use it for them.
Getting started was complex, your average user won’t have a good experience getting their apps added without a power user helping.
Had no idea they were doing that, but that’s plausible
And yes, it would shock me they can build this model this well and fuck this up.
I just hold little sympathy for the employees.
XAI was founded in 2023, 6 months after Elon acquired Twitter and did his layoffs. 4 months after XAI was created, when it was publicly announced, Musk stated that a politically correct AI would be dangerous
Anyone working at XAI already knew the game by then, they weren’t on visas who got legacied in.
During a launch event Friday afternoon, the mogul argued that politically correct AI is “incredibly dangerous” because it requires the technology to provide misleading outputs, citing the lies told by HAL 9000, the murderous AI in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film, “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
I thought she was already a rubber stamp
In April, Nigeria asked Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to set concrete deadlines for opening data centers in the country. Nigeria has been making this demand for about four years, but the companies have so far failed to fulfill their promises. Now, Nigeria has set up a working group with the companies to ensure that data is stored within its shores.
Just onshoring the data center does not solve the problems.
You can’t be sure no data travels to the US servers, some data does need to travel to the US servers, and the entire DC is still subject to US software and certificate keychains. It’s better, but not good or safe.
I need to channel my inner Mike Ehrmantrout to the US tech companies and government: you had a good thing going you stupid son of a bitch. You had everything you needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could have shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you needed, but you just had to blow it up, you and your pride and your ego.
Seriously, this is a massive own goal by the US government. This is a massive loss to US hegemony and influence around the world that’s never coming back.
It has never been easier to build sovereign clouds with off the shelf and open source tooling. The best practices are largely documented, software is commoditized, and there are plenty of qualified people out there these days and governments staring down the barrel of existential risk have finally got the incentive to fund these efforts.
In February when Grok 3 was first on every chatbot arena metric – that was just a bit after deepseek r1, and o3, and the space has evolved a lot since then.
However, checking wikipedia it actually seems like they juiced the metrics by using unfair comparisons and letting Grok try the problems 64 times and returning the best answer in their comparisons.
I’m a bit surprised the grok staff are capable enough to make grok briefly the top rated model, and incompetent enough they don’t know that putting things like this in the prompt poisons the model to always try and be politically incorrect.
LLMs are like Ron Burgundy, if it’s in the prompt they read it. Go fuck yourself XAI.
It’s actually wild that it was the #1 LLM for a while in terms of accuracy and usefulness.
But for whatever reason they seemingly keep fucking around with it for political reasons trying to make it politically agree with Elons stupid politics.
Definitely, I’m just trying to share a foot gun I’ve accidentally triggered myself!
For your database test data, I usually write a helper that defaults those columns to base values, so I can pass in lists of dictionaries, then the test cases are easier to modify and read.
It’s also nice because you’re only including the fields you use in your unit test, the rest are default valid you don’t need to care about.
The tech ceos really went off the rails during Covid.
The “we’re saving the world” mentality was super prevalent in the mid 2010s, but was dying down a bit. And I worked for companies that were exactly like WeWork in WeCrashed.
Then Covid happened and they completely lost track of reality.
Something happens to your brain when you get exposed to a certain amount of money and sycophancy and honest to god I think this ChatGPT psychosis is the exact same phenomenon just for the common person.
