Ultimately no one cares how the sausage is made.

Yeah...now that prompt injection is a fact of life and basically unsolvable - we can't really afford this luxury anymore.

I just think it's hilarious that on one hand Anthropic will do research that basically concludes that using AI assistance makes you worse at your job.

While on the other hand want you to buy their AI assistance products for obscene prices, and hope you get addicted to them so you can never stop giving them money.

They also loudly brag about how none of their engineers actually write code anymore - while the quality of their products is actually dog.

It's worse than snakeoil that does nothing - it's like they are selling you poison while telling you it'll kill you. We're supposed to applaud them for being honest? It's a joke. They are basically drug dealers getting high on their own supply.

Gamers generally game on PC because they like building their system. Otherwise they would use a PS5 Pro or whatever.

The PC is an “open” platform in that you can buy and choose your own hardware. Intel vs AMD vs Nvidia, Seagate vs Western Digital, etc….

Using open software isn’t really more than a few steps from that. Being able to pick how your system works and customizing it to your liking is basically the software version of picking your PC parts. Gamers also like to run all sorts of software to rice there Windows desktops and will install all sorts of abominations tha mess with the Windows desktop shell. Much easier and fun to rice a Linux desktop.

Linux enthusiasts need to just learn how to appeal to their sensibilities. Valve knows, and they are very effective at getting people excited for a Linux based gaming platform. They’ve also proven they can walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

Sure, they won’t give a crap about the source code but there is more to libre software than just being able to change the source code if you want.

We’re also at an inflection point where people are getting really really really annoyed with companies like Microsoft treating them like lab rats and shoving Copilot down their throat when they don’t want it. There is a chink in the armor; people are opening up to the idea of alternative platforms where you don’t have to worry about any of that garbage.

making Linux unusable by using EEE or any other tactic

This will never happen because projects will just be forked.

The security model of this project is so insanely incompetent I’m basically convinced this is some kind of weapon that people have been bamboozled to use on themselves because of AI hype.

The sunset date is the 13th. V-day is on the 14th.

Beyond Good and Evil 2

Or just "gippity" for short.

won't somebody think of the goonettes?!

Should be essential watching for anyone that uses these things.

I use the built-in TokyoNight Day theme as my light theme in GhosTTY and I think it's almost perfect. Then I use TokyoNightMoon for dark. Works great. Hard to use anything else now.

If you're CLI application doesn't play nice with it (i haven't seen many) I don't use it.

What is this tool solving that I can't do with apt+bash already?

man the things people come up with to avoid writing bash scripts

I agree with the economic argument.

But I literally mean if you have a crappy business and put AI into it you’re just gonna make your business worse.

AI as a tool is not actually a solution for very much. AI can mark a good process better but it will also make bad processes way worse.

It’s a power drill upgrade when you were previously only using a screwdriver, but it’s still not a table saw.

The industry was always a disaster, but if you take a disaster and put AI in the mix you get a disaster at light speed. It was always getting worse and worse but now it’s speedrunning it.

lmao WTAF is this?

Whats disproportionate is the mountains of slop out there and the amount of people think they can just sling slop for cheap online cred.

Why would I want an intern? I want 100x Super-Employee. Scratch that... 1x10^6 x

Scratch that... 1x10^1000000000000.........

Violating this rule will result in closure/deletion of the offending item(s).

Should just be an instant perma-ban (along with closure, obviously).

Yeah and we’ll be forced to do this because nobody can afford computers anymore because of Ram and SSD prices because of companies like Google buying it all up at extortionist prices.

We’re going backwards by putting all of our compute back in the warehouse.

Do you care about uniquely ant experience? Bacteria?

Ethology? Biology? We have entire fields of science to these things so obviously we care to some extent.

Cursor is a 30 billion dollar corporation that couldn’t do this with practically unlimited compute for their AI.

Well done.

This sounds good to the "earth is overpopulated" crowd.

hahahah, have fun with that

This thing stores all your API keys in plain text in its config directory.

It reads untrusted data like emails.

This thing is a security nightmare.

Surely mass immigration will fix the affordability problems!

As if there wasn't enough AI slop in the scientific community already.

"writing code" was never the limiting factor and if it was you shouldn't be a developer

Haven’t used a single one that was any good. Basically a 50/50 crapshoot if what they are saying makes any sense at all, let alone it being considered “good” comments. Basically no different than random chance.

It’s slop all the way down. Garbage In Garbage Out.

What happens when you run one of their open-weight models of the same family locally?
