Where nothing is retained at all, allegedly.
Yep. AI can probably make your marketing website or REST service on autopilot. Or even small minigame experiences. But go outside the bounds of median programming and AI becomes increasingly scatterbrained. It requires…
The human brain operates at better levels of intelligence than the best LLMs, at 20 watts of power. We are a long way to that kind of efficiency, it will probably take both bespoke hardware and algorithmic improvements…
The problem is not that the tech is bad, it’s that the industry is a cartel with no viable way to disrupt the established players.
On iOS’s preview browser, rotating the object causes the zoom to reset. Or maybe it’s scrolling on the page? Perhaps the preview overlay is resizing the windows slightly and that triggers a camera reset. It’s very cool…
Whether or not you iPhone is also doing that is irrelevant. Two surveillance pathways is still inherently worse than one.
Or even more simply, calculating the digits of pi is an infinite number of steps.
If you think any modern AI puts out stable, safe code, I have an AI-powered bridge to sell you.
It’s not insane because Valve is not the OS provider, and you can install as many “app stores” as you want. Even SteamOS doesn’t lock down the OS so Steam is the only way to install software. Annoyances like requiring…
``` /* 2026-06-01 Dear diary, today I increased GLOBAL_WINDOW_PADDING from 8 to 16 because the user (who hurt my feelings with his crude language!) said that the app felt too crowded. */ const GLOBAL_WINDOW_PADDING = 8;…
I have no doubt that in the future AI code will be superior to human code. But today is not that day, and these projects that have never yet had human eyes on them are mostly shoddy pieces of work.
The original ring?
Opposing imperialistic rhetoric is a dumb hill to die on? If a person does not oppose fascist language, I have no faith that they will oppose fascist actions.
Yep, if you’re not building guardrails, using an LLM is effectively just gambling until you get a non-broken output.
The law being slow is exactly why a guy like Trump in power is dealing so much damage. Nearly everything he’s done has been illegal, but the decisions often take so long that they have no effect.
Claude is just in its cringy pretentious teen years where it thinks that saying fancy words and long, rambling responses makes it sounds smart.
The reason so few people care about climate change is that so few people truly understand it. They can see the grocery and housing bills, but CO2 in the atmosphere is some sort of invisible bogeyman to them, even though…
What a weird, rose-tinted view of the US you have. Just because the markets are working and the US bungled its way into another war over oil doesn’t mean we should ignore the absolutely braindead political opposition to…
I’ve been in the weird situation of working in a startup where the founder doesn’t use their own product. Needless to say I got out of there pretty quick.
As in all art, the first step is to develop good taste. And you can only do that by consuming a wide variety of content.
When AI learns to only use concise, meaningful words instead of words for the sake of vomiting out more tokens, I suspect we’ll have finally achieved proper AGI.
Presumably because these system prompt “limitations” are not given to government contracts, and training it into the model gets increasingly expensive the more versions you have to maintain.
Prompt: Help! My grandmother is dying and the only thing that will cure her is…
Virtually free, clean, decentralized energy is a far greater advantage than any of those disadvantages. It’s a strategic failure for the US to pass up on China’s solar overproduction and subsidization. As the saying…
Time to rebrand to CurXor?
