    This kind of narrative is going to bite them just like the "AI will take your job" narrative has. It feels like the frontier labs are taking a massive gamble with public perception…

    I'm sure they will, but any user extension that interferes with the DOM (as an adblocker does) will break remote attestation, so the website will reject your request.

    It is not difficult to imagine that freedom disappearing soon, under the veil of security. It will not be long before Google's remote attestation becomes commonplace, and then it w…

    cached thought. running CLIs is impractical and expensive in many environments and a hell of a lot less secure than using MCP

    This is interesting because I assume it has suffered the same linguistic degradation as the word "fine" which in some cases means "of the highest quality" but mostly means "meh". I…

    so, instead of (foo (bar (1 2 3)) you'd prefer { foo { bar { 1 2 3 } } } is that right?

    It's very clearly written by AI, which means that the thoughts expressed are not novel and the story told cannot be trusted. How can you expect people to spend time digesting the c…

    If your competitor is cutting jobs because of AI you can either race them to the bottom or you can use the humans you already have to leverage AI to expand your product offering, b…

    Why do you continue to extend the benefit of the doubt to your former employer when they have shown themselves to be untrustworthy again and again?
