Our phones stopped being ours ever since we accepted phones with locked bootloaders. I hope Android and iOS both disappear. Trading freedom for security has resulted in what we knew would happen.

MacBook Neo 5 months ago

Instead of launching neo, Apple could have enabled something like Dex on their phones. This is still a welcome device if Apple has excess inventory of A18 lying around as this helps people get a laptop for cheaper.

What if someone deploys an agent with the aim of creating cleverly hidden back doors which only align with weaknesses in multiple different projects? I think this is going to be very bad and then very good for open source.

I tried to vibe code a technical not so popular niche and failed. Then I broke down the problem as much as I could and presented the problem in clearer terms and Gemini provided working code in just a few attempts. I know this is an anecdote, but try to break down the problem you have in simpler terms and it may work. Niche industry specific frameworks are a little difficult to work with in vibe code mode. But if you put in a little effort, AI seems to be faster than writing code all on your own.

Sam Altman has argued that AI development in the U.S. will suffer if models are restricted from using copyrighted data, as such data is crucial for training high-quality AI systems. This raises an important question: If AI models are allowed to train on copyrighted material, should they also be open source? The argument for open-source AI is that if companies benefit from copyrighted content, the resulting models should be accessible to the public rather than being locked behind proprietary systems. I agree with Sam Altman and believe that access to copyrighted data is essential for AI progress. However, I am looking forward to an ethical solution that also helps creators of the copyrighted material, ensuring they are fairly recognized and compensated.
