Confusingly, Codex their agentic programming thing and codex their GUI which only works on Mac and Windows have the same name. I think the latter is technically "Codex For Desktop", which is what this article is referring to.

>Anyone trying to stay safe will be on the gradient to a Stallmanesque monastic computing existence. As a proud neo-luddite, I'm watching the AI hype with grim amusement and I'll tell you hwhat, it doesn't look like a good time. Even putting to one side the planetary scale economic crash that is incoming, all the hypers seem to be on some sort of treadmill that is out of their control and it simply doesn't look like…
Do you think that avoidance is going to protect you from the fall-out?

> for normie agents to take off in the way that you expect, you're going to have to grant them with full access At this point it's a foregone conclusion this is what users will choose. It'll be like (lack of) privacy on the internet caused by the ad industrial complex, but much worse and much more invasive. The threats are real, but it's just a product opportunity to these companies. OpenAI and friends will sell the…
> Anyone trying to stay safe will be on the gradient to a Stallmanesque monastic computing existence. Honestly, it's alright. Just think of what we could do with computers up until this point. We keep all those abilities. And more, even, because the industry still keeps churning out new local LLMs. So you even gain more capabilities than right now. Just not at the rate of the bleeding edge. Which is just like the Lin…

Their solution will be to push mandatory and nonconsensual updates to your devices which limit your device and your freedom in the name of security. Like Google is doing to Android in September. You will no longer be able to install "unverified" software on anything. To address prompt injection attacks they're probably working on an approach where your data all has to be in the cloud and subject to security scans. Th…
Google is almost certainly doing this because the iOS was not found to be a monopoly, while Andorid was. It came up in Google's appeal of the Epic case verdict, where they directly asked the judge about it. Turns out you can't be anti-competitive if you don't have [allow] any competitors.
Prompt in the second video: "Reduce the font and tagline length" Now we are using LLM just to adjust font size? Also third video: "Generate an image for the hero section..." I can't understand why OpenAI(or Google, or whatever AI companies) thinks it's okay to put an AI generated image for product description. It's literally fake.

>Google's upcoming nonconsensual degradation of Android should be a lesson for everybody. Google is almost certainly doing this because the iOS was not found to be a monopoly, while Andorid was.

"You've hit the message limit, upgrade to Plus for more". Ok. I upgrade. "You've hit the message limit, upgrade to Plus for more". Hmm. They've charged me. There's no meaningful support. I just got scammed, didn't I...

> >writes with dash > Yet, somehow, I'm quite confident you're not an AI. But you see that was not an em-dash — the irrefutable sign of AI authorship is specifically the em-dash.
Irrefutable eh? As someone who has used em dashes in my writing my entire life, these comments drive me crazy! Where exactly do you think that they learned to do that? E.g. 2018: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17598113#17598506 Banana battery: zinc nail, copper penny, spark— lunch powers the clock.
Have you not noticed the em-dash in my comment?

Just yesterday my non-technical spouse had to solve a moderately complex scheduling problem at work. She gave the various criteria and constraints to Claude and had a full solution within a few minutes, saving hours of work. It ended up requiring a few hundred lines of Python to implement a scheduling optimization algorithm. She only vaguely knows what Python is, but that didn't matter. She got what she needed. For n…
> Just yesterday my non-technical spouse > It ended up requiring a few hundred lines of Python And she knows those a hundred lines of python work correctly and give her correct result because in this instance Claude managed to produce a working result. What if it didn't? Would vague knowledge of Python have helped her? > It won't be trivial, but I do think there's a big opportunity for whoever can translate the exper…
Is there anyone that feels that LLMs are wrong for computer use? It's like robotic, if find LLMs alone are really slow for this task
Faster LLMs will be here by next year.
