Turns out people have to pay their bills in dollars, not company mission statements.

Syndicate (1993) should be on the list.

There is no rogue AI. Only rogue and/or negligent people.

He makes a solid argument about liberty, ownership and the cultish behavior rampant among certain AI circles, then proposes the most unhinged examples possible to support it. I'm n…

Use the appeal form. When I got banned, it took a few months but I did get my account back. In the meantime, I switched to OpenAI. Their latest models and codex are just as good if…

No thanks. Canada is better off as an sovereign state.

This lacks sufficient context.

Bob Odenkirk's publicist would like the gullible public to think that his client is some sort of deeply thoughtful intellectual because he's trying to line up his next gig and havi…

A few months ago, I had my Anthropic Claude Max account nuked for using OpenCode. That sucked, but I just opened a new Claude Max account under a different email. Which, yes, after…

Fair assessment. And worth noting that in a sane world, a broad 10% productivity improvement across industry would be a once-in-a-lifetime, headline-making story, not a disappointm…

Seems to me that a lot of people talk about nothing else.

There's an incredible piece of biotechnology that converts insects and inedible seeds and detritus into delicious, perfectly edible protein pods with very high efficiency. And at E…

This is sad and tragic but ultimately I don't think Mongo bares any responsibility here. If her partner left her while she was having a prolonged mental health crisis, would her pa…

At home, on my side projects it's made me 2x to 4x. At work, also 2x to 4x. The numbers would be even higher (4x to 8x) if I didn't spend half the time correcting slop and carefull…

My angle grinder begs to differ.

Never have so many people with so little to say, said it so loudly.

No. The absence of evidence is not evidence of presence. There are solid scientific reasons to suspect we might be alone in our local volume of the universe. IMHO, these reasons no…

Wait until you find out that's it's not just AI, or even tech. Everywhere you look, you'll find groups, businesses and organizations being run mostly by people who are just winging…

My first thought was watermarking. Same for it's affinity for using emojis in bullet lists.

Anecdotally: Many years ago, I spent several months in the hospital and trauma rehabilitation due to a spinal cord injury. Roughly half of the SCI patients were from water-related …

I agree with you on the importance of privacy. But if people can't muster enough outrage to leave Gmail, FB, IG, etc., then I'm afraid the answer to your questions might be "yes."

Last time I checked, hacking was still a crime in most jurisdictions - even if the target is considered a geopolitical adversary. This sort of activity is also against the Proton T…

Given how blase he and his wife were about stealing from a child, I half-suspect that wasn't the worst thing they did that week.

I kind of already assumed they were. I've got some pretty niche use-cases that I'd like to see the models get better at thinking their way through. I benefit from their training on…

Forgive my skepticism but this doesn't pass the smell test. In order to transplant the new spinal cord, they must first remove the old one. This involves cutting through the spinal…
