Every company has to collaborate with spy agencies. Majn difference vs. Gmail or most others is for email and files Proton have no information to give except the IP you used (really hard for users to mask), and they…
My favorite line I hear as a Canadian is that we don't make up enough of the population of the world to care about our emissions. Usually followed or preceded by some form of 'and besides the other guys aren't doing…
I don't think Mythos is even close to what is available privately. If you can touch it as a consumer it's been heavily nerfed / censored and isn't using nearly as much compute as an actual SOTA model. But it'll reach…
If that's your definition of AGI then there's never a proper way to measure it. Them being conscious and autonomous may very well already be the case. Remember that we only have access to the consumer LLMs, the tech is…
Again if you can't find 100 things an LLM is better than you at in an afternoon I call you a liar. Just because it's different in kind doesn't mean we can't marvel at how insane it is and give it credit for what it can…
What an odd bar. People need to be involved because we haven't built the proper amount of robotics to create a data center from sand yet. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we could given enough effort and the current…
Go through the various definitions of AGI. They didn't start to become "it has to be a god that can do everything 100x better than a human" until very recently. If you can't find 100 tasks an AI is better/faster than…
* results may vary depending on your specific definition of AGI. I like the way Kevin Roose put it: if you were to bring Astra or Opus 5.5 back to 2017 and show it to the leading AI researchers at the time and ask them…
My take is that most art, prose, and code was really bad before AI too. Now there's just more of it good and bad. It's like hating that YouTube exists because cable TV was so good. Now anyone with a camera can make and…
Video games are a perfect example of how innovation all but stops when a few companies have access to all of the resources. Companies like EA, Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard all make mostly hot garbage these days because…
>But "sudo make me a sandwich" style of vibe coding is just removing the obstacles to enshrining ambiguities and bad decisions in code. I'm of the opinion that if you think it will stay this way you haven't been paying…
There's a reason why enterprises don't give you an admin account on Windows. Sure damage can still be done, but the blast radius is highly reduced. It was like the first rule I learned about Linux back in the day: don't…
Such a wild take to me. I install an entirely different operating system on my phone (graphene) which also advises me not to root because it's stupidly unsafe to do so. I also don't log in as root on linux, nor do I log…
I can root my Android phone and have in the past, but I have absolutely no desire to do so now because it adds almost no functionality in exchange for a very large security risk. I consider rooting my phone in the past…
I love Nintendo and have since the NES was released. Taking a day or 2 to set up an Ayn Thor w/ every game I've ever played from my childhood, the instruction manuals, and whatever other conveniences modern emulation…
Wait until you see how the Apollo lunar modules and such maneuvered in the 60s. This is pretty much all 60s and 70s tech we've seen before. Except it was much more impressive in the 60s on the moon. And I guess if you…
Do we not see a path forward where the humans are further informed, don't need to do so much heavy grunt work, and thus can think on deeper questions? I really don't see the final outcome being knowledge work for humans…
I think when the open source models catch up (likely soon) we'll long for the days when companies could control it like this. I could easily see a teenager with openclaw and a single prompt causing millions of dollars…
I too remember when we started colonizing Mars back in 2021. And that time I called my neighbor's Tesla robotaxi to drive me around in 2020.
My guess is there's a whole plethora of important information you're ignorant about that you could just look up and have full knowledge of if you cared. But nobody has time to care about everything. People only have so…
I predict this is going to change soon similar to how "look at how bad AI is at coding" changed. I understand that we all feel like something with a soul should be doing this stuff and it feels wrong to read something…
I think that's a bit mean to the people (in my experience most people) who didn't and still don't see it. What's happening right now is really akin to magic. We're throwing incantations at sand and it's doing work for…
The flip side to this is thinking everyone is on equal footing and that your trying is the same as their trying. They're just doing it wrong. Most people in this post's comments that are "not trying" seem to also be…
If the main effort is trawling through forums or poorly written documentation the main thing you've learned is how to trawl through these things. I'm of the opinion these should've never been useful skills to begin with.
I just heard the giantbomb guys describe how to block Claude code on Github so you don't have to play any filthy AI helped decompilations. It's a new kind of social benchmark among some people to be the most against AI.
