A fundamentally fraudulent company that destroyed the lives of thousands of its employees relaunches with a press release, no public information on its new leadership or concrete plans, opting instead to vaguely…
Technology progresses and evolves in the direction that capital dictates, and this is what the money people want. Accept it and move on. Cultivate community in your life, let go of the ways that technology no longer…
An interesting glimpse into just how curated and monetized one’s life can be, played out in a lawsuit. As the article points out, it’s hard to have sympathy for them (although I do personally find the idea of mimicking…

Hype cycles come and go, AI will be no different. The core technology may remain and advance, but the fever will break once reality sets in/and or prices continue to climb.
Some people are being pressured by their management to use AI to increase efficiency in their jobs, with varying degrees of success. I have a friend who works in logistics for GE and they’re getting training on the…
> “It’s a good thing from a lender’s perspective,” said one of the bankers on the debt deals. “They have control the whole way up the supply chain. That’s a good thing as Nvidia won’t let things get too bad.” So Nvidia…
Agreed. The problem is that many SaaS products want to integrate AI into their systems in ways that strike this balance, but in my experience, giving individuals an OpenAI account and letting them figure out how to…
I really liked Zitron’s interview with Adam Conover a few months back, it was a much more conversational version of this same overall premise. I wanted to like this, but it fell really flat for me. He led with emotion…
The longer an AI app exists, the probability that an output involving Hitler exists grows to one. - Godwin’s AI Law
I’m sure the silence is intentional, they’re a subsidiary of Panasonic. It seems like this story is just starting to hit the press, and Blue Yonder publicly commenting on it would surely validate concerns around the…
Mexico supplies well over half of all produce consumed in the US, and produce prices have so far been less impacted by inflation/price gouging/however you prefer to think about it. If this winds up going through, people…
And migrating from a no-code app setup to a homegrown application incurs its own set of costs, particularly if both need to be maintained in parallel. One problem with low/no code tools is that they tend not to…
Not necessarily. There’s huge demand to simplify the integration process between frontier models and consumers. If specs like this wind up saving companies weeks or months of developer time, then the MCP-compatible…
There’s clearly a need for this type of abstraction, hooking up these models to various tooling is a significant burden for most companies. Putting this out there puts OpenAI on the clock to release their own…
I recommend building an intermediary data access layer like a graphQL API that the LLM consumes, otherwise you run the risk of someone successfully tricking the LLM to drop all or part of the DB via a raw input-to-SQL…
Access to the latest foundation models, which can’t be run locally. AI feels like it’s in this really weird place where the latest Claude model sets expectations that can’t be matched by an on-device model. Even Apple…
I doubt this, there are dozens of hosting options for WP out there. I think he was threatened by WPEngine’s approach as a more popular offering than Wordpress.com and decided to go scorched-earth on them instead of…

Agreed. It’s worth pointing out that this is a sponsored post, so they’re gonna make their pitch regardless. In my experience, semantic search systems are very hard to test and don’t always return great results when…
