Oh no. What a shame. Never mind.

On the 29th June 2026 - if you searched for Jim Carrey on Google, you would have been presented with a Knowledge Panel stating that he had died the previous day. The panel included a date of death and a biography written in the past tense.

Working in knowledge engineering I saw a failure mode in action on a global scale.

Hadn't heard of AOP before, but funnily enough for a couple of years now I've been calling working with LLMs "aspective coding" - closer to switching context on different features. Will read up a bit more on AOP as it seems like the prior art on this way of thinking.

One example - I'm building an MCP server at the moment for a database I'm working on. In ChatGPT I want to do dry-run posts first that roll back before committing - both are POST requests with a property - and it loves to trigger the safety layer in the tools (for various reasons, it's hard to debug exact causes)

But I think this would make it better - QUERY before POST means different request types, not just the same with a safety flag.

I don't actually hate this...

It feels like the market on tokens has changed - until recently you were buying actual usage. Now it feels more like an all-inclusive resource where you buy 'tokens' that the resort decides the value of - watered down drinks and cheap buffet for everyone!

"The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment."

I was in New York for a conference 4 years ago, I was discussing with someone a previous project I had worked on in the UK that was a tool for companies to forecast certain risk scenarios "...you know like a building flooding or blowing up"

There were suddenly a lot of unhappy faces looking at me. I guess some folks are still a bit sensitive about that...

Sorry to tell you but Bugonia is a remake of a Korean movie "Save the Green Planet"

I actually thought about this a couple of weeks back that for agents - going backwards actually makes sites more capable - WAP would even be more appropriate. The ultimate irony though is that making websites MORE accessible makes them more agent friendly - the last decade of SPAs is what makes things harder.

Yep, until 1st June 4.6 is still x1 on Copilot, but will jump up quite a bit in coat - 4.7 was already highly priced, and the output was frankly terrible.

It still seems trying to build general models is mostly cost prohibitive - the frontier model provider and resellers are repricing in such a way the return on investment is dropping as developers and users become more cautious of burning their limits.

I'm still of the opinion that models like 4.6 don't need to be improved on - rather they need to be better integrated with more domain specific models in agentic flows.

Yep, hate it. Also I have a threejs MCP server that starts up when my IDE does.

Can't disable it now in Anti-gravity because the menu has been completely removed.

So AI AMP....

Reading this, it sounds very like what Ingvar Kamprad did with IKEA - although the structure is slightly different, the intent feels the same.

I work at Inter IKEA, which is actually a franchisor - the structure is a family run foundation sitting at the top, below the group that owns the concept and value chain, then the retailer licence to hold a franchise (https://www.inter.ikea.com/en/this-is-inter-ikea-group/the-i...)

Basically medical science too. My wife was able to diagnose her own anemia that the doctors kept missing, and has since been able to have iron infusions.

The human doctors kept ignoring the signals, kept putting it down to 'diet' and 'exercise' (even though she does plenty of both)

7 years ago we got a Polish Hunting Spaniel, and did our first trip to Poland. Since then we've been back several times, and each time you really see the different - new and upgraded road, city buildings being renovated into new housing and commercial areas - also noticed the costs going up too.

But also you start to notice that definitely a lot of people who left Poland are coming back, and with that skills and new economic opportunities.

I think this is something we'll start to see which is something like a Mandela-Effect, but from LLM results. When we had deterministic search - everyone could see the same result, but now using LLMs knowledge becomes a training and seeding issue. Two people can confidently be given completely different information, so in both cases perceived as true.

If this wasn't a tech CEO, we'd probably be looking at an active shooter/bomber situation

Played this and Rick Dangerous 2 a lot on the Amiga 500, fun game.

I think the risk is this; when non-technical users who've never shipped software in their life can dictate to a machine and get "instant results" it going to bring back managers not understanding that you don't just ship code. Especially these days where one bad dependency can mean downtime or worse.

We travelled Peru by bus for the majority of our trip (only at the end taking the plane from Cusco to Lima at the end). Amazing way to see the country

FWIW I tried it with the VSCode preview in two monorepos we have - one frontend and one backend GraphQL servers with complex types - absolutely no issues (except one breaking change in tsconfig with baseUrl being removed) and fast compile times.

1M Pixel was at least art

Second Life - at least you can play around virtually in that 'real estate'

This? Just seems like you get a jpeg.

Stop giving this man air to talk absolute bullshit

Yesterday I had a pivotal moment where I realised - I've allowed myself to become lobotomised by relying too much on AI agents. I wrote about it - maybe others are feeling like this too?

Reminds me of the extension I released 16 years ago to remove James Corden from the web https://thenextweb.com/news/shaved-bieber-becomes-a-meme-rem...

In 1999/2000 I worked on my own Thief levels using the dromed editor - it was both really fun to work with, and utterly frustrating - in a time before open source engines - there were so many small annoying bugs in the editor that would cause it to crash, so you SAVED often and even learned to version files as it was easy to screw up.

But the geometry that could be created was stunning - from courtyards to cathedrals, levels allowed clever use of light and shadow.

Well... Scott Adams was on Art Bell Coast to Coast AM a few times, so that tracks.

I'm still on Sequoia, almost 100% of the reason is how bad OSX26 looks. There's absolutely nothing compelling me to update right now
