It would be great if we could have AI that wasn't trying to emulate a human. When it expresses emotion, we should see that as a bug that needs to be fixed.

Even if they could practically restrict access to US citizens only, I would expect them not to - it would be hard to regain that once lost and they need a global market for growth.

As much as it's true that a novice will generally use AI to build a sloppy mess, I've also had success unsloppifying through some careful prompting.

It's not just annoying, it's tiring

Plot twist: Apple PR team created this video to make claims that they slow older devices seem less credible.

A browser plugin that scores webpage content based on how likely it is to have been AI-generated would be quite useful.

Browser vendors can't build this.

I've been waiting for someone to say this. An agent will generally produce far more code than technically necessary for the task. It's a kind of over engineering which makes it increasingly harder to wrap your head around the codebase.

The issue is provenance. We need cameras and phones to digitally sign photos so we can easily verify an unadulterated image.

You also want to be able chain signing so that for example a news reporter could take a photo, then the news outlet could attest its authenticity by adding their signature on top.

Same principle could be applied to video and text.

I'd it's processed in 2 seconds, why not just process it immediately in memory?

It's all jit context

It looks like true 0-temperature (i.e. determinism) will happen. Here's some good context: https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeating-nondeterminism-in...

You can just call yourself a reasoning model now

This is written by someone who has no idea how transformers actually work

I think you've nailed it there. OpenAI are at a point where the risk of continuing to hedge on mcp outweighs the risk of mcp calls doing damage.

Once you notice characters aren't eating, you'll never not see it again.

Related, where they're drinking coffee from a disposable cup, you can almost always tell it's empty by how they handle it.

This is true for all crime.

What's missing here is tool use.

For example, if the llm had a compile tool it would likely have been able to correct syntax errors.

Similarly, visual errors may also have been caught if it were able to run the program and capture screens.

So, basically the same as Adobe with PDF

One aspect to consider is that the vast proportion of content in automated feeds isn't even sincere - it's just engagement farming.

That would be bad for anyone selling stuff

I have a few qualms with this app ;)

Unfortunately, carrying a SOC 2 attestation won't save you from vendor questionnaires (and one-off security asks), but it will make them easier. ;)

Which side of the wall were you on?

It would be awesome if you could encode data using this technique

Fast for hammering out boilerplate, great for understanding something you've never done before. Much less value for field-frontier or novel work.

Most providers don't support auth in their client implementations yet. Means it's only good for calling into public data. Private enterprise data is where there's huge value.

MCP Clients need to support auth (and probably the spec needs to have a broader set of options for auth) - this is going to be a major blocker for adoption.

The article comments "out of the box, LLMs are particularly good at tasks like creative writing" but I think this actually demonstrates the problem with the ai.

A writer won't think that they're good at creative writing. In fact, I'm pretty sure they'd think LLM's are terrible at creative writing.

In other words, to an expert in their field, they're not that good - at least not yet.

But to someone who is not an expert, they're unbelievably good - they're enabled to do something they had zero ability to do before.

We built tools to give context to an ai chat help embedded in our product. Included is the ability for it to see recent activity logs, the definition of the current object and the ability to search and read help articles.

The quality of the chats still amazes me months later.

Where we find it got something wrong, we add more detail to the relevant help articles.
