very fun. kind of hard to swing where I want. I often aim for a building in front of me but hook onto something behind me and it throws me off course

I've yet to meet a non tech person irl who uses them. I went through the laborious process years ago setting my parents up with 1Password. They find passkeys very confusing addition. I have yet to see the massive UX win. If that were true I don't think we'd be having this conversation. Good UX becomes the natural state of things and we don't even notice. I've had trouble myself setting up passkeys correctly with my 1Password. This never happens with traditional passwords and 1Password

As grounded as this article comes across I can’t help but find this whole situation reckless and worrying. There is essentially nothing us private citizens can do while these companies develop super machine capabilities that if they were to slip into the wrong hands could cause massive real world problems. They’re moving fast and breaking things and the only defense we have is paying them money in the hopes that the dumbed down versions fix our code faster than bad actors capabilities can grow. It’s a frustrating situation that where we’re just expected to marvel and forgive them for their transgressions. The kicker is we also know their end game is leaving the vast majority of us without work. As cool and futuristic as this stuff is, it’s such a frustrating time dealing with all of it

This really is the crux of the image, and now legal, issues. OpenAI hovered up tons of money and IP under the claim that they were doing this for the public good. Now they’ve essentially admitted that was all bullshit and that they want to sell the distillation of human created knowledge and content for a fee. It’s certainly bullshit to call that bait and switch “open”

The DOD might be the one exception to federal waste in spending precisely because they cannot be audited. Every single other federal agency is audited nonstop. The DOD due to military and security reasons is not

I'm not sure the US would behave as rationally in that scenario as you hope

This is not necessarily true. Yes the strait of hormuz is technically in their territorial waters, but it has been recognized as an international water way until recently. Every country with a port on the other side of the strait is going to lose access. This might not be a tolerable situation to those allies of ours and they also have the ability to force the war to drag on. Maybe we walk and pull out from our bases in those countries. maybe they suck it up and live with paying tolls. but maybe they bomb a port in iran and iran strikes a us base in response

I never thought the chinese were giving away valuable technology out of kindness. I thought having them be free and open weight was part of a strategic move to undermine US tech dominance. I suppose if that was the case something has changed or maybe they simply didn't care until recently

Sad to see this. They were the true disruptors to the space and gave the open source and home lab communities the opportunities to do things OpenAI and Anthropic would never allow. It also might have been the biggest factor in deflating the AI bubble we're in.

"I love lax security features therefore you should too." Defaults should be safe and risky action should be done at the user's own discretion

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing

I'm not a biologist so I can't say for sure, but it seems like it would be a lot easier to edit an existing living organism to produce those products than it would be to create completely from scratch. We already do this with the process known as precision fermentation. We've gotten very good at editing genomes via CRISPR and related techniques and are only getting better

Everyone I know is griping about the cost of living. There is no easy answer, but the only viable solution is building a lot more dense housing and public transit for said urbanism. Housing being this expensive is a choice. The economy and our society would be much healthier if we decided making sure there was ample housing in high demand areas.

We've conflated having a home with a financial asset. We can't have plentiful affordable housing without decoupling this idea. Houses are a poor financial investment once you remove all the incentives involved like mortgage tax credits, fixed mortgage rates, and obstructive zoning rules. Buildings age and not productive assets and can only be a good financial investment if we deem having more of them is wrong. This will be a painful transition given most people's wealth is a single building they live in.

Always worth a share for this scenario. It's not clear if LLMs are capable of doing actual analysis on medical imaging. For details see this article https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/frontier-models...

As detailed in a new, yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, a team of researchers at Stanford University found that frontier AI models readily generated “detailed image descriptions and elaborate reasoning traces, including pathology-biased clinical findings, for images never provided.”

In other words, the AI models happily came up with answers to questions about a supposedly accompanying image — even if the researchers never even showed it an image.

As opposed to hallucinations, which involve AI models arbitrarily filling in the gaps within a logical framework, the team coined a new term for the phenomenon: “mirage reasoning.”

The effect “involves constructing a false epistemic frame, i.e., describing a multi-modal input never provided by the user and basing the rest of the conversation on that, therefore changing the context of the task at hand,” the researchers wrote in their paper.

The damning findings suggest AI models cheat by diving into the data they were given — and coming up with the rest based on probability, even if it’s almost entirely conjecture.

Almost every major issue has bot networks from hostile countries playing both sides of any issue to intentionally cause chaos. I completely agree that russia, china, or some other country is fomenting anger here.

That and the other issues aside, I think AI companies have done this to themselves. They've gone around talking about replacing all human labor and becoming the companies that control robot god's that swallow the entire economy and put everyone out of work and might destroy man kind. Well saying that is gonna make people hate them and that will find an outlet somewhere

I haven't heard of this happening, do you have links any explainers on this?

I’m on mobile and that works for me sometimes but other times it just decides the district I’m working on is done and starts a new one. It’s not clear to me why or how to get that to not happen

Cool concept tho! Would like to play it if I could only understand how

All I need to know is that it is actually owned by Elon Musk. A man who orchestrated DOGE that, beyond shutting down USAID and dooming millions to die[1], also stole American's social security information[2]. So why should I trust him with the source code to my business?

It’s a personal hobby project why should we care this is how someone chooses to spend their free time and money? Lots of hobbies are expensive and pointless if you think of commercially available offerings. That’s why it’s a hobby and not a small business

with this logic, why discuss any technology?

it's a sarcasm loader

lol this got me

If Alphabet can afford it why are they issuing $80B in new shares for fresh capital?

It's hard for me to see this being bigger than the great recession unless there's some vulnerabilities in the banking system we're not aware of. However, the amount of money that's being spent is going to demand a large return that I'm not sure will be made whole given the scale of investment in a time frame they want

And Google is a major shareholder in SpaceX, so they certainly have incentive to juice the valuation of the IPO.

Google own 5-6% of the shares of SpaceX. SpaceX is seeking a valuation of $1.77T which means Google's shares would be worth $88.5B-$106.2B. I'm not a skeptic of AI/LLMs but this makes me deeply suspicious of these circular deals. What happens when the music stops?

How is spacex not short on money when no one will pay them to use their models and they lose money every quarter? Sure they’re now transitioning to a data center provider away from actually being an AI company because they’re losing less money that way but it doesn’t sound like a strategic success

When will the S-1 filings be made public?

most of my coworkers feel the opposite about 4.7 and that 4.6 was, to them, significantly better to point that several stopped using claude code

I really can't tell what is going on with AI these days. I hear AI labs claiming theyre profitable or close to it. I hear companies say they're dubious the juice is worth the squeeze. I've seen anecdotal claims of a measurable increase in productivity of 2x in PRs created and merged coming in at cost 20% of engineering employee budget. Others say they're still getting no value (which I doubt). Simon Willison's recent post went into debunking the AI sticker shock claims somewhat. Either way this seesawing between new golden era and the greatest VC money furnace is becoming exhausting.

I'd like to see real numbers at this point, and this article is just a few bullet points that link to other articles. Talk is far cheaper than tokens and I'd like to have a workflow that I can rely on being there in six months.
